anyone who went to e4all, does using ike's side b in the air cause him to go in free-fall animation?

Ike's side B move seems to be better for recovery than Aether, except when you are under the stage. Still when you are under the stage it doesn't look like Aether lets you grab the edge when you are using it. I may have to do more research on this, but I haven't seen anyone successfully recover using Aether yet.

Ike's recovery is similar to Luigi's, as he has to use his side+B to get back on the stage, as Aether covers no horizontal distance(again, think Luigi). Im wondering how much horizontal distance will be covered with his side+B, if its similar to Fox's side+B in distance traveled and what not.

It looks like it goes maybe a little bit more than CF side B but with more DI.
I'm just curious on how quick this move starts up (if anyone who attended e4all is reading this). I heard almost all of his moves had tremendous start up lag, but after seeing some videos where this move was preformed, it looked fairly quick. Just wondering if this is true or is there indeed invisible lag before this move as well?

Gosh, I was really hoping for Ike to be good in this game. He has almost no recovery and really laggy moves though...

We don't know whats happening with Ike, his side b is a good fast move though, and it covers a fair amount of horizontal distance. If people jump out while Ike is using his side b to recover, they'll get spiked hard.
edit: here's a good video of Ike using his side b to recover.

Though Aether is good for doing some damage, his Side-B is better for doing damage and recovery. Just like Captain Falcons Side-B is good for recovery. If you're close to the edge.

I've seen someone reconer using aether. you have to be exactly under the edge to save your self.

ike looks alright in brawl but he doesn't have strong moves!!!

That, or a fair amount amount of super armor frames. That being said, I'm looking forward to playing as Ike, hehe.

What I want to see is someone jumping to stop ike while he does his Side B to see if he can do it again like some people have claimed.

Yeah, but it also tends to **** you over if you hit the edge or a character and go into free fall.

I guess sending people flying at low percentages with a swing of his sword doesn't count as strong to you.

The Ranger critical was fun and everything, but the charge up time was a little long for the knockback it had. But Eruption and the armor breaker were beautiful. But I digress, Horizontally, the critical is the way to go.

Falcons screwed you over like that... but that is the Beauty of Ike's >B.... after hitting a character in the air.. it spikes them (evidently.. haven't been shown that yet) then he can use it again (as i have heard). Also ... Ike's >B lets him grab the edge if you can make it to the edge... MAGIC if you ask me

Yeah, I hate using Captain Falcons side b to recover, but Ike's is seeming to be better.

lol you shouldnt use it at all... his downb + extrajump + upb is way better

Yeah, hopefully they fix his up B move since it has bad recovery though.

If they fix one thing and one thing only... i would prefer they make him a little faster over the better up B...
Just my opinion.. i prefer speed to recovery

people who were there said he can side B - jump - up B for an amazing recovery...
so no... he doesn't go into free fall animation...

someone who went to E for All said you can sideB > jump > upB

So long as your Side B hits someone that will work.
You can also Side B - Jump - Side B if you hit an opponent.

Thanks for clearing that up...

questions have been answered
i think ike goes free fall regardless of whether he hits anyone, but maybe thats not correct *shrug*
anyways, the topic is basically over, theres enough discussion of ike's side b going on
