This thread will keep track on all Ike's normal moves. If you want info of his Special Moves, look here.
This is Ike. Obviously, Ike is strong. Very strong. Many of his moves have some delay, but it's paid off with powerful strikes and super armor frames here and there. His sword doesn't seem to have any special features (like sweespotting) at first sight.
