General Ike Discussion, Q&A, and Video Archive

[SamuraiPanda]

As the video section of this thread hasn't been updated in quite some time, if a different dedicated member would like to create a new video thread then please do so. PM me once the new thread is complete and I will give it a sticky.

And for the new thread, I highly suggest creating some sort of "best of" or "hall of fame" for the videos here. Its a very efficient way to show off the character to those who are curious as to how good the character is, among many other advantages. It will definitely be well worth the minimal amount of time it takes in the end.

I will do that

Ike would be good if he didnt fight for his friends. what a dork

Ha. That is so true. Which is why C. Falcon is awesome, because he doesn't care about anyone (see his falcon punch which destroys a galaxy)

I would like to know the moves of Ike...can anyone please tell me how can these moves be executed?

How is the dash executed?

The move @ 5 seconds

The move @ 8 seconds

The move @ 12 seconds

The move @ 45 seconds

The move @ 1:06 minutes

It seems so difficult to me...need some help... I just started playing brawl....and I like Strong players like Snake and Ike despite being heavy...

 

[Rykoshet]

<_< The move at 5 and 8 seconds is his forward B, quick draw. If you do not hit with it there;s no delay at the end of it.

The move at 12 seconds is his neutral air.

The move at 45 is the pivot jump back air. Run, hit the opposite direction briefly to turn around, jump at the same time then hit the direction you were originally going and hit a.

The last one is the pivot grab, run, hit the opposite direction briefly and hit z at the same time.

 

[BigBossSnakeKun]

Thanks alot..hopefully I can execute this the right way.

Whats quick draw by the way? sorry still new with this brawl experience..

 

[comboking]

forward b

10 chars

 

[BigBossSnakeKun]

Does anyone know any dodging maneuvers? I seem to don't have good defense strategies...

 

[Veggi]

If someone is going to hit you with an attack without alot of force behind it, use the shield button so the move won't knock you too far, then use grab right after it. So you can grab them right after the attack. If someone is going to use an attack that will hit you away even if you shield it (something like Dedede's up b) so they can't be punished for using the move. Hold the shield button and when they are about to hit you, press down while holding shield so you can avoid the move. Using this is called a spot dodge because you can dodge a move without moving. Sometime you might want to dodge roll by holding shield and pressing left or right.

To avoid projectiles the best option for me is to just jump over them.

 

[SCOTU]

just shield/ spot dodge/ air dodge everything, and EX shield if you can.

 

[BigBossSnakeKun]

I know air dodge but sport dodge...can some tell me how to execute spot dodge? and thanks alot!

 

[Baseballfan1456]

Spot dodging means pressing Shield + Down on the analog stick iirc

 

[BigBossSnakeKun]

^thanks I'll be having a match with someone so I need all this knowledge...

 

[BigBossSnakeKun]

I just tried to do QD but it failed..I can't do it...side b doesn't seem to work..I can't do the same as the one in this screen shot..

 

[Kirk]

Up tilt. (tilt control stick up and press A)

 

[BigBossSnakeKun]

Up tilt. (tilt control stick up and press A)

So thats how you do it..I thought it was side b + side b thank you....

 

[Kilik 64]

What projectiles are stopped by Ike's jabs? The only ones I remember are Pikachu's jolts and Snake's grenades.

 

[Shugotenshi]

In Rykoshet's recent video, he said something about Having Tap Jump for an Utilt after a Jab Cancel or whatnot. What was exactly done and how was it done? And how does it differ from uptilting after jabbing without tapjump?

 

[Shugotenshi]

Also my bad for necrobumping XD I was just looking thru Ashunera's Library's Links and didn't notice this thread was this old o.O haha

 

[metroid1117]

In Rykoshet's recent video, he said something about Having Tap Jump for an Utilt after a Jab Cancel or whatnot. What was exactly done and how was it done? And how does it differ from uptilting after jabbing without tapjump?

He was referring how the opponent in the video was DI'ing up but couldn't jump out of the combo because he had turned tap jump off.

 

[Rykoshet]

Pierce and I were discussing this regarding meteor cancels. If you attempt to jump out of something but you're in hitstun the game sort of locks you for a brief few frames, however for some reason tap jump does not make this happen, and can you can mash up on the controller however you need to. Since he was already DIing up, he would have jumped out well before I finished that combo.

 

[Jinkwai]

So what's the deal with the Random Ike Guy at COT4?

 

[Rykoshet]

What about him. An inexperienced Ike in pool 1 named fuggles who got 3 stocked by Pierce, Anther, Lukky, Yoster, Probrawler, and Camalange. Since he was on the live stream tv, people were entertained that an ike was taking his licks. Since fuggles didnt use a tag, people just called him Random Ike Guy. Guy's nice, on the shy side though, think he was intimidated by it being his first tournament.

 

[Jinkwai]

I heard he beat someone good...but that's just what I heard.

 

[•Col•]

I heard he beat someone good...but that's just what I heard.

He 3 stocked M2K on Norfair.

 

[ikeplayer17]

i just got brawl and i was wondering about some good tips for playing as ike

 

[Palpi]

A good tip would be. Short up air dodge to the stickied topics.

 

[•Col•]

Omg, stop bumping this old thread. ;-;

Use the new one that is stickied. Can we get a lock on this?

 

[comboking]

I will get a lock on it just watch
