Ike Boards General/Q&A Thread

[Blubolouis]

Okay so Leon (who knows the ike match-up way too well) keeps Fsmashing tipper my aether, and it's really painful. So I have yet another question for you Ikes, and in particular to Mr.Doom:
do you think we can SDI the fsmash into the stage/ledge to tech?

 

[Mr. Doom]

It's possible, yes. Just make sure to buffer the input to tech the wall as you SDI into it. Also, if your damage is too low, you probably won't be able to bounce off the wall.

 

[Blubolouis]

Great! Also, do you think that kind of SDI is possible with only the control stick? (i have my cstick set as tilt)

 

[Mr. Doom]

If you have your c-stick set to anything but Smash (I don't know if this is true for B-sticking), you won't be able to SDI with the c-stick.

 

[Blubolouis]

Yah I know that, I was wondering if using only SDI (as opposed to what you'd call SDI and TDI) would be sufficient to SDI a move like Marth's Fsmash. Hopefully I'll find out anyway XD

thanks for the help

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

This is how I deal with that:

If you're playing on a stage where you can slide along a slanted edge with Aether (SV or BF for example), go under it if he's standing at tipper FSmash range and hit him with the Aether before grabbing the ledge. Should be able to reach him. If he's standing away from the ledge but ready to walk up and do the FSmash, do the Aether so you're above the ledge at the apex but below it during startup frames.

 

[Mr. Doom]

Oh, wait! Hold up! For some reason I thought you were talking about Falco, probably because I assumed that Leon plays Falco. You can't SDI Marth's tipper Fsmash. But if you were getting hit by another move, then my above statements hold true.

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

Okay, so I just tried to do that QD cancel on FD's ledge....and I have no idea how it works @.@ Someone care to explain?

Also, I'm finding it really easy to SJR with Bair...Might try it out in some matches with my crewmates.

 

[Ussi]

we got invaded....

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

It's okay, our Eternal Bond held us together as The Devoted Ike mains. The pony filth heard the Hymn of the Righteous.

 

[Ussi]

Omg i my habit of hitting text color is still prevalent in me

 

[jamlosingthegame]

Ponies get no points from me for not posting a pic I found with the show that will always get me to laugh. They stay neutral to me. I actually found the invasion entertaining, but annoying that the pages kept extending themselves. =/

I forgot to ask. In my small tourney at Anime Boston, I lost to a Luigi. Me being very inexperienced in almost all MUs, can someone explain to me the Luigi MU?

ermm, im not entirely sure what you mean, do you mean about ledge-snapping instantly?

[AN(M)ist]

I could see possible uses for that. But it would've been really outstanding if we could interrupt it onstage.

 

[Blubolouis]

You can't SDI Marth's tipper Fsmash.

Oh? that's too bad, why is that?

But if you were getting hit by another move, then my above statements hold true.

Okay, I'll keep it in mind then.


What is SJR? :3

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

What is SJR? :3

Second Jump....Revival? Reuse? I forget what the 'r' stands for, but anyway, it's where you get your 2nd jump back if your aerial ends right before you touch the ground. It's how Bowser does his infinite jumps.

 

[Heartstring]

oh, i have no idea ^.^

 

[Mr. Doom]

That's very dangerous and I wouldn't bother doing it myself. You may end up joining the club if you fail to perfectly execute that in tourney.

Oh? that's too bad, why is that?

Don't ask me, but that just happens to be the way the programmers designed Marth's tipper fsmash.

 

[theeboredone]

That seems kind of useless lol.

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

Guess I'll scratch that from my list of things to practice over the summer ._.

Learned some cool moves a little while ago.

I have been testing out approaching with out of shield bair. Just testing out the usefulness of this. It adds a whopping 1 frame extra to turn around before shielding.



Also, I think Ike is a lot better in the water than I thought. It's really simple but I don't really see other Ikes abuse this.

If we jump+aerial as close as possible, we short hop an aerial with very little water lag. We don't go very high either, so we can basically spam all of our aerials. Bair and Uair become especially useful, and Dair isn't that risky to use on someone anymore.

An easy way to test this is to go into the water, and Hold up/down and mash A+Jump (preferrably X/Y) for uair/dair, since order doesn't really matter much in the water as long as you're mashing A fast enough.

I have to deal with stuff like this every time my buddies and I play Mario Party. So. Much. Salt. There's more salt in that game than there is in Brawl. I don't understand.

 

[san.]

You finished your SMRPG LP already?

 

[jamlosingthegame]

Isn't that the Mario Party that has the mic and mic minigames? I remember getting that one Christmas. I didn't have the attention span to watch the whole thing so I saw like 2 minutes in. lol coin swapping.

 

[Mr. Doom]

You finished your SMRPG LP already?

No, not yet. I'm halfway done, but I'm going to take a different approach at it from now on. I just do the other LPs with my buddies. I guess you can call them LPs, since there's audio from the players. >_>

 

[Ussi]

mario party 4 is the best, and most skill based. The ones made after just suck :|

 

[Mr. Doom]

Aha-ha. They're still generally luck-based.

 

[Ussi]

:| i will never forget the day in Mario Party 5 where i was winning with 18 stars and on the last turn... efing chance star switch

 

[Pikabunz]

Still takes more skill than Mario Kart Wii.

 

[Ussi]

Everytime Kprime posts i think this is the pika baords

 

[Mr. Doom]

Kprime should run a no-items challenge and see how unskillful the game is.
Ussi gets no sympathy for thinking these are the Pikachu boards.

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

It's 2:30 AM in the morning and 20 minutes ago, I beat my crewmate's MK with Sheik.

Good night, and may Ftilt be written as the best move in the game.

 

[Teh Brettster]

I hate it when people say "A.M. in the morning."
Redundancy bother me sometimes.

 

[san.]

I never hear that, Brett. I never hear someone put AM/PM before the saying, usually 10 in the morning/at night etc.

Hey Ryo and Redx stop lurking at 3AM.

 

[Chuee]

Im lurking at 3:00

 

[Ussi]

I'm sleeping at 3:00

I was tired and half awake. =(

 

[san.]

LOL.

I think everyone should master the timing for aerial QD where the QD cancels the lag (slightly above the ground). It seems very useful.
