Ike... Too popular?

Actually, Ken has been playing a bit of Brawl.
And yes, his main according to him is also Ike. He said Marth's too cheap/overpowered in Brawl so he switched.
The clan that I am in for all games is full of Marth users, and what not.

What does that have to do with this topic at all?

Most Ike clans are full of noobs, and they will not stand a chance at being good with ike, so, yes, but only for a while.

Ok? You have no idea how good my friends are so don't talk about that unless you just want to sound ignorant. Also, i make useless topics? This is the first one I've made ever. It may seem useless to you but him being this popular is kinda gay but then again he is really flashy and what could you expect? Now please go castrate your self.
because if you think they're "good enough to be in the competitive scene," but for some reason they aren't, it's cause they aren't good enough and you just want an excuse to lose to them
namely, "they're competitive level of course i lose!1"
i wouldn't be wrong if i said all the topics you have ever made are useless
if you're worried about ike being popular, go pick another character

To get back on subject, I really think there will be a large amount of Ike users in the beginning. Then, after two or three weeks, people will flock to a different character to use. This at least is the case in Japan from what I have experienced, but it may be completely different once the US version has been out for a month or so...

Nothing makes someone stop playing a character faster than completely crushing them in a ditto match. One of my friends picked up diddy and was doing well with him, so I picked diddy and beat him 5 matches in a row. Now he plays pit...

I agree he is very very popular
But he is one of the best characters in the game if used properly

He might not be one of the best (I hope he is though), however, he has a lot of potential, especially if we find some way to l-cancel. Rght now he's pretty good, he can utilize a few attacks that have little lag (like the Bair) to use him well. It all depends on how the metagame develops. Another plus from having a lot of people playing him is that we will discover combos and metagame for Ike faster because more people play him.

Its a step in the right direction. In all my wifi matches I do my best to play a campy pit or ike so as to discourage the enemy. The players that choose to persevere and try and get better regardless, are the only people worth playing. Crushing noobs is a hollow victory with all of the lag and problems associated with wifi, but if it takes the fun out of the game for them there will be less people crowding up the servers and less interest in Brawl in general. Hopefully, Nintendo will work on making a better sequel if sales stop doing as well.
You may view this as being a **** or something, but it is the closest I get to having fun while playing brawl.

Because Ike is popular other people are now thinking he's cheap character but that's just my school mates. But oh well, i use Ike none the less.

I kinda like the fact that a lot of people are playing my favorite character. It sort of encourages you to practice more so you can say you are one of the elite Ike players out of the mess of them.

Yeah, it does seem Ike has received a lot of attention, but not much you can do about it.

Just thought I'd pop in and mention that kirk didn't "switch" to Ike, he started as him. Note that he's only got Ike video's on his youtube channel.
Sure a lot of people are Ike now, but weren't there just as many foxes/falcos in melee? I don't see the big deal. =/
