OoS Options for Ike

[JB_G.O.A.T.]

Ike kind of suffers from a defensive standpoint in this game and doesnt have any real OoS options other than grab. anyone come up with any creative/janky things to do out of shield? I personally like to use d-air OoS but if i dont get the spike hit box to bounce them up or the weak knockback hitbox at the tip of the blade(allows for a free grab) its not safe. any ideas?

Ike has one of the worst OoS games in the cast. Nair can be okay, but it's only really a good option if the opponent is above you. Otherwise, WD OoS and sometimes a roll/jump would be your best bets. As for jank stuff, Counter OoS is a popular one, and QD can work occasionally OoS as well.

From testing in the lab, shielddrop NAir (from fall-through platforms only) seems amazing if you can pull it off consistently. Other than that, I'd either resort to BAir OoS if they're behind you or more conventional options like wavedash or roll. Ike's OoS options are pretty bad, so the best thing you can do is try to not put yourself in that position.

Nope.

Nothing. Ike's out of shield options are garbage and quite possibly the worst in the ENTIRE game. the aerials which look like they can be used out of shield aren't even good for that. Nair and Bair are 7. Ike has like a 4-5 frame jump so that's like a 12 frame startup or something. Not good. Not only that but Nair starts above and behind him so yeah. And Bair wiffs on like half the cast if done on the way up during a shorthop so whatever.

Just be like me and never shield then get bopped for being too aggressive. If you get stuck in your shield, I feel bad for you, son.

But for real what metroid said. I've been practicing shield drop Nair from platforms and it's super sexy. Just hard to do consistently.

If you want something REALLY janky I've been jumping away from my opponent OoS, then using eruption and b-reversing it back into their face. If you manage to get some good momentum away from your opponent (which can be tricky holding the stick far enough to get good distance on a shield jump and not rolling) usually the opponent will chase after you.

Then boom. Eruption to the dome, *****.
