Ike Boards General/Q&A Thread

[Heartstring]

There are some people who are too headstrong to learn something not related to their culture.

what, you mean like most of america and england? :B

Apex is gonna be sweet

I hope Ike can pull off a similar situation Sonic did at MLG XD

if it does, im going to buy every ike i know from here a pint of something
by that, i mean 2 ikes in top 8. like sonic at mlg

I've always wondered if these guys ask for permission before they take these videos. Highly doubt it.

dont be silly
but come on, old man sharkie needed to be in there, nova scottia got hype for the first time ever

i really, really wish they had tekken in the lineup. its the fighter that im best at...admittedly its also the only fighter in which i use a high tier. strange that :B

 

[Mr. Doom]

Mr. Doom will be back.. they always come back.

Well... We'll just see about that.

 

[Zatchiel]

Welcome back, Mr. Doom.

 

[Heartstring]

Welcome back, Mr. Doom.

Actually its more immigrants in America who are like that. Most Americans like embracing other cultures, that's why they eat a variety of foods probably.

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

We like lots of food because we're fat.

 

[Ussi]

you don't have to like a variety of food to be fat, you just have to like fast food :\

 

[Teh Brettster]

I love Indian food.

 

[theeboredone]

White Anglo American: I love how this country has so many different types of food! Taco Bell! Panda Express! KFC!

 

[Ussi]

I love Indian food.

Now i wonder if you eat the watered down version or not.. then again I eat a watered down version of what my parents eat.. so i'm gonna say yea its watered down in spices.

 

[Teh Brettster]

Watered down? Yeah, buffets tend to be watered down. But I have had more than just "don't hurt the Americans' poor little mouths" buffet Indian food. And am I not the one who made fun of everyone else for not being able to deal with spicy food here?

 

[Mr. Doom]

Welcome back, Mr. Doom.

Wild Meneil appears

 

[Meneil]

<.< That's the first time someone's called me out on lurking lol.

Chicago's a great place for food. Some local restaurants have inspired me to try cooking Italian and Chinese.

 

[Teh Brettster]

Meneil lives!

Wow, I sort of forgot that Italian food exists. I never get any except for the yearly Christmas Eve super fancy Italian dinner we reserve in October. Heh.

 

[Ussi]

I had some leftover cafeteria pasta for lunch, I tossed it out after 4 forkfulls.

 

[Teh Brettster]

Rangers just took game 2 of the WS.

Coming back to home field advantage for the next 3 games. So ready.

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

Phillies should be in the World Series.

I want free food.

 

[Ussi]

Last year's world series, i had a little fun trash talking with my friend who lived in San Francisco. Course eating all my words just made it all the better for my friend :|

 

[Teh Brettster]

I don't think you're wrong in saying the Phillies should be in the WS. But. Cardinals earned it.

Rangers were just on a mission. I had no doubt they'd get back to the fall classic.

 

[Heartstring]

ice cream?
or are we talking full on meals?
my family is boring when it comes to foods, in return it means im dubious as hell when i eat something other than spuds peas and a meat

I had some leftover cafeteria pasta for lunch, I tossed it out after 4 forkfulls.

good to see american cafeteria food hasnt changed

also, why is it called the world series when its all in america?

 

[Ussi]

cause Canada and Mexico have baseball teams too

 

[Nidtendofreak]

World Series due to be sponsored by World Chewing Gum, or something like that back when it started.

 

[Teh Brettster]

There is nothing on the internet that says anything about that that I can find. Lol.

It's called the World Series because when it started, there was no other country that had professional baseball teams. This is I think the 107th World Series... Japan and Mexico, etc., didn't start up with baseball until after 1920.

 

[Heartstring]

cause Canada and Mexico have baseball teams too

america is a continent. on which canada and mexico are part of

same to brett. only he mentios japan too :L

 

[Nidtendofreak]

Then TV has lied to me yet again!

 

[Teh Brettster]

Okay... I mentioned Japan because they are the only other country with a prominent baseball league.
Europe didn't have baseball until 1950s.

What else do you want? I just answered your question 100% truthfully and you're talking like it's not a valid answer.

Let me say it again.

NOBODY ELSE HAD BASEBALL WHEN THE WORLD SERIES WAS STARTED AND NAMED.

Also, I laughed hard at the post below this one.

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

america is a continent.

Are you sure about that?

 

[theeboredone]

america is a continent.

In a world where you can simply edit your posts to prevent stupidity...

Btw, someone tell me properly how to do b-throw to dash attack? I'm terrible at it, and I figure I should finally get around to fixing that issue. My opponents always end up p-shielding it.

 

[Ussi]

Just keep practice buffering it. To properly buffer it you have to have to use the cstick but then have it in the neutral position once the IASA frame start. So you'll jab/dtilt/whatever if the cstick is in a direction when the IASA starts.

Its exactly like CGing with Pikachu xD so I got used to doing things like this.

 

[jamlosingthegame]

Don't forget bthrow > DA percents.

I also fail at jabbing Falco out of illusion.

 

[Teh Brettster]

You have to have a combination of read/react to jab out of illusion.

Time a flick of the control stick and c-stick
(c-stick a tiny bit later)

when you see the kick part of bthrow hit.


Remember to flick the control stick. You don't want to buffer a walk instead of a dash.

Once you're confident with bthrow->DA, you can probably use it safely 25%+, unless it's a character with invincible upB or something like yoshi (who still can't do much with the double jump)

 

[Teh Brettster]

No way... hold the control stick down, otherwise you run the risk of accidentally letting go before you Cstick, and you won't get a dash attack out. And hit the Cstick as soon after the control stick as you can.

 

[theeboredone]

So when you say flick the control stick, do you mean, flick it, and hold the control stick in that direction? I mean that's what I generally do and my timing fails on it.

And someone just put the button combination step by step using the c-stick. I remember Brett posting a while back about how he always guarantees a hit after he incorporated the c-stick into the b-throw to dash attack.

 

[jamlosingthegame]

The problem with me is that I can see it coming and I know it's coming and I know when it's coming (because the guy I was playing uses it too much). But I just can't get it right. I've only jabbed him out of it once successfully. My reads usually consist of spacing myself for jabs after the illusion though.

 

[san.]

@Jam, it takes a little bit of timing. I really only try to do it in cases where that's one of Falco's few options, near the edge.
The good thing about jabbing phantasm, is that jab lasts so long, there are times where you jab the invulnerable part, but falco still gets hit behind you. Even if you only get the phantasm to clank with jab, it's still good.

You can also punish phantasm in more traditionl ways: usmash, fair Falco offstage before phantasm, etc.

So when you say flick the control stick, do you mean, flick it, and hold the control stick in that direction? I mean that's what I generally do and my timing fails on it.

Holding the control stick is probably where events don't proceed as intended. When you hold the control stick, you tend to buffer a walk instead of a dash.

Here is step by step what I do, and I get the DA a vast majority nowadays unless I really screw up.

After the bthrow:

Prepare to move when you see the kick coming out.

When the kick hits the opponent, input the dash on the control stick as fast as you can, and release.
Slightly after moving your control stick to dash, you have to move the cstick in any direction quickly, then release. Same as the control stick.

The result is essentially tapping on the control stick and the cstick at relatively the same time(cstick slightly afterwards). When you see the kick hit and then let go of the controller, you see the dash attack come out a little while later.

This does a few things:

1. If you mess up, you're more likely to do nothing at all (If you dtilt, it's the way you tapped the sticks)

2. It's easier to understand the buffering window if you're not holding any inputs. For me, the cue was the kick. It can be something else for you.

3. More precision since the movements can be replicated fairly easily.

4. **You're SURE it's buffered. You know it will hit and if it doesn't then it was not possible to hit them.
