Ike's B over... Can you not purposely interrupt it at recovery?

[Hero C]

Unlike Fox's B over, which goes through people, once Ike hits his target, he drops. So characters with multiple jumps and low damage who manage to get Ike off stage... Can't they just jump in his path and get hit, allowing Ike to make contact, but fall after?

Unless he has DI after the fall, I don't think he'll be able to reach the ledge, plus you can get a free kill.

Anyone test this yet? I saw videos of the Reno crew playing, but Marth never attempted it, and Ike usually goes over Marth most of the time.

Perhaps he's like Falcon in that if he hits someone, he can make another move.

It's been tested.
If you hit someone with your frward b during recovery, you will die unless you are close enough to autograb the ledge.

 

[Taekmkm]

I'm thinking a counter-strategy if they go to intercept the Up-B, like DI the attack so it brings a spike like Kirby's Up-B.

Protip: Don't allow them to jump into the way.

 

[-Aether]

Good players will be doing this against Ike constantly. You'll have to get around it by playing smart with Smash-B.

 

[Hero C]

So no Aether after connecting? Sounds pretty bad.

 

[Hostility]

A friend of mine does this to me. You just have to be smart about getting back.
