Ike Video Thread (Critiques Welcome!)

Going low and offstage to edgegaurd is not usually advisable as Ike. It makes you have to upB which cap and most all charachters can mess with

Truth be told, I don't see any way I could have recovered and caught him off guard.

RAGNELLFEST: All-Ike Tournament

Finals
Vanguard vs CRITTER

I know I played like ****, I was kinda sick so I was off my game, but regarding this MU... In this scenario, was there any way to avoid those stocks I lost? Any proper DI? (1:25 and 1:35)

So, is it just me or is VoiD not that knowledgeable in this matchup? I got fairly close Game 1 to the point I think he made a lot of mistakes in the match.

Naturally, I did too, but this match felt a LOT closer than it should have been.

You didn't really play the MU too bad for someone who didn't know it. You figured out that Eruption is the edgeguard tool against Roy since he has a very small window to stall his recovery before he HAS to Up-B. A lot of his kills on you towards the end was him reading your recoveries and rolls, so you gotta mix those up more a bit.

General MU advice: don't approach. This is one of the very few MU's where Ike can't be camped out, and Roy's approach options are punishable. If he goes for an aerial you can just sit in shield and grab or D-tilt depending on spacing, and if he dashes in you can jab or grab. Roy's foxtrot is very long, so he has to commit to any dash before he can throw up a shield. If he's in your face, just throw out a jab. His comes out at frame 5 and ours is frame 4, so you'll win a jab war unless your spacing is off. Pivot grabs, F-tilts, and retreating aerials will pretty much snuff out anything Roy can do to you. If you're in neutral, do lots of empty hops. The moment you throw out anything Roy can dash in pretty quickly and go ham. Also keep in mind that he has the same piece of crap D-Air that we have, so he's very prone to juggling just like us. If you space your U-Airs right and read air-dodges/ jumps, there's nothing he can do.

I hope this can provide a fresh outlook on the Rosalina matchup.

Amazing montage here. It must be posted to Smashboards, so I felt obligated to do so. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9p3sGwL5-_U

Here is a little montage I made about Ike. It isn't much, but if you like it you should check out some other videos on my channel I made for other fighters! I'm open to critiques and suggestions, as well as new subscribers!
