Is Ike really as horrible as I keep hearing he is?

[Nowaytoeatatater]

Among other things, people mainly complain about his speed. Just how slow is he?

He's as slow as a constipated Bowser in an Indian Matrix ripoff.

I have no doubt that you've heard Ike was horrible by reading a similar topic to the one you made -_-

According to Gimpyfish, Ike mainly suffers from slow movement and activation time for his attacks.

Ike mainly suffers from slow movement and activation time for his attacks.

That just summed up the general answer to this thread.
Good job.

Also, Ike also suffers from his recovery; his Up B special has absolutely no horizontal distance whatsoever.
Unless you do what this person does at 45 seconds on the left side of the screen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yo80FYEzExA

I don't know how often that can be pulled off, either.
