I was unaware that Ikes Eruption would spike. Does any one have a certain proof or frame of which this occurs?

Also, Bidou tech, good for Ike or just more in the way?

I for one think there could be some good utility in unique movement options and even more space control.
I mean, I'm all for a more agressive Ike, slapping b*****s silly with a b*****d sword.

Eruption spikes grounded opponents only when hitting with the tip and when not fully charged. So it's utterly pointless, in other words.

But word of using the spike to edgeguard got around for a bit because Wario had a glitch where he'd be considered grounded if he jumped off his motorcycle, causing Eruption to be able to spike him and Aether's spike hit to miss him, until it was fixed not too long ago.

I'm curious about the bidou setup for Ike as well. Most of my focus has been going into Pokken and SFV lately, so I haven't really sat down and tried it out yet.

I think Ike won't too much profit from Bidou, as we use our tilt stick, which makes it easier to space and trumps the usefulness of some additional techs.

I actually like my avatar... but it was already Ike, so I don't see the need to change all of it XD

I can vaguely remember Flavia, she was so minor. Do you guys know if this was based off our names or something?

Hi all. PoR and RD are one of my favorite games of all time. Ike is tied for my favorite FE lord (with the one and only morth) but I thought my Ike sucked at first so I only kept him as a pocket, but I went him for 90% of my tournament sets today because I felt like it. I got 7th place with this guy so I'm going to main and put in a lot more work with him now. Compared to a lot of other players I'm a really non-technical player, and IMO Ike is a relatively simple character to play, so I really like him in that sense. Nice to meet you all. :D

So, uh, you guys ever see those replays where Mac gets blown offstage after a grounded side B, finishes the animation as if he landed, then abruptly goes into freefall?

As I just learned against Link's boomerang... that can happen to us, too. So be ready to Aether, fellas.

so I recently picked up Ike, and I've been doing surprisingly well as him for the past week, but now I want some ATs.

some place I should look at?

Time once again to play the patch buff wishing game, compadres. Will we finally get a change to address Ike's biggest weaknesses? Or will we be left to the wayside as a solid middle tier?

All of my friends play Ike, so I decided to try him. He's pretty good.

I'm doing fine. It's been raining today, so I'm a little lethargic. You?
Pretty good, got a Rubik's Cube competition this weekend, and I'm filming a scene from Romeo and Juliet with a couple of friends as well. Probably gonna play Smash with them too.

Imagine the range Ike would have if his arms were as long as his swords~

Beautiful~

Took off the strategy thread, replaced it with @Izaw's guide, and added this for general discussion. Most people tend to use the discord and the guide is good enough for people to watch and get most of what they need. It's up to date, too.

I've started using this character in tournament out of nowhere and it has been working out. So here I am. If anyone can provide a link to the Ike Discord that would be dope. Thank you.

I'd like to say that I never really liked Ike that much up until like two weeks ago. I was watching Ryo play Roy (Because he's generally my boy) and I saw him switch to Ike and... It just inspired me. I've been playing almost nothing but Ike since and he's already entered my top 8 played characters in Smash overall from near the bottom. Also my highest score on Classic now which I thought would be forever Corrin's lol

Nice.

I know what you mean, watching a good Ike is mesmerizing. A good player can turn Ike into a Russian ballerina and it's a sight to behold. It's part of what keeps me coming back to him even though I'd be much better switching to Mewtwo or Cloud full time.

Out of curiosity, what video were you watching? I'd like to see it.

It was this one, initially. And I had it backwards, he played Ike first and then Roy. I've watched many of his Ike sets since.


On a separate note... Whoops~

So does anyone know how can Ike KO Kirby with his Up B in this video?
Around 1:00.

hey dudes, I'm trying to collect a bunch of quick easy info graphics on essential character knowledge to make a quick reference guide for commentators (we all hate it when a commentator says something that is wrong)
This shulk thing here is an example of the kinda stuff I am looking for


I'm going around to all the character boards and it'll be a little messy for me to try and check them all, so if you have any cool things like that, or just some useful info that I could turn into a similar picture, please send me a message. Cheers lads.
