So been playing a lot obviously and idk guys ike just feels awful. So many little changes make so many things not work in here and the account of no c stick it's so hard to retreat fair. 3 hit jab is fine but you can't jab to grab or any other shenanigans anymore because the ending lag. Nair feels slower to me while connecting. Dwn tilt is awesome one of the only things I like about him. Maybe because no c stick he seems worse then I think but it's like everything that worked for him before doesn't. I know it is a different game and I shouldn't expect that. Idk I want some other people's opinions on him lets talk tactics etc. rant over lol

A lot of things aren't going to work that well until we can get our cstick =)

I'm still trying to figure out alternatives to jab. I'm at a loss for what to do to pressure up close other than bair, and the differences in grabbing throws me off sometimes since he doesn't slide.

From what I can understand is that Jab2 has too much knockback which make Jab3 very difficult to connect, and it's very proeminant at higher %. Having the dommage reduce from 16 % to 11 % is fine, but seeing this knockback on the second Jab makes it very difficult to have it usefull. If at the very least this wasn't an issue, it wouldn't too bad !

As far as I can tell in general, combo jab are really weak, while infinite jab with finisher are really too powerful. That's pretty lane on this side !

Just played at the first "official" tournament in Canada. I definitely feel like Ike's weaker range makes the Lucina, Mario and Greninja matchups difficult. Once they get in, its hard to get them out. Proper DI on Mario's up tilt at low %s is downward and buffering shield, and I'm not sure how to handle Greninja's grab game. Spacing fair on shield seemed to be punishable with how fast his dash grab is.

Since jab isnt as reliable all the time, I find myself using the new down tilt quite a lot, its a great spacing tool on the ground now, and it recovers pretty fast.

http://youtu.be/ytYNAYCxtYA This is another fight I had with my friend.
lol@thatconditioning he did for the first 2 and a half min. Like wow, talk bout abuse with his thrust. Gonna be honest and say I'd of at least expected ya to catch on to him doing that after the 5th time or so, and retaliate with a counter or something. Also for that marth, lack of off air stage play makes me a sad panda, plenty of times he could of bit the bullet and walked off, countered into your Quick Draw, then recover. Feels like both ya'll were trying to still play it like brawl, but just my thoughts at a quick glance.

So is he bad or not?

I'm basing my entire Wii U buy prospects on Ike being, at least, middle tier.

Hey, have any of you faced captain falcon with Ike? I find it to be a very fun match up.

I see what you meant. I fell for that n b a lot in that vid. The playing like brawl thing would probably be because we played that match the day the game came out, so we were still getting used to it.

Honestly once the wii U version comes out he will be a lot better idk about mid tier though...he's lost a lot and gained little. Even with him hitting the gym hard.

Also guys november 21st we can fight for our friends with gamecube controllers. Confirmed today by sakurai.

I'm loving fighting as Ike in Smash4. Hopefully I'll be spending some more time on For Glory in the near future, since I had some great initial matches with some incredibly good players (kudos to you, random Sheik who thrashed me).

Some Ike vs Greninja from a tournament on Saturday https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7Mp3x4SwVw There's some other gameplay of mine floating around on the EMG channel. I had a set with Toronto Joe in pools where I won 2-1, but it hasn't been uploaded. There is however a set of the two of us in bracket where he beat me 2-0 with DHD and Sheik, if you care to search for it. As a part of EMG, it'd be great if you guys subscribed, seeing as how it'll be one of the few channels with Smash 4 tournament footage from the 3DS :)

Message: Returning Ike veteran from Brawl. Sad at the sheer lack of buffs Ike received and the total nerf of his godly jab. I still love this character though because he's manly as all hell and I cosplay him. I'm known primarily for being a spacing machine and I run just about every smash thing in the UK.

LOOKS LIKE IM BACK AFTER ALL GAIZ

Message: Another Brawl veteran from the respective Ike boards. I have been lacking sympathy for over three years now (I have made countless psychiatric consultations), and I don't intend to stop fighting for my friends any time soon. As the sun rises, so does my blade.

Prepare yourselves.

My girl Eruption is still too good. <3

http://youtu.be/K9nV65xK-yc This is the first for glory match I had, it also happens to be the first online match I had as well. :) It was vs. Pikachu. This is only 1 of many for glory matches I have had since. I have some good Ike vs. Captain Falcon matches I plan to upload soon.
