grrr dam you sakurai!

 

[ShoDan]

he has a cold
whyyyy god whyyyyy

 

[teh_nuke]

I swear... I dont know what I swear yet but it is something bad... if they dont have an update by 6am. I want sleep

 

[Wiwiweb]

This is it ! NEW CHALLENGER ! IKE !

(Yay, first to see the update)

 

[MDZ]

HOLY CRAP IT'S IKE. Gg Marth? Or two strikingly similar characters in one game..? Or maybe Roy? o_O

 

[teh_nuke]

HOLLY CRAP!!!! WORTH TEH WAIT!! ZOMG!!

OKay Im done. WOOT IKE!... now Im done. and uhh, time to go to bed now.

 

[Wiwiweb]

He has an attack who can do a "a single-stroke finishing blow"... Sounds like Roy for me.
Maybe Roy won't come back. He was a clone after all.

 

[Katy Parry]

I know! I'll main him & Zelda.

 

[-Dark-Marth-]

Holy Crap!
Nice!
im soo happy I stood up!!!!

 

[Mckillyou]

AWESOME.

I honestly didn't think any new characters would be revealed before they put all the veteran character and already announced character profiles up!

 

[Gargomon251]

NOTE: It's pronounced "IKE" not "E.K." I checked.

 

[Dr.Mario84]

Hmm, Ike shown before any other Fire Emblem character?

Fishy, I would figure Marth to be shown first. But, perhaps Marth might be abandon as there will be strict consideration of no Japan-only characters.

Also, did anyone take notice at the icon number? It's number is 12, which nearly flaws the past idea of an order in the icon system as someone once stated, if any of you recall.

Either that, or the Game & Watch series is being removed from Brawl.

 

[Dantarion]

I think the Ike is probably going to be, either a Marth/Roy clone...

Or perhaps, a roy clone based on strength instead of speed, and we might get some other FE swordsman that is speed based.

I for one, like the idea of clones, as long as the clones are actually different enough and both have obvious strengths over the other.

Think Capn Faclon and Ganon, not Pikachu/Pichu

 

[Pegasus Knight]

Regarding Ike's addition to Brawl: YEHS!

 

[MarsBitrona]

Well that was unexpected. I didn't expect new characters before they even covered Meta-Knight. He might even get away with being anything but a Marth clone, as that two-handed sword makes things interesting (and he does hold it with two hands in one of the screens). If nothing else, the forward smash should be slower and less broken than Marth's from Melee.

 

[Johnknight1]

omfg we got Ike! Ike!

Ha, I totally saw a newcomer happening! Ha, except I thought it would be Sonic. Ahh well, all you fools can rid of your Ike for Brawl banners, and support Wnd Waker Link!

 

[Johnknight1]

double post, my bad.

 

[Wiwiweb]

Well that was unexpected. I didn't expect new characters before they even covered Meta-Knight.

(Incredible what you can find by typing "mindgames" on Google Image)

 

[Johnknight1]

^^^^ LOL. Sakurai is better than expected at mindgames, he tops God even. God envys his mindgame powers! Next to kill off the wants [to be real additions]...Diddy "f***ing" Kong! YIPEE!

 

[GaryCXJk]

I believe Sakurai references to the single blow attack as Aether, due to the nature of Aether in the games.

However, it is inconsistent with this design, because he could only learn Aether as a Lord.

But, **** this ****, it's freaking IKE!

Not Tina, but IKE!

Anyway, Aether could only be learned with an occult scroll.

What really makes Ike shine, though, is his Master Skill. You should
definitely save an Occult scroll for Ike, because Aether is one of the best
Skills in the entire game. With Aether, Ike can deal massive damage to his
enemy as well as heal himself. Combine that with his relatively good Defense
and he'll be very easy to keep alive. It's a good thing, seeing as how it's
Game Over if he buys the farm.

[Wiwiweb]

So you can only use this attack with an item... Who said Final Smash ?

 

[GaryCXJk]

Nope.

An Occult Scroll is a special scroll which allows for a character to learn a new ability, mostly ranging from extra healing features to new critical hit attacks.

Aether is one of those critical hitters.

 

[WestStar]

So Aether is probably his neutral B or something? A charge-up move similar to Marth/Roy?

 

[soaz]

i thik they should have made ike more detailed.Like they did with mario and link.He seems way to much melee looking to me.

 

[chiyo-chan' dad]

I did not see this coming at all, I was thinking it would be C.Falcon, but Ike, wow didn't see that coming.

 

[Sandy]

I really like the Fire Emblem characters, Ike looks great and I hope they keep Marth & Roy. Also, everyone now knows that the castle IS a Fire Emblem stage. Now if they would just confirm Falco!

 

[Engo]

Wasn't expecting this at all. Ike looks seems pretty neat but I still want Marth to return as well.

 

[Johnknight1]

HEHE, he's cel-shaded. More proof that WW Link can make it, assuming Pikachu, Dr. Wright, Samurai Goroh, Groudon, other Pokeball Pokemon, and of course Kirby weren't enough to prove it to you, lol!

 

[Link Sharingan]

he's not cel-shaded

 

[Sandy]

he's not cel-shaded

He looks normal.

 

[Nietendodude]

At least we know that they'll show some new charcters. I hope King Dedede next. Ike looks great can't wait to try him (I'm not a FE fan at all. Heck I never played the games).

 

[Lauf]

Man the detail on Ike is nicer compared to FE9 but his sword looks somewhat small for a 2 handed sword imo

 

[LeadPenguin]

Pikachu, Dr. Wright, Samurai Goroh, Groudon, other Pokeball Pokemon, and of course Kirby weren't enough to prove it to you, lol!

You know what cel shading *is*, and yet, you don't know what cel shading is.

LOL, indeed

 

[lanky_gunner]

yes we get a new character, and this is a good one. ike was one of my top choices for brawl, and he looks great. his sword will kick so much a** on the battlefield

 

[CBNJ]

Looks cool, I hope Roy stays out now, we don't need 3 people from FE.

On a side note, Sariku will be happy about having another man.

 

[the grim lizard]

Finally...stage update for the castle? I'm still wondering if the inside/outside are the same stage (I'm thinking they are) and how that will work exactly...

 

[bored]

He looks like a slow character IMO, but pretty powerful also.

 

[SpitFire15]

This was totally unexpected. I didn't think Sakurai would reveal any unlockable characters until around four or five weeks until the game's release date.

I hope Ike doesn't play like Marth.

 

[dan smith]

One of the other FE characters will almost certainly be out now. No?

Good update, he looks good, and maybe balanced. The Aether attack sounds interesting, even if it is an attack that he normally wouldn't have without special context. Look at Ness in SSB64 and SSBM, he has PK attacks that only Paula learns in Earthbound.

Oh, and I think a neat bonus to this update was the "Warning..." image. I bet that exact image shall be used in game for unlocking character announcements.

Man...now I'm anxious to see more characters...and surely tonights update with be lame after such an exceptional one.

 

[RyjinX]

WARNING INCOMING MARTH CLONE, jk hopefully not.
