Surprising how inactive the Ike forum is considering he is a really popular character, that is about to change though I bet.

So I'm guessing Ike got nerfed a little for 2.5?

I wish I were good at maining more than one character at a time, otherwise I would still actively practice/use this guy =/.

Soooo.... Did anyone find any good Ike combos in 2.5 so far?
I think people are just being quiet because he was a reasonably-explored character in Demo 2.1. He has all of is 2.1 combos, but in addition to that, he can FThrow/BThrow -> DACUS (only works on certain characters/percents and isn't a true combo, but it's close to one) and reverse NAir -> DACUS (certain characters/percents but is a true combo).

Forgive my n00bness, but what does DACUS stand for?

Is there a surefire way to know you did the dash cancel grab besides the extra distance? How many methods are there to do it concerning button inputs (C-stick? A?)

Thank you sir, I believe I will now go and practice this move
This isn't really about Ike, but DACUS also works for the following characters (In Project M):

Snake, Marth, Lucas, G&W, Wario, ROB, Jigglypuff, Falco, Wolf, and Ganondorf (Strict timing with him)

Make sure to use it sparingly to not become predictable with it, however. And one tip to help you use DACUS is to set the R Button to Attack. Assuming you use L button to roll/tech and don't use the R button for anything else, that is.

Okay Carroll, it's starting to look kind of gross: do I just put it inside a bunch of collapse tags with warnings?

I think could have chosen a funnier background

Thanks guys
No Apex, I'll be going to SCSYN though. I want to wear some sort of Ike cosplay at it, like his bandanna: currently no clue on how I'ma make it. Also I may be playing some Diddy since he's broken (confirmed by Leffen on the IE stream), that might make people confused why I'm wearing a bandanna albeit.

The last time I photoshopped Strong Bad (to be 9 feet tall and have a monkey mask) he didn't give me consent to post it =(
