Ike Boards General/Q&A Thread

[theeboredone]

Again, maybe the lack of the same game modes boils down to the consoles lacking in overall power? Remember when Diablo 2 came out for PS? Starcraft for N64? Were they magically supposed to go online to make them an "equal" product?

If a developer wants to stretch its wings, it's not fair for them to wait another 3-4 years for another console to come out when PC is right there. If the demand is high for a console product, they will make it, but don't expect things to be of the same quality.

 

[YagamiLight]

Evening, gentlemen!

How goes the, er, Iking?

 

[Ussi]

I wish there would be PC fighters, but at least I got touhou hisoutensoku :D


hai Light, cloverleaf misses you i think

 

[theeboredone]

Yeah something about gimmicky pokemon teams. I dunno.

 

[Ussi]

Like using a sun team in ubers or something.


So i'm watching the anime Kanon - its... about amnesia so far

Loveeeddd Kanon. So good. Enjoy it for its ridiculous magic realism.

 

[theeboredone]

Bout to start on AC: Brotherhood. After this, I finish Zelda when I get back and I manage to play the block buster titles I was interested in.

It has a VN too you know, which I was close to completing but had to reformat my laptop. I'll get back to it on winter break. When you see something by Key, just assume there's a VN for it and look it up if it really has one.

Funny how I stumbled onto this pic while there was talk of games here.

 

[san.]

Finally decided to play a little more of Xenoblade. Finally got 3 rainbow slugs (some of the hardest collectibles to acquire in the game) and got through most of the main plot twists.

Xenoblade really picked back up again, and there's still so much left to do. I'm going to start with all of the newly unlocked sidequests tomorrow or tuesday depending on how much studying I get done.

@Light we were talking about you a few pages ago. Namesearch it.

 

[DewDaDash]

San, when do u go on aim? I'd like to get a good discussion sometime if u dont mind.

 

[YagamiLight]

hai Light, cloverleaf misses you i think

Yo, Ussi. Well, I'm back for hopefully more frequent visits now, at least more frequent than bimonthly!

Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

=3

Been ages, Brett! what's new?

@Light we were talking about you a few pages ago. Namesearch it.

The first time I've namesearched myself. I feel like some reverse-stalker now.

And to Bored: That movie trailer was ridiculously good. I am so hyped up for the Ace Attorney movie now...

 

[theeboredone]

Wtf, how many pages did you go back? Or did I mention your name in that post?

 

[Sky Pirate]

hai Light, cloverleaf misses you i think

You didn't have to phrase it in such an embarrassing way. T_T

Ussi, did you watch every episode of the Clannad anime, including the alternate arcs and the

mediocre

motion picture?

 

[Ussi]

I didn't watch the film, i heard its the different from the series and its long >_> Alternate arcs did no justice for Tomoyo and Kyou :\

@jam i know Kanon is a VN but I heard the anime is better than the VN

 

[Sky Pirate]

I think they did well for trying to cram the stories into one episode each.

 

[Ussi]

I just felt so much was left out. Trying to condense a full length route into 1 episode is hard though... I thought at least 2 episodes each would be nice considering that what most routes in the anime had.

+5 interwebs for you.

And hai light.

@Ussi: New ISP migration just went down earlier this morning, i'll see about pulling the stick out and trying my hand at you in soku later today or sometime before thursday. Old man comes home then and i'll be nearly absent from most my internet creepy habits. Just give me a day/time and i'll see what I can pull.

 

[jamlosingthegame]

Oh boo. The time Sen's not busy and ready for Soku I have work to do

 

[holyv]

Light remembers me of Death Note.

That was a good anime.

 

[Ussi]

I'm not home till night today :/

 

[Teh Brettster]

Been ages, Brett! what's new?

Some of the same stuff. Getting closer to finishing college (and, logically of course, losing all motivation), still wishing people played Brawl closer to me, etc. Got me a job in a campus cafeteria, and had to trim up my facial hair, but aside from stuff like that, I'm still the same ol' Brett.

Anyway, we played a few friendlies and either he is really good, or im a scrub, im willing to believe its both
post smash-flop depression, kbye

Cmon don't be depressed, the Ike ditto is one of the most ******** one in brawl and I hardly think you're a scrub, you just need to be 100% focused (you were in I think 2 of our friendlies, and the difference was noticeable).
Show us our awesome picture, so that everyone here can behold how manly EUIkes look

So about this tournament, it really wasn't that great but it wasn't that bad either, and coupled to the fact that I met both dutchies and UK players it overall was pretty good. I'm just sad I didn't do any MMs.. should have begun iniating them sooner.
I got 7th out of 30~, using Ike for all my matches except 1 match vs a falco main and my entire set vs Anaky, a good UK marth main.

 

[san.]

San, when do u go on aim? I'd like to get a good discussion sometime if u dont mind.

DewDaDash, my laptop has been broken for the last week or so, so I am borrowing someone else's at the moment. I don't think this has AIM but I could see if I could stay on meebo or w/e for a while.

Haha cheers man. I was personally disappointed with myself though so yeah XD
The UK players were really impressed with you and dueler, with you two being people we hadn't seen before. It's a shame calz flaked the event because he would have made for some hyped grand finals
And i was going to ask for a MM, but you had to leave earlier than i expected, so i didn't get to
Anyway, time for manly EU ike's (its large)

Spoiler

Me on the left, Blubo on the right

 

[Zatchiel]

That shirt has a great deal of my interest. Not even certain of getting MW3, incidentally.

I already gave my thoughts in the MLP thread, so I won't reiterate.

 

[crifer]

I wanna play or MM every Ike at APEX :-)
Wonder how other Ike mains in comparism to Yoh play...

i'm down to play/MM depending on the amount.

 

[DewDaDash]

Not sure what meebo is but you can just go on aim.com and sign in. You don't need to dl aim like you used to need to.

 

[Ussi]

meebo is a site that lets you sign on a bunch of IM messengers like MSN, AIM, Yahoo, and such. It was made for mobile phones before apps.

Read some stuff and this is about issdi

It should be noted that when in shield hitlag, a player can SDI horizontally while remaining in shield.

ISSDI and Dual Sticking can be manipulated to create some truly unique scenarios where the same input on the player's part might yield different condition based outcomes (option-select) out of shield:

If you tap the analog stick towards your opponent and C-Stick upwards, you perform a Forward Roll or Buffer Grab Option Select. If inputted outside of the presence of shield hitlag, you will input a forward roll. In the presence of shield hitlag, you will input two analog stick SDI input towards your opponent for a grab if you input both sticks during shield hitlag. However, if you were holding forward prior to going into shield and shield hitlag and only the C-Stick is inputted during shield hitlag, it will perform only one SDI input while buffering a grab. The option select will then alternatively be a standing grab if inputted outside of the context of shield hitlag.

If you hold the analog stick towards your opponent and then input away from your opponent, you perform a Back Roll or Buffered Grab Option Select. If inputted outside of the presence of shield hitlag, you will backwards roll. If inputted during shield hitlag, you will first input a C-Stick measure of SDI away from your opponent. The frame immediately after, you will input an analog stick length of SDI towards your opponent. Since a full analog stick SDI input is longer than a C-Stick input, you will have net movement towards your opponent while in shield hitlag. The net gain is large enough to allow In Shield SDIing over the ledge, which is useful in anti-planking situations. This can be used as a safety option if one is unsure if they are going to be hit on shield because rolling away from your opponent is generally safer than rolling into your opponent.

Manipulating the analog stick towards your opponent while in shield hitlag and tapping down on the C-Stick creates the effect of ISSDI inputs towards the opponent and immediately buffering spot dodge. If done in shield hitlag for a multi hit move, it's possible to actually use the early (and usually weaker) hitboxes your opponent does on shield while side stepping the last (and usually strongest knockback) hit box, increasing spacing and frame advantage.

wonder if this is any good for Ike.. would Ike's traction make this pointless or would this let him grab stuff he couldn't grab before? Also sucks that our rolls are terrible though.

I'm not home till night today :/

ya know what, both you and jam give me a time and day and i'll make sure it goes down then and there.

Anytime after 7pm+ today

 

[san.]

Shield SDI is decent, good after a dash. It's hard to do on purpose, because as you already acknowledged, we do not want to roll, or even option select a roll.

Edit: at least, not often.

I asked kprime I think around a year ago whether or not we can just DI regularly in shield for a small push, and I think he said no.

 

[Ussi]

Well i think I figured out how to deal with those ISDDI ICs and just always read their roll ahahaha

nair in front of their shield, jab or dash attack their roll

 

[san.]

Against ICs, it's easier to just fair spam, since they can't really do much other than try to get a good dash+powershield. Nair and jab if you want to be more risky at the cost of killing them much quicker.


It's not too difficult to camp platforms vs ICs, too, since fair's downward angle hitbox can hit them when they try to uair (if they jump too high)

 

[Senliten]

ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff, fine. Stick will be replaced with a Port of Awesome Destruction.
Thankfully I am up now, means i can get the last two rooms cleaned and be home free until thursday , and 7

No, this is the world telling you to learn how to play keyboard.

In other news, I'm thinking of developing more of my tech skill before Apex. Any super fancy Ike tricks anyone wants to divulge? /inb4therearentany
