Ike Boards General/Q&A Thread

[Senliten]

Lol, well it's not like we're SDing every match. In fact not often at all, and each time it's usually something dumb that never happens again like dropping from the ledge while accidentally inputting an Fair so you can't reach the ledge again with Aether. That one happened to me just at the Frag For Cancer tourney I went to, and all the TVs were HD with some input lag so I can kind of blame that (johns)... I ended up winning that match anyways though.

I really don't understand the whole HD lag stuff. Been playing standard and HD back and forth only to not really feel a change. Might I ask what the change between the two consists of?

On the character select screen, tap your control stick to see the delay in the response on the TV.

 

[Mr. Doom]

Bored, you said you SD'd in the past, so I'm sending you an invitation.

 

[Nidtendofreak]

I've SD'd so many times it's not even funny. Particularly in my first tournament: took me several times to learn that holding down while aethering to grab the ledge = bad.

 

[PltnmNgl]

Where can I get a file of Ike's sounds? I need them for a project?

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

@bored

Yeah, I usually have some music with me. No special playlist, just something to make sure I don't start to slack. I randomly let up when I'm playing for long amounts of time. Thanks for the tips! And lol @ #5.

Well, you'd probably be better off asking that here:

http://www.smashboards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=209

Somebody in the Ike boards may be able to get you that file, but we just play as Ike, we wouldn't all know how to get a file with his sound effects any more than you would.

 

[theeboredone]

So our initial driver had to bail out on us (school) for MLG. This kinda...sucks.

 

[Heartstring]

can't you all drive?
speaking of which, what age can you learn to drive in america/canada?

 

[Teh Brettster]

I actually think I'm not going to be able to go to MLG Dallas... and it's practically in my backyard.

 

[Heartstring]

why not man? college and stuff getting in the way or sumtin?

 

[Teh Brettster]

Yeah, I just forgot to plan for it + I'm not sure exactly how much extra money I have to go around right now.

 

[Heartstring]

hmm, saving tiem!

 

[jamlosingthegame]

FF dair -.-

Deep inside, me and Nys are loling.

I remember I Nair SD'd last bi-weekly =/ And that's after I've told myself never tap A near the edge.

@GP: I don't drive yet (and I probably should start to learn) but I'm sure minimum driving age around here in NY is 16, but that's only for a permit.

 

[theeboredone]

We don't all have a car at my college. It's mostly walking and buses we use to get around.

 

[Heartstring]

hmm, same as here then.
couldnt you like borow a parents car or something? or are they not that trusting?

 

[theeboredone]

I'm 3 hours away from home. MLG Dallas is near my home lol.

 

[Heartstring]

if its only 3 hours-ish cant trains-buses work?

 

[-RedX-]

Pretty sure any kind of public transportation is horrible.
Except in NYC. <3 MTA.

 

[theeboredone]

This isn't the UK. Trains?!

 

[global-wolf]

Happy belated birthday Red-X!

Can I join the SD club? Half the time I try to recover on FD on wifi I aether into the bottom, or I just don't grab the ledge. And I SD so much with Pikachu it's not funny

 

[Foodies]

I would like to join too~ I SD like once every five matches. It's pretty bad.

Spoiler

Accidentally not autosweetspotting DS against Ike counts as a SD ok metroid.

 

[jamlosingthegame]

<3 MTA.

QFT. It gets crowded on the buses I take though so I barely get a seat when I go home. Doesn't matter anyway since I fall asleep if I sit.

Also: http://kewl.bz/364
I would like that job.

 

[_Kadaj_]

What exactly is this CQDC thing I am hearing about? Anyone?

Speed.

Ike boards.

wat.

 

[Espy Rose]

Don't worry, Colaya, he said the same thing to the Ganon boards.
Yep.

 

[Ussi]

What you guys think of the damahe ratio being changed to 1.1? It basically adds more knockback to moves and seems to get rid of many CGs and other thing...

Wonder how it affects f/bthrow > dash attack

 

[Mr. Doom]

Basically they want us to do Target Test, Home-Run Contest, Multi-Man Brawl, and the like. Someone else can do it, thank you.

Edit: Oh, and the damage ratio being changed to 1.1? I don't even bother unless it's SSB64, Bob-ombs only on Very High, vs LV9 CPUs, Hyrule Castle, and 200% damage. That's the quickest way to rack up SD's.

Is that a rule that might be considered?
That's...kinda interesting. ;o

 

[Ussi]

many people seem to be skeptical about it :/ i just wish it gets a chance cause i've been wanting it since the idea first poped up

 

[san.]

It's been talked about on and off for almost 2 years now. I wouldn't mind, but I never really played using that change before. Not many attacks in the game has properties that abuse 1.1 unlike .9 (and even 1.0 lol).

 

[Ussi]

i really just want more hitstun in aether >_>;

And more hitstun jab :O!

 

[san.]

It's harder to get out of aether, making it useful for mixups with platforms. The puffball characters shouldn't worry too much, though. Jab hasn't really changed too much, it feels like you're jabbing a character of lighter weight. Bthrow->dash attack I'm not sure works as well, although I've gotten a few off. Dthrow sends people to the top platform on battlefield at low %, giving an easy up air.

Not much different overall, except some of our attacks kill a bit earlier. Tilts are better than before, also.

I might as well record and upload my target test crap I did months ago, seeing as there's nothing for Ike yet and you guys don't seem interested. What I like about the target tests is that it's way more about finding the right strategy than just being fast with your inputs.

As for this 1.1 damage ratio talk... I dunno, if it had been implemented very early on it might have stuck and been the standard, but people have been playing without it for so long now that the vast majority of players will be loath to change.

I'd be inclined to agree with you, but as time goes on I only see more and more people becoming dissatisfied with Brawl. D: The only real reason I still go to tournaments and stuff is because of the community... Been considering quitting for quite a while now, but I just keep coming back... -.-

I've been wanting some sort of change for a while now... And the switch to a 1.1 damage ratio may be just the thing I need. Its sounds like an interesting and refreshing idea, at least.

 

[san.]

Too bad hardly anything changes at all. You won't notice much at all unless you actively search for it.

Colaya, I think that "more and more people" is just you, lol.

 

[theeboredone]

Ren talked to me about this last night about the 1.1. I think he's one of the people responsible for suggesting this idea, and he told me a lot of neat things that can happen. For example, MK's nado can be DI'ed out of, Shiek's F-tilt lock doesn't work, and CGs are limited or don't work, I forgot which. Ren told me Ike's jab cancel isn't that effective though, but it would be interesting to see how it would work out. If anything, I would to see it used as a side event for now.

In the words of Homer Simpson: Brawl- is the cause of, and solution to all of life's problems. Particularly, the problem of getting bored with Brawl but still feeling inclined to play something similar.

 

[Espy Rose]

Hmmm, that gets me wondering how Sonic's spin dash setups would work.
I'm sure plenty of them would become null if the knockback is increased.
