I would give myself a 3.5.
Heck I just went to my first smash weekly on Saturday, I was demolished but at least I put up a fight. I still have a lot to work on. But for the most part I saw the kind of competitors that I'm going to be up against in the future and how to better myself.

I would give myself a 3. He's really strong but he is waayyy too slow with his attacks.

not really I meant as silven being a 9 and kirk a 9.5 guess I just worded it wrong though.

Sure you are, then I'm pro with all the rest of characters in smash. Seriously, thats too bold a statement you made there.

What are you talkin bout? Kirk is not better than Silven.
Yeah, sure.

5.5/10. Just average.
And I don't think Ike is cheap. Yeah, he has some killer moves at really low damage (Fsmash,etc) but those are extremely easy to dodge and punish. It's all about how much you can hit with Ike, without getting punished as much.

I would rate my Ike 6.5, I'm pretty good with him but haven't played as him in a while.
Kirk

Just watch me make a 'combo' video and become an instant idol >.>
No offense to those who have made them, but they do have that kind of affect on some people xD

me too I'm gana make another acount called welikekirk and start the kirk fan club whos with me!?
I really wonder why comboking thinks kirk isn't even close to silven? He said before he doesn't have wifi so that means he hasn't fought either of them at silvens last uploaded fight was 2 months

Not so bad. Just have to work on mindgames a bit more and being less predictable. 7/10, probably.

Still haven't seen a lot of video who really abuse the jab cancel like I do... I wish I could show what I can do, but I don't even know how to do them video things... Please PM me a shopping list (let it not be internet shopping though)

My Ike would probably be around a 4.5/10. I can't really judge my skill level too good, because WiFi's not so good at that, and level 9's don't do that either... I just know I need to improve on spot dodging, and approaching. Spacing's there for me though. I still have a lot of room to grow though.

Not dead.
O.o ehhh... It seems I've misread the OP. I thought it said "Rate Ike" but now I see it says "Rate your Ike." Please ignore my post as it doesn't belong here.
2/10
The reason why I say this is because like so many other slow characters he depend on his opponent to make mistakes in order to win.
He can't combo because of how much knock back he has on all of his moves, he's unable to effectively follow up anything including his throws, and he has poor approaches.
Ike strength lies in his defensive play but because of his speed and lack of projectiles he can be easily force to approach.
Now because of Ike size and speed most Ike’s will travel toward their opponent by jumping but doing so make Ike very predictable. This predictability puts his opponent on the defensive even more in favor to knock Ike away or proceed to combo him once he enter range.
Mix all of this with his poor recovery and you got yourself 2/10 score.
The only reason why he’s not 1/10 is because no one can play flawlessly so Ike can score a couple of good hits which usually means death.

I'll put myself as....8/10.
I've placed top 10 in several SoCal tourneys, and that was before I started playing how I do now (Better. ;P).
I'm a strict non-WiFi Ike, btw. There's some videos of me up on youtube, but they're pretty old. Once I get back home (I'm out of country atm) I can use the new camcorder I got (It can do live-feed from TVs) I can record some friendlies/tourney matches.
Oh, and by the way, I think I'm good enough to be onpar with Silven and MAYBE (Stretching it here...) Kirk.
Kirk > Silven.

I think the fact that you guys are so hellbent on trying to prove which is the better of the 2 is ridiculous in of itself.

He's far from a difficult match-up for me, but whenever I face him, I know that my errors are a lot more fatal against him than most of the cast.
EDIT: Missed the "your." -_-
1/10. I got the basics down and I know how to space myself... but I suck hardcore with Ike anyway.

7 :\ I need to step my game up
Edit: ^ Ike has no tactics, just swing his sword. Seriously, that's most of brawl anyways, swing your sword/body/energy around with intelligence.

Ike has the Boost Toss, but that's pretty much it.
I thought I posted here a couple of months ago, but apparently I didn't. I think I'm a 7 or 7.5 now.

Old thread, but why not.
I would rate myself as a 4 or so out of 10.
My Ike is beyond noobish, but it can always be better.

9 with the missing 1 being a .5 worth of inconsistent DI and the other .5 being me letting my anger get to me.

10 (Perfection) minus:
-1 Offline match-up inexperience for a few members of the cast, mostly low tier.
-1 Poor SDI coupled with decent reaction time and DI means some things hit me that shouldn't have.
-.5 I sometimes use Down Smash and Counter.
-.5 Might occasionally forget to jab cancel and reverse Aether.
= 7 / 10, so basically "good but not fantastic".
It's not incorrigible, thankfully.

Sometimes I am very repetitive and I have not yet mastered DI completelly, and everyone knows how important DI is in brawl.

i should lose one point for not realizing this thread is old ~_~
Umm...I'd probably say 7/10 as well. I'm definitely better than your average Ike. However, I'm not too sure if I could win against a pro player, (Because I'm tournament deprived.) but I think that I can definitely put up a good fight against anyone I face. Overall though I'd say that I'm good, but I need improvement in some areas.

Anyway, the Ike boards are dead.
