Ike Boards General/Q&A Thread

[Flayl]

Hey guys, please submit your tournament results to this thread. Any placing or tournament size will do as long as it has an entry fee.

To submit, please include
- Link to tournament results
- Link to tournament ruleset and entry fee
- Your gaming handle if it's not immediately obvious
- Characters used (no characters higher than E tier may apply)

The more results I get the more accurate the list will be. This is also a way to power-rank the players of your character.

edit: BEFORE YOU SPEND TIME GATHERING YOUR RESULTS: I'm not using tournaments that occured before August. It's simply too much work.

 

[theeboredone]

First of all, you're from Portugal, and second, just by looking at your results, it shows Bowser at first. Basically puts up question marks about what's going on over there if it's clashing with our own normal results.

 

[Flayl]

So what you're saying is you're too much of a moron to look at the data and prefer to immediately make baseless accusations.

Cool story bro.

 

[theeboredone]

I did look at your data. I just don't see this as reliable data as of now. If anything, it's more disturbing not to see any of the upper tiers anywhere on that list.

Edit: Unless your intention is to specify how the LOW TIERS do in Normal tournaments, then yes that's my fault. However, when I read "NORMAL TOURNAMENTS" I assume the list to have every single character. Considering the fact how you have a few lines down "LOW TIERS", any person can get confused over what the hell you're talking about. Yes the thread title is named "Low Tiers + Lowest Mid Tiers", but you should still write up some kind of intro rather than having people expect to know what it is. To me, it just looked like some tournament result list.

2nd Edit: I take back my comment on saying "You're from Portugal", but that doesn't change the fact that you need to flesh out your thread to be more detailed and specific. See our Ike Bi-Weekly thread for an example.

Hey people. Haven't posted in a while, but now that I'm back at college I'll probably be browsing Smashboards a lot more.

Just wanted to say that I'm considering dropping Ike as a main. I'm going to be trying to learn Ice Climbers now, so I kind of want to really focus on them because they're so **** hard, lol. And no, I'm not switching to them because of "lolgrab=instawin". I've always thought that they were interesting ever since Melee.

Another reason is because I feel like they are one of the ONLY characters in Brawl that actually reflect how much work you put into them. Sure, you can get good with a lot of characters, but unless you have that "certain something" you can only go so far. I just think that if I put the same amount of practice into my Ice Climbers as much as I did with my Marth and Ike, I could place SO much higher in tournaments.

Also, I'm still going to use Ike a whole lot. I'll most likely use him as a secondary, like if someone tries to CP me to a geigh IC stage or whatever. Plus, he's still going to be my main for teams regardless.

Besides what I've posted above, the reason for me to switch mains is because I feel like the only thing going for me with Ike right now is people without matchup experience, and my Marth just doesn't seem reliable enough. With my Marth, sometimes its completely flawless without letting hardly any opening for my opponent to get in, and other times it just gets nearly 3-stocked.

So... Yeah.... Well, there it is. <_<

Why are you here? IC boards are this way.

 

[AN(M)ist]

BBR discussion on every character boards....... did this happen every time tier list was rediscussed?

 

[Yamato Hong]

It's great to see Ike's discussion from the BBR finally released in public. ^-^

In another week or two, the rest of low tier should be finished! ^-^

 

[Foodies]

BBR discussion on every character boards....... did this happen every time tier list was rediscussed?

BBR discussions have happened, but in the past they haven't been released to the public. (from what I know at least)

 

[jamlosingthegame]

No wonder when I saw it I went: "When was this topic made? smh".

 

[Heartstring]

what? when did this happen? lord timezones mean i miss SO much

 

[Senliten]

The only Touhou songs I have/would listen to for smash would be these:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkgK8eUdpAo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYFJhjbKnZ0 (Maybe)

Other songs I would listen to would be fight music and RPG themes.

Before you ask, no I'm not a Touhou fan (though the games do look fun to play. Who doesn't want to see their screen filled with bullets and lasers that kill you in one hit?). I go to another forum which has a couple of members who play it and have linked to some of the songs from the games

Also, another thing one of the Touhou fans linked: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFq2l0Z4LF8

Be funny to say I prefer some of the more prog/metal type arrangements and not the offical types (to slow for me and my playstyle).

You should really try it though as well, does wonders for concentration and hand/eye coordination when you apply yerself to something like brawl later on. Just instead of bullets it's projectile spam.

Did you also say somethin bout fight music =P

That's cold, man.

cwutididthar?

 

[Heartstring]

icy wut you did thar
^

 

[Teh Brettster]

ICs wat u did thar

You know, I feel really stupid.
I just thought I had this amazing idea.
And then I realized it should be the first thing anyone thinks at all.

I was like... "Man, maybe I should watch a lot of matches of different characters to get a better feel of how they work when I want to learn the match-up well." And then I was like... "Dang, I should have been doing that since I started playing."

 

[san.]

Don't worry Brett. Good thing videos only show so much =/

 

[Heartstring]

i tend to watch a lot of brawl vidoes, but its actually realyl rarely with an ike involved, i just watch it for a good game,
and also to see habits and stuff which i can punish, thats if i watchnig someone from my scene anyway

 

[Teh Brettster]

Yeah, I suppose more often than not, they'll show player tendencies. Still seems like a good idea to watch them, though.

I mean, I still have no idea how Wolf works. I'm going to watch Wolf videos soon.

On another note, does anybody know if you get the extra knockback while charging a special move in the same way as charging a smash? I sort of doubt it, but I'm not really sure.

 

[Heartstring]

wolf? here

err, you mean like the damage the one charging the special takes?
i'll look into it, by that i mean im now about to go find out

also, as far as ike is concerned no, special charging doesn't effect anything

 

[Teh Brettster]

I mean if you get hit while charging, do you suffer greater knockback?

 

[Heartstring]

yeah just look up, i checked it

 

[Iofsauron]

Hey guys, sorry that took so long! I have finally finished unpacking, and finally have internet as of today. I will be on once again more often again, as I once had. I have officially settled into Franklin, NC if you all are wondering

[Heartstring]

[Iofsauron]

Actually, I can't drive xP

 

[theeboredone]

Jam, as far as the game goes...

[jamlosingthegame]

@GP: You could also rent a canoe and canoe across the Atlantic.

@Bored: I've also been linked to that xkcd comic that has that "You won The Game ticket".

 

[Mr. Doom]

Being hit while charging any type of smash attack produces 40% extra knock-back. I don't think being hit while charging a special attack is subjugated to the same rule.

Brett, you should've played Holms while you were housing us.

One more thing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_d01TcfR_0

 

[theeboredone]

If I ever become mod of the Ike boards, the first thing I'm gonna do is use my mod powers and have Mr. Doom and San face off in a rap battle. See? I'm a fun mod unlike the Canadian.

 

[A1lion835]

I was redirected here when I posted in the old MU topic inviting you guys over to the Kirby boards to help us with the discussion. Any help you guys could give us with the discussion would be great .

[-RedX-]

Any of you guys started classes yet?
I just started college last Thursday. I'm pretty comfortable with my schedule; 1 class on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and 2 classes on Wednesday and Friday. ;O

 

[san.]

4 classes Monday-Thursday, 3 classes Friday. Out of those classes, 1 lab on Tuesday, and 1 lab on Friday.
Didn't try going to college outside of NYC red-X?

 

[theeboredone]

[jamlosingthegame]

I haven't started classes yet, but I start next week. I really need to look into colleges more, still dunno where I wanna go =/. Senior year might be a bit hectic because of that. Any good colleges out there with great math courses or anything in physics that I might be interested in? And I might have to take the SAT again since my scores were 1740 and 1680. Unless taking the ACT will benefit me more.

@Bored: A rap battle between Mr. Doom and San? I'd pay to see that.

 

[Mr. Doom]

Too bad I don't rap.

Spoiler

Fight, fight, fight as hard as you can,
But you can't beat me; I'm Mr. Doom, man.

 

[Ussi]

i have 2 classs TTH, 1 MW, and 1 online class. Then 1 physics lab.

 

[theeboredone]

Oooohhhh Mr. Doom, no he didn't. San gotta make a comeback.

 

[Heartstring]
