It seems to be that many threads focus on Ike's metagame versus, say, MK, Snake, Falco, or others that pose a big problem. Personally, I find Olimar's small size and long hitboxes fairly irritating, but that's beside my point.
I think, that when played properly, Marth is one of Ike's greatest roadblocks to greatness. His DB interrupts any of Ike's attempts at combos, and his dolphin slash can interrupt a jab combo. His grab outranges Ike's, and Marth players generally rely on grab games heavily. Also, with his counter being a few frames faster than Ike's, marth is formidible when you are the one chasing him. As Ike is a character where you rely on cornering the opponent, whether in terms of spacing or forcing them to make a mistake, Marth poses a big barrier in Ike's usual metagame.
My friend that I brawl most often mains Marth, and so I created this thread in hopes that people who main Ike (a fact which I hope would be obvious by now) could offer advice for battling a good Marth.
Thanks in advance for any help!
