Ike Boards General/Q&A Thread

[jamlosingthegame]

lol so a lot were bought but many were barely used. I'll gladly have an old Wii for the sake of hacking it for Brawl. But I still would need the money to buy it, unless someone just lets me have one.


EDIT: I just remembered the dream I had about 2 hours ago. It was something like a zombie invasion and experimental biological weapons. Like something out of Resident Evil. But I saw a lot of spiders. And right before, the world was ending and there was like meteors or something that made the surface dangerous so people escaped into subways and stuff.

Ok I just finished reading the Entire structure for Ike thread. O_O My eyes hurt but I think I got all the basics and staples for Ike. Lemme tell you, theres alot of stuff to read about Ike.... >_>

 

[Ussi]

lots of what i wrote (mental aspect of brawl) are general and can be used for any character, but I did try to give Ike examples (Or will have to add that in later during winter break)

 

[Slaps]

so i was in AiB free play, i found this person to play that wasn't very good and had a lot of lag but said they didnt feel it, after 3 stocking their ganon with D3 by chaingrab on halberd this is what they said "Yeah now I see the delay, because D3 shouldn't be getting that much grabs off." LMAO XD

 

[Ussi]

hope you said "Welcome to brawl kid"

yeah you tend to find this, ive tried maining a good few characters now and you come to learn that theres are loads of little things that make each character very unique, ike is probably one of the simpler character to use in terms of things like tricks, mobility, etc.

 

[OmegaZeroX]

So uh...Now that I read all that stuff...What should I do next? :|

 

[Ussi]

apply it in real matches. eventually it'll become 2nd nature



So I took my ACS exam, and when i opened it, someone wrote in it before and so I had the answers to some questions on it.. lol.. wonder if it helped or hurt me.

Sounds like a scrub to me XD

another thing you might want to get the hang on is doing a 'turnaround' jab, which basically involves turning around and jabbing without having anyo f the turnaround animation, easiest to do when you do spotdodge>tap slightly backward>jab. make sure to do the tap back bit during the end of the spotdodge, not after it. after you get better at this trying to do it from dropping your shielf and then from another jab (i.e: left jab, instant right jab) and then your pretty much sorted from jab shenangians

Damn...I'll try >.>

 

[jamlosingthegame]

Don't worry OmegaZeroX, with practice it becomes easier to do. Join in our bi-weeklies when we have them to get some more practice in the competitive setting. Actual tournaments and such (as long as it's not WiFi) would definitely be better. Oh and I like your sig. Kamina is a man full of gar.

 

[Heartstring]

yeah, theres probably osme kind of video demonstration on youtube, most likely be a guy called mr.doom whos done it.
also yes, being in california (i think thats what CA stands for) theres shoud be a fair few tournaments about, go have a look in your local regional zone!

 

[OmegaZeroX]

@jamlosingthegame-Bi-weeklies? Where do I go for that? Also I've tried looking for some Brawl tournaments...Sadly no luck.

Is there a way I can post vids of me playing? something to like test my fighting?

 

[theeboredone]

Go to the regional zones (on main page of Smashboards, scroll down), find your region (California has plenty of tournaments, so I'm sure you can find something), and find your city or closest location. Ask in there. California is a bit weird, since not many West Coast people post on SWF.

If you can't do that, apply yourself to getting experience and learning on wifi. Preferably on all is brawl freeplay, ladder, tournies, etc.

There is a Ike video critique thread. Some requirements are that you be playing at your best in a very close game against someone. If you can't record your own matches, someone will happily do it (like me).

 

[OmegaZeroX]

Thanks Theeboredone!

 

[jamlosingthegame]

Here is the Bi-Weekly thread. We are going to do the PR so you're going to have to wait till the next one to join. Feel free to stop by for some friendlies though.

thats the california tournament thread...along with a few other states i think

 

[Blubolouis]

Also Olimar doesn't do well on Brinstar. The middle of the stage stops his grabs and Pikmin die in acid, I think.

sounds good.. better than norfair which I usually pick against oli. He does quite well on the 2nd form >.>

 

[Ussi]

you should just stick with rainbow cruise over frigate :D its a way better Ike stage~

But brinstar works too.. Norfair is usually banned lol.

 

[Aurorazoni]

Rainbow is a good Ike stage? How much has changed in the last year and a half?

 

[Ussi]

Its always been that way o.O

Just keep the positional advantage. Thats all that stage is. You just have to know how to exploit it. Its a prettygood nuetral stage to be honest.


Also, got a 53 out of 70 on the ACs exam, 2nd highest in my class but it is community college so take it witha grain of salt. I got an A so i'm happy.

i've got a video against biglou's luigi that I wanted to post there but I have no idea what to do with my replays besides that whole play them while theres a blank dvd in the wii trick

can someone tell me how I can get my replays on youtube?

 

[Tech-Nelium the Shark]

I can't find page for the percents where b throw>buffered dash attack % is a true combo, can anyone point me in the right direction

 

[Ussi]

its in the guide, under follow ups

I didn't know the blank dvd thing worked o.O
Anyway if you got a recording software(like dazzle)it would be no problem, or you can ask someone on SWF to upload it for you

thanks ussi

 

[Blubolouis]

RC isn't a cp in france, or at least it depends on the chosen ruleset . I'll try brinstar, I'm really bad on it but I know it's supposed to be a good stage for us.

 

[Ussi]

best to stick to stages you are comfortable on. Play friendlies on brinstar to learn it.

 

[san.]

Yes, finals are over. I think I did well on all of them except my last one, which was really hard and difficult. 6 questions, like 5 parts each, with many diagrams, explanations, etc.. I was not satisfied.


I stumbled on this manwha quite a few months ago, but finally decided to actually read it. It's very good imo. I thought it was going to be generic in the beginning but it turned out pretty amazing.

[jamlosingthegame]

Meh. I'm more into the slice-of-life stuff than anything supernatural, but I'll give this one a try.

So anyone have any holiday plans or something? I'm probably gonna go to some party my cousins throw and the whole family goes to followed by me staying home playing video games and what not.

 

[san.]

Probably find a job somewhere.

Slice of life is boring in general for me. Regular TV does it much better. 99% of comics have supernatural things in it lol.

 

[jamlosingthegame]

I just noticed my mistake after reading that. >_> What I meant to say is that I prefer more slice-of-life. I no longer watch regular TV though, especially since I got my own laptop and stuff.

 

[Heartstring]

to be honest, i always found brinstar to be a fairly average stage for us, then again i do have a large hatred for main stages which you can come through from the bottom

 

[Ussi]

you just have to play differently. It just takes time getting used too.

yeah, although i do like halberd for some reason...i dont know why XD

 

[jamlosingthegame]

Brinstar has slopes right? SDI -> tech them. My friend managed to do that and we were all like: "PRO TECH" The only problem I have with Brinstar is that when the lava/acid rises, you're forced to go to the higher platforms to avoid damage, and I hate being above my opponent above the stage.

well, as far as i know ike is immune to that, i know it works of norfair but not so sure on brinstar
theres this thnig ike can do, where if hes standing and the lava comes up he can counter>powerhsield>counter>powershield repeatedly untill the lava dissapears
havent tried it on brinstar though...

 

[Rangerike]

I beat Golden Sun Dark Dawn . I know I'm pretty late.

Took about 30+ hours lol, and I still missed one Djinn

 

[Ussi]

counter doesn't work on brinstar lava... i can't get it to work at least
