It is finally November. The C-stick will very soon be accessible to us. I cannot wait to see how this would impact Ike's performance in the SSB4 meta.

Actuallly started to use uthrow a bit and I have little problems connecting a nair and sometimes fair/uair with a full hop or a quick buffered double jump, even at mid-high %s. Anyone else feel the same?

I get a lot of confirmed links at low-mid percents with down throws into F-Air/N-Air. I feel like the right way to go is to use this to lead into strings and apply pressure. Up-Throw could continue this but at high percents I think it'll only work against a limited amount of characters like CF.
I haven't done proper testing outside of training mode but I've gotten Uthrow-double jump Fair to count as a combo around 100-115% on characters like Sheik and Robin and it'll kill if it was at the edge. Very strict timing. The upper hitbox of Fair is pretty impressive. Uthrow-full hop Fair works around maybe 60-80%.
Yeah, I think they can VI up to avoid it around 80+, but it can still be a mixup to dthrow if you think they will VI down or not VI. 30-70 feels like I can get it every time as long as I'm below 60%. 0-20, I can only get a nair, and sometimes only nair is guaranteed if they VI away unless I can get the beginning frames of fair/uair.

Yes, I've been doing that and it's a lot more reliable than Uair or Fair, IMO, and it puts you in a position where you can try to follow up.

, shield to Usmash against ledge attacks is working great. Thanks for that!

Guess since it's been just over a month since Smash 4 came out in Australia, I'll finally crawl my way out of lurker status :3 I've learnt a lot from all the circulating information on the Ike boards, and I really appreciate it! Unfortunately, so far I can't contribute much at all which hasn't already been discussed :/ I'm looking forward to how the Ike boards and tech will continue growing, especially with the Wii-U version coming soon.
Bust out that smart phone.

Ryuga is a guy who was banned from the skype group for being an asshole. But smashboards has a wordfilter, so I'll just call him a butt instead.

Ryuga comes from the same State as me. I still remember him destroying me in the AiB ladder a while back. Still longing for a rematch.

I agree, Ike sucks the win straight out of the top players' grasps.
Great play ryuga. I'm getting really motivated to climb the west coast ranks with ike now.

Someone really should make an Ike guide and post it http://smashboards.com/guides/
Do it for the 100 dollar prize money for our friends!

Too lazy to know how to convert my existing thread to it.

D1 is going to be hosting a sneak peak of Smash Wii U in West Hollywood, so I'm gonna try go and tell you guys how Ike feels with the C Stick. There is a small chance I won't be able to go so don't get too excited. I'll try to get some footage also.
All the videos will be on youtube.com/flyingcsok

Just stopping by to say Ike is facing DK in Conquest right now.
I suppose the Japanese gorilla jokes will finally become reality.

Sorry I haven't respond here lately. My account stop notifying me for some reason. Congrats on Ryuga for showcasing Ike so well! It always shocks me to se how swiftly people can move with Ike.
I just finished unlocking all of Ike's customs the other day. What customs do you guys recommend on Ike?
I'm really liking the new conquest mode on SSB4 mode so far. Are all you guys supporting just Ike, or are you also playing Little Mac as well?Just stopping by to say Ike is facing DK in Conquest right now.

Well I use Ike quite a bit in free for alls. I don't use his customs though -- I don't have any.

Personally I only change his Standard B. I use Tempest but Furious Eruption is also good.
You can change Side B to Close Combat if you prefer.
Regular Aether is good offensively.
Counters I haven't tried much.

I'm back folks. Ike feels really strange with the GC controller overall. I didn't feel like I was in complete control over him during the time I played. He feels really floaty, and I realize that this game can be that way sometimes, but it was very strange. I haven't touched a GC controller in months though so maybe that's why. Things will surely change once we get our hands on the game though.

Okay, I'm officially in.
Ike is so much fun to play right now. Got any quick advice that can be effectively used? Nair'ing is really the best option to play alone here. I think I'll upload some matches later. Arena Ferox is fun too.

Quick advice: Dash grab is decent, dthrow->fair/bair/uair at low to mid percents, spam bair along with nair, nair->jab and tilts at low %, nair->aerials at mid %. Usmash and Utilt are great for kills.
Those are the easiest bread and butter without going into more specifics.

Do you guys think Ike is overall better or worse than in Brawl? I know the execution of most of his moves are faster, buT his attacks are weaker. What do you think of SSB4 Ike?
