He's in the lower half of the tier I think, although, a complete tier list is not made yet...

The only thing that keeps Ike from being bottom tier is his above-average weight, plethora of KO moves, and moderate range. Outside that, everything else about Ike is unfavorable towards (at least) half the roster. I'd say he's higher on the low tier list, MAYBE low middle.

For all intents and purposes just assume he's bottom tier. What an ike can or cant function around is somewhat debatable but this crap has been beaten into the ground about a billion times and it is deeply affected by who you play how you play and where you play (offline or online).
He's a "slow character with no projectile", therefore he's not high tier.

I'd say he can make it into mid, his nair is great, jab is great, his ko potential is amazing, he has good moves, he's just not amazing.

There is no tier list yet. You can discuss one under "Brawl Tactical discussion" > "Official Tier discussion" but it's filled with idiots.
Anyway, I don't see how this really matters, the metagame will evolve quite a bit still, so it really doesn't mean anything atm.

Lower mid tier. If he had a better recovery and less lag in some of his attacks then he'd be borderline high I think.

Because obviously we all take your opinion in higher regard over others. Right.

It doesn't matter how high you take his opinion this discussion is pretty pointless.

mostly everyone who takes parts of tier list discussions underestimates Ike and puts him low tier. I really stopped caring about his tier list. I will use him till the end. Besides, winning with a lower tier character gives more satisfaction. Just bearing with the fact your character is so much limited compared to the higher chars is difficult at times.
But Ike will not be higher than mid. I highly doubt he can make mid.

I would say lower-mid tier by guessing, however it is the Ike player him/herself and the opponent's skill level that will sometimes determine the outcome.
Let's say for example ONLY Samus is lower on the tier list than Ike, wather this is true or not I don't know/con't really care, you can fight two different Samus' under the same conditions and you mgiht lose to one and win against another.

Well, I've seen some mock tier lists. There's been some that say he's in the middle of middle tier. Some put him at low middle. Other's low. Never bottom though. I just know that he will be in the lower half. He's still a good character though, but not amazing.

I hope you mean that he doesn't have a projectile by that, 'cause his range with the sword is massive.
^This is the truth^

For Ike I'd say mid-tier at highest. but I will guess he'll be low-mid. Similar to Roy's positioning, maybe a bit better.
I don't get it. On the boards, I'm usually hearing Mid-tier, at best. Low, usually. But, whenever anyone actually loses a match, outside of tourny, Ike is considered to be one of the best characters in the game. After every match, you'll hear something like "you only won cuz you're Ike" or "You lost, even as Ike! HAHA" Things like that. Why the disparity?
Also, my opinion is that Ike hits Mid-High. If we say there's 5 ranks, 5 at best, he's in 4. Cuz he has so much melee range, KO power, and IASA frames. His lack of speed and projectiles is a disadvantage, to be sure, but still. He's not awful.

*sigh* I wish this thread would just die already.
the people you fight are noobs who have yet to realize that pressing L causes your character to shield. Simple as that no ifs ands or buts about it.
Also he has barely any IASA frames or at least not enough. He doesn't actually lack speed and the projectile has nothing to do with it look at Marth. It is his move set that is to slow.
