Welcome man! It nice to see you here. Don't be afraid to ask questions about Ike, we have a lot of skilled players ( I am not one of them).

I honestly can't believe it took me so long to come to this thread. I was a main-stay in the support thread before he was revealed. But speaking of Ike, am I the only one that dislikes his new F-air animation?

 

[Ekans647]

I couldn't even tell the difference. Functionally, the move is great, especially after the patch.

I don't know what it is about the animation the move itself is just as good as I remember but that animation just looks... Awkward.

I don't think it would be possible for Ike to be swinging a sword as that's almost as tall as him in the air and not look awkward.

Yeah, it looks weird. It makes much more sense to slam it downwards.

Yeah his Brawl animation seemed like it had more impact to it, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that way.

 

[Ekans647]

Personally I've never noticed Ike's F-Air in Brawl. Now you've got me curious, so I'm going to compare the two.

 

[RadiantTactician]

Yeah, I don't like the animation as much as Brawl's; for me, it's hard to distinguish between that and his nair (and not as cool).

Made a gif of his brawl animation...

 

[Ekans647]

Thanks. Could you make one of his SSB4 animation?

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

It's not the best but it was the best i could do with what I have to work with.

 

[-RedX-]

Guess nobody likes the leg sticking out. Heh

 

[Ekans647]

I just looked at the two animations and I like both. The Brawl animation fits the younger PoR Ike, while the more controlled SSB4 animation looks fits the more experienced RD Ike.

 

[Arrei]

Huh, never noticed Brawl's animation probably would've resulted in some major spine problems for Ike. Almost looks like he knees himself in the face doing it, heh.

 

[Oblivion129]

I just want his Fair hitbox to match his animation.

 

[Ekans647]

What wrong with the hitbox?

 

[-RedX-]

The upper hitbox is a lie.

 

[PyroTakun]

Has anyone here been utilizing Ledge Trump + BAir?

It's so good with Ike

 

[Ekans647]

So who would be okay with Priam as a clone/semi-clone/alt of Ike?

 

[A2ZOMG]

Tell that to me, I main Ganondorf.

But yeah, I've seen @ -RedX- go for it with varying levels of success. Good players eventually buffer ledge getups out of fear of trumps, which you then predict those and punish.

Went up against Megaplox's Fox. Completely bodied me because he read my every move. I've got the videos saved, but I haven't seen anyone post on the Video Critique thread in days. I actually had to go Mario to beat him. Very discouraging as an Ike main.

By the way, what's the Ike Skype group again?

That's how I feel sometimes, though I feel my Ike always improves. I've been trying to play him more like Ganon lately. Trying to control the stage, being patient, only attacking when I feel it'll hit, and racking up damage. Emphasis on controlling the stage.

Also, I can tell them to add you to the Ike Skype group if you want.

 

[Robin1613]

So does anyone know who Ike's bronze color is based off of?

Great. Mine is DurangoX4.

His father.

EDIT: Nvm, might be Boyd.

On the topic of trumping, if you don't feel confident in the amount of frame advantage you got, it's probably a good idea to just get back on stage and charge a smash and release it when they re-grab the ledge. Assuming they can't recover high enough after being trumped, they have to go for the ledge again with no invincibility.

 

[COLDRAMEN]

This is my first post on any forum and I hope you guys can welcome me to the world of ike mains.

 

[Rango the Mercenary]

Gladly. Welcome friend, and prepare yourself!

What color Ike are you?

I mainly play red ike, also here's a profile picture I cropped together of ike that you guys can use if you want.

 

[Rango the Mercenary]

Nice picture. I'm a red Ike myself.

 

[Ekans647]

Welcome, @ COLDRAMEN ! We're a great thread and we have a lot of good players. Thanks for making the Ike pic. I generally play standard Ike.

 

[PyroTakun]

Red Ikes unite!

 

[Rango the Mercenary]

Looks better than that godawful brown cape in the Black Knight costume. Seriously, if the outer cape was black or purple, I'd be more inclined to use him. Brown???

I used to use Black Knight palette on 3DS.
It's weird how they changed it in the Wii U version.

 

[Xuan Wu]

The Black Knight palette, from what I notice, does seem to be a bit overused. I use it mainly because it reflects my tag, which translates roughly to "Black Warrior" or "Black Tortoise General".

Oh, and I'm also a fan of the Black Knight in Path of Radiance, so that too further influenced my decision. ^-^

Odd. I prefer using brighter colours because Ike is known as the Radiant Hero.

 

[Diddy Kong]

I killed my friend's Palutena at 25% with Aether on rage mode at Omega Palutena's Temple yesterday. We where both shocked when this happened to. Anyone ever experience hax kills with Aether to?? Gotta say it really makes me love Ike more <3

I typically tend to use the White Palette (which im pretty sure is the Chrom palette swap if im not mistaken), given i tend to like using White/Black palette swaps with most of my characters. Plus, given he's the Radiant Hero, white is bright and could be considered Radiant. : 3
