Check the stickies.....

EDIT: The MK-Ike Match-up is heavily in MK's favor. Read the match-up thread.

Depends who the Ike is, and how nooby you are.. :p

The matchup is in your favor, however a better opponent will still be able to beat you. :lick:

If you're playing Metaknight, there's no guaranteed win for anybody (except a guaranteed win for you on some occasions.)

On beginner level Ike really can be a pain.

So 2 general tips against Ike:
a) Take no risks, dont run into his attacks - his attacks are slow, so you should use the time window after he missed.
b) This time window you often should use for throws. Throws are a pain for Ike. He cannot shield or counter them - and if you get him in the air, it is generally easier for you.
