Ike Boards General/Q&A Thread

[san.]

When someone says "He got wrecked/destroyed/beaten," a person whose loved one died in a car crash would take offense or a husband/wife in an abusive relationship.

I should probably look up how the word gay went from happy to homosexual. I've asked that question some times, but never looked for the answer myself.

So a drunk girl just knocked on my door. She had lost her phone and asked to use mine...which she couldn't even use so I had to dial it for her.

Honestly, I would close the door since I wouldn't want someone to steal my iphone like that.

The nose looks real

If a drunk girl could steal my phone, I'd have to give her major props.

She wouldn't even make it a few feet from your door, before either
A) Blowing Chunks
B) Tripping over herself
C) Ends up running the wrong way, into yer residence

Take yer pick, but every single one still screams, take advantage *eyerolls*

 

[theeboredone]

I'd never take advantage of a drunk girl...I just hate when someone smells of booze all over. It's disgusting.

 

[Teh Brettster]

Yeah, other people can have their moral standards. Mustafa just hates booze breath.

 

[Ussi]

I'll change what I said

I don't want to risk my phone getting dropped/broke.

About Ike's spacing...is Nair the best way to put some distance between Ike and his opponent?
What are some jab cancel combos?

 

[jamlosingthegame]

IIRC, a well-spaced Nair keeps us out of some grab ranges. As for jab combos, best one is jab1 > jab1. You could also try for jab1 > utilt/grab,/bair(?). Dunno much after that.

By your name, are you a girl?

@GP: Snowman Ike doing Eruption... Snowmanception.

Anything BUT nair (and jab) is good for putting distance between you and your opponent. Nair is good for setting up for combos and juggles


and jam, obv strawberrygoddess loves strawberry panties and just dedicated their name to the panty goddess.

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

Jam already going in. Preemptive strike.

Ussi finding the strangest way to reply to it. Followup.

 

[Ussi]

There are countless animes with strawberry panties.. and an anime/manga dedicated to it (strawberry 100%)

 

[jamlosingthegame]

Oh if you want a shot go ahead.

And with me prolly dealing the final blow XD

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

Ooh, laying off and pulling a Counter. But I won't fall for that, sir. I'll walk away while I still can.

And with me prolly dealing the final blow XD

The Triangle Attack is complete!

 

[Ussi]

Lets do it like we practiced! Lolicon triangle attack!

 

[Teh Brettster]

Aight, Strawberry. I'm so sorry. Maybe I shouldn't have told you to come in here...

 

[Ussi]

Its called sarcasm

Although I'm probably making a bad impression, so I'm sorry.

 

[XstrawberrygoddessX]

Aww..now I don't like my name srry I'm a sensitive person :\
@jamlosingthegame: thnx I'll try those out

 

[theeboredone]

Strawberry will be the next Tulat.

Are there any particular match ups you are concerned about or just asking in general?

 

[XstrawberrygoddessX]

^^^^
Well I always have a load of trouble spacing against Marth. He is always in my face ...well I guess that's how hes supposed to be though...

 

[Ussi]

I honestly was trying to say the most ridiculous thing i could thing about, and i just so happened to watch anime.. Anyone's name can get some crazy made up back story to it, just depends on your imagination.

Like jamlosingthegame has his name cause he lost the game cause he had no jam in his peanut butter sandwich and has forever been in spite since then.

Berserker swordsman likes yu-gi-oh but didn't want people to know, so he changed flamed swordsman to berserker swordsman.

Obvious both those scenerios are false

 

[Senliten]

A good marth will always keep a proper spacing, so that nothing but the tip of his sword, is all you will get. Also UAir juggles and off stage game is <3

If they are getting up in your face, shield and grab, then punish the weakling

good lord

Yeah, marth is a bit of a pain. if he's just sorta jumping at you and fair/nairing then do a retreating Fair for a free ~12%, or shield and grab if he's spacing badly

 

[Ussi]

When it comes to Marth vs Ike.. On ground, close up its Ike's zone, the outside jab range is Marths. In the air, close up is Marth's, and outside his aeril range is Ike's zone.

 

[Heartstring]

hey guys....more snow. i made more

Spoiler

 

[theeboredone]

ROB went on a diet.

 

[Ussi]

I'm more surprised it'd holding up without snapping

 

[Teh Brettster]

Supposed to be? NAW. Marth is supposed to be RIDING YOUR ****.

But yah, Marth is a butt. If he plays defensively, there's hardly anything we can do. If he plays offensively, you just have to read his movement and smack him, which can be difficult at times.

 

[XstrawberrygoddessX]

Thank You

Also, you know how Link uses DownB and Zair to stop himself from hitting the death border? Does Ike have any method of stopping himself. I usually do a Bair, but I doubt that does anything...I just got into the mechanics of Brawl and Melee so that's why I'm so lame with this stuff Maybe someday I might be able to compete at a tournament without being put to shame xD

 

[Ussi]

When sent to the side:

AD > jump
AD > QD

Only do that if you are gonna die otherwise.. cause it'll be hard to recover without a jump. Otherwise you just AD or aerial to get out of tumble.

If you getting sent up, then aerial + FF is the best choice.

 

[san.]

Marth MU is a little weird to learn since you have to use some moves a lot more. There are also a few spots to position aether to screw up Marth's upB if you both happen to be offstage.

 

[XstrawberrygoddessX]

I play online most of the time and find a lot of really good Links...any advice? And let's not forget the trolling son of a hedgehog Sonic

 

[Ussi]

bthrow > dash attack > spike/hit him out of his recovery

and learn the timing to powershield because that'll help you in all MUs

 

[XstrawberrygoddessX]

Thanks!!

 

[Ussi]

Just to note, if you can't powershield, you won't get far against anyone with projectiles. So really, get the muscle memory down for PSing.

 

[theeboredone]

Since you play wifi often, I would not be too concerned about power shielding, because the timing is so sensitive, it can throw off your timing depending on the connection or if you plan to eventually go offline.
