Ike Boards General/Q&A Thread

Better song

 

[Heartstring]

counter is jsut high risk high reward to the most extreme scale, although i had spent time trying to find a decent use for it...nah its jsut a fairly poor move, onyl for use if you know its going to hit, and with most characters having fast moves, its not gonig to be much good

 

[AN(M)ist]

Counter:
Competitive use - gimmicks and confident reads.
Casual use - anytime.

there you go.

 

[Nidtendofreak]

So, I'm slightly confident that the BBR might not be idiots when discussing Ike this time. So far, I've seen a small number of them say in other character topics that he should be mid tier.

I'll still flame the stupid ones though.

 

[Heartstring]

yeah that just about settles it, theres also the olimar gimmick but that really isnt going to work against someone with a brain cell

also i think ike should be mid tier, similar sort of placement to where he was in tier list 1.0, he could be higher for power but is just kept down by his lack of speed in most areas and generally being camp-fodder

 

[AN(M)ist]

@niddo: you mean stab them with a rusty butter knife...

so is there a fixed time for updating tierlist? tier list2 and 3 came out in the same year so i'm guessing it depends on the appropriateness of the list.

 

[Mr. Doom]

I thought it was a rusty pen knife.
The next tier list is expected to come out in September.

 

[Nidtendofreak]

Penknife it was. Though there won't be much left to stab once I put away the flamethower...might find a chunk of ash large enough to poke.

And current prediction is Sept. 20th.

 

[Heartstring]

woo new tier list, always fun to see the rage created by controversial placing (see: zelda)

 

[Rickerdy-doo-da-day]

I think the fact that Crow!'s E Tier ranking chart has Ike included in it is proof that Ike is obviously going to get into mid tier next tier list

He's doing better than Ness, Shiek, Bowser (LOL) and PT's that aren't Reflex
The first time I saw PT's curve I honestly thought it was Ike's

 

[Yamato Hong]

Are there even any notable Ikes in the BBR? ^-^

 

[Nidtendofreak]

Nope, though apparently M2K is not bad with Ike. Haven't seen videos of him with Ike forever though, last ones I saw he was still using lol Quickdraw.

And Rickery, that's just the data he has collected from the tournament results topic. While Inui is gone and thus part of the "Ike is bottom tier" crowd is diminished, I believe there are still those stupid people in the BBR. Thus needing my ACME Flamethrower 9001, and Rusty Pen Knife 2.0.

 

[Mr. Doom]

None of the notable people in the BBR main Ike.

 

[Nidtendofreak]

Indeed.

Also: Dang San, I think you've been mentioned in quite a number of MLG interviews, lol. I think it has been 4/5 interviews or something like that. I thought you weren't going to the next one though due to college johns.

 

[AN(M)ist]

c'mon, all characters in the brawl roster need to have atleast one notable fair-minded tourney player representing each of them in BBR, how else do you expect an accurate tier list?

btw, really looking forward for the new list.

 

[Slaps]

After playing M2K in LT teams at Whobo2 I would have to say his Ike is pretty decent. Nothing out of the ordinary special, pretty much the basics but he does play smart a lot and although he uses QD he hits it a lot to punish air dodge to ground from what i remember...

I have...connections.

 

[YagamiLight]

Consider this: Every tier list people mention that Ike has solid mid and low tier match-ups and is doing well representation-wise.

Consider this: Every tier list Ike has gone down by 1 or 2 spots without fail.

To be honest I would just prefer it if at this point they made bottom 3: Ike, Bowser and Ganondorf because then I would smile whenever I saw the tier list. We should get A2ZOMG into the BBR.

Beat Arc Rise Fantasia last night. Overall good game. Logged in 60 hours while doing a few additional quests. Still have to do the post dungeon though. I wish they had explored each character's background a bit more...it was kinda lacking.

In any case, here are some songs I liked from the game...I already put them on some stages for Brawl.

D; I expected this song to be a favorite:

And there was a part where Ignacy mentioned L'arc being half common race and divine race. But after that, it wasn't even brought up again. lol

Lmao @ Light.

 

[Ussi]

Bowser's movement to 2nd worse has already started, its only a matter of time now.

 

[Heartstring]

as for ikes in BBR they want more europeans in the BBR after the shock loss of ally in france so in september-when they sign us up-i shall be signing up to see if i make it in, i probably wont but might as well try. i jsut hope to god good typing is not a requirment

 

[Mr. Doom]

Good typing is a requirement. It looks like GP is out of the picture, now.

 

[Heartstring]

****, maybe i will have to actually take my time when typing my application
stupid fat fingers TT_TT

Eh, guitar rifts and theme is too predictable. Heard too many similar things.

You talking about Soren?
'Cauuse Soren's a dude..

I never thought about doing a DACUS to usmash+pickup nearby items.
Any thoughts on usefulness with Ike?

 

[Ussi]

usmash is too slow to really use too often

 

[san.]

Near the edge is fine to do it when the opponent is near the edge too.

 

[AN(M)ist]

lol, anime males sure get mistaken for females . i mean what would be the only difference between them? the eyebrows and the voice...and then some difference in body structure.

...and i'll never understand the urge to have funky hairstyles.

 

[DTK.L]

......I don't think they got anything mistaken on soren. >.>

 

[AN(M)ist]

This Pic

the one on the left. if that's soren; then his long hair, height and width sure say otherwise.

 

[global-wolf]

They both look like women.

 

[Foodies]

They both look creepy. Actually, I find dolls to be creepy in general. :/

 

[YagamiLight]

They both look like women except that Ike sort of looks like a Russian prostitute who went to the wrong booth at a Renaissance fair.

Not that I would know anything about Russian prostitutes and / or Renaissance fairs, though.
