Ike: Championship Calibur Character or A Noob Buster?

[mikeb2010]

Ok guys. Ive been thinkin about this for a long time. I realize that Ike in my opinion is truly not a natural Championship Calibur Character. Basically, I see that when it comes to the characters that end up on top in tournaments, there's probably a 7% chance that you will see Ike in the Top 3-5. Y is this? This is because Ike is a character that is used primarily to separate the skilled players from the noob players. Because the gap between winning and losing with Ike at the noob level is completely different from the pro-player level, i have come to the conclusion that Ike is a character that can be used to get far and possibly win in tournaments, but his primary reason for being on Super Smash Brothers Brawl is to prove which players are bad, good or great. What do you guys think?


P.S.: I believe that Ike, Marth, Roy and Sorren should be in the next Super Smash Bros. (if there is gonna be a "next" one). Also it would be cool if Ryu Hayabusa was in the next one too. The super Ninja Hayabusa would **** anyone who crosses his path! Opinions???

Ah, I get it...4 posts..

Makes perfect sense...

 

[mikeb2010]

Haha. Funny.

 

[Kinzer]

I am not sure, it depends on the person, really. I find myself to be an above-average Ike, but that is after a couple practice sessons.

Silven, you never fail to amuse me. XP

The reason you're not seeing Ike win tournaments is because *gasp!* he's not that great a character. Don't get me wrong, I like Ike; while he's nowhere near my main, I do enjoy playing him from time to time. He's just not in the same ballpark as the high/top tier characters.

 

[Rykoshet]

Saying that, I would assume that your icon next to your name isn't your main either, right?

I love you.

 

[Rykoshet]

I'm willing to take a lot of crap but from a ness player? C'mon now.

What if that was Gimpyfish saying that, with a Ness icon?

Well, then we'd all laugh with him.

 

[Rykoshet]

I don't question his knowledge, but I also don't think he's super pwnsome at brawl either. Call me a cynic I guess, I just think there's more to being a great brawl player than spending 90% of your time talking about how much it sucks.

Wouldn't a Ness player know quite a bit about not-so-great characters?

Also, when I said that "he's nowhere near my main," I meant that I don't play him nearly as much as my main(s); when I re-read my prior post, it seemed a bit ambiguous.

edit/disclaimer: I make no claims whatsoever about my Brawl ability; it just doesn't exactly take M2K to know that Ike isn't anywhere near as good as Snake or MK.

Touche....

 

[Falconv1.0]

Touche....

Well we just got owned. I'm gonna go point at you and laugh like you were somehow the bigger fool and run with the rest of my nuts still intact.

 

[Rykoshet]

Oh hell no, you're going down with the ship.

 

[Falconv1.0]

Oh hell no, you're going down with the ship.

**** the ship, I steal the life raft and blow the **** ship up with some kind of improvised explosive.

 

[Rykoshet]

When the **** did you become macguyver.

 

[luigiluck]

ike is odd for anyone because he is powerful

 

[DireklianCliff]

Also it would be cool if Ryu Hayabusa was in the next one too. The super Ninja Hayabusa would **** anyone who crosses his path! Opinions???

No. Just no.

 

[mikeb2010]

Y not Hayabusa? He is just too cool to be in 2 video games.

You're too ******** to realize this, but you're an idiot.

 

[mikeb2010]

Ur so stupid, you dont even realize that spelled idiot right.

 

[Falconv1.0]

Ur so stupid, you dont even realize that spelled idiot right.

Oh God that was beyond pathetic. >.<

And Rykosheet, I dont need to be Macguyver when I wield a punch that makes things explode from pure AWESOME.

(But seriously my friend taught me some funny **** with explosives. )

 

[Kodachrome]

I don't...understand? *explodes*

Oh, I get it now. Simply needed some creative punctuation inserts to make sense.

*ahem* anyways now that that's outta the way...

I still wish there was a rep counter in this forum still(there used to be one ...) I'd be +rep'ing for so much win in this thread...

 

[CyanCyde]

Time to point and laugh at Cyan!

Not three days after I state that Ike isn't a great character, my little brother, an Ike main, gives me hell with his Ike. My Falco and my Ness didn't have a problem, but pretty much everybody else (including the two-four characters I'm learning) had all sorts of problems, roffle.

I'd say Ike is mainly a noob character, but he can be used as an amazing tournament top-tier character. I use Ike and found that you have to dig very deep to find some of his great assets. He's one of the characters everyone thinks they are good with, but very few know his true strengths.

 

[Deleted member]

What if that was Gimpyfish saying that, with a Ness icon?

I'd still make fun of him. Gimpyfish is pretty active for Brawl, but he doesn't know everything. Less e-***** would help everyone.

Ike is a good character.

Wouldn't a Ness player know quite a bit about not-so-great characters?

No, they would know about Ness. And if nothing has changed from Melee, they wouldn't even know **** about Ness for that matter. 90% of Ness players are painfully stupid, don't be one of them.

 

[null55]

Awesome. Awesome. Is this really what it was like with the Roy boards?

I should do a scientific experiment with this sh*t...

O RLY. Didn't your mother ever teach you to share?

Then how come he hasn't won any noteworthy tournaments?

Ike is a good character.

Not compared to Snake or MK. That was my entire point, but you were too busy lighting your flamethrower to notice. Way to go!

No, they would know about Ness. And if nothing has changed from Melee, they wouldn't even know **** about Ness for that matter. 90% of Ness players are painfully stupid, don't be one of them.

Whoa. That was totally unnecessary. I've never even played Melee, so lumping me in with that crowd doesn't work on multiple levels. In fact, I barely even post on the Ness boards; I've seen too many people crying about the release grab. At any rate, feel free to bash on my Brawl skills, experience, or whatever lights your flames, but don't insult my intelligence; I've done nothing to deserve that.
