My Ike

[0oolatinopoweroo0]

Ok, so looking back at some old replays I noticed this one.

I'd like some criticism on what I should work on since in a few days I have to face a repetitive Olimar grabber in this online tourny I'm in. Thanks! for any advice =)

Here are some of my bad habits I'm trying to get rid of >.>

1. I try to dair them when I'm in the air =/
2. I like to end the match quick
3. and I love to use the bair since its so fast >

The bair is quite allright really. I use dair a lot defensively as well, though not too close to the stage. I would advice to cut back on the fsmash. I also noticed that you often use your dash attack to approach, this can be used against Cpt. Falcon (cuz he lacks any way to couter it), but try using the tip of the attack. So you use it's range the best.

Also, you don't use your jab. Start using it to defend yourself instead of fsmash.

Alright thanks I'll start using the jab more

My thoughts about what you need to higher up your Ike:

1. Abuse the range of the F-air...
2. Neutral A more... http://smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=179229
3. Don't be afraid to shield, and don't forget to shield grab when doing so...
4. (for lulz) F-Smash the opposite direction where your opponent is. You may get an accidental dodge roll into you...

Thanks =)

btw, I'd like to know when using counter is a good idea in the air or more on the ground?
