Interesting. I never thought about using QD's new autocancel height as a mixup to avoid landing traps. Poor Olimar can't avoid Eruption.

May as well come out of the woodwork to say I still play Ike in this game, though I'm not sure if he'll be my main yet.

I haven't seen any good Ike play with all of my time being in local matches (I've been borrowing other people's 3DS' prior to getting mine today, hehe), so I'd like to see what other Ike players have up their sleeves.
I'm mostly interested in some mirror matches so I can practice in match and learn some Sm4sh Ike tricks. I'm coming from ProjM Ike, you see.
Also, I'd rather not do custom builds as I'm trying to focus on vanilla build strategies first.

So who wants to *ohoho so lame* give me no sympathy?

I don't have a Wii U atm and I don't know when I'll have one but I think my NNID should be removed until I get that worked out.

My Ike vs Fox
On stage seemed fine, but with Fox off-stage there were way too many missed eruptions.
You could have Fair'd his midair jump a few times, or when he tried to recovery with UpB, you could have Dair'd, Bair'd for the stage spike, or ran off-stage and countered his recovery.

Eruption works, as seen on the last KO, but you could have won more comfortably with some of those off-stage attacks mentioned. Personally I use eruption against those like Pac-Man, Luigi, etc. but the timing is harder than using an off-stage attack so I'm not sure if I would recommend it.

Your counters, an attack I don't normally see being used that much, were on point, though. Pulled it off each time.

Thanks so much san! It was fun playing against you. Even though I didn't win once I learned a few things from you. Hopefully we can play again some time. :)

Yo, I'm Trueblade. I've been eyeing the competitive side of Smash Bros for a long time, but never really felt I've had an in until now. I'm aware of some of the advanced techniques, lingo and whatnot, but it's clear I have a long way to go. Hoping to be able to get some feedback so I can step my game up. Still got some pretty bad habits from casual play. WiiU version preferred.

I finally got my Wii U.
Would you mind editing my NNID?
NNID:Flint_Iori
Sure!

It makes things helpful that you get friend request alerts on the Wii U version. Make sure to add some people in your country for low lag matches.

San, don't forget to edit my NNID to Xuanwu_2014. ^-^

Anyway, I was thinking we should have a new series of Ike tourneys, much like the bi-weeklies Nysyarc started in the past.

Greetings fellow users of the blue flame. While I play Robin more than I play Ike, I still find Ike to be really fun and satisfying. He's my #2 Fire Emblem character to use, and probably 4th over all.
