quick draw.

[neon..?]

Is quick draw really a real bad move? I'm not talking about recovery I'm talking about using it for spacing backwards and getting places faster when they're not in the stage and get an UpSmash. so no matter what they can't shield it.

I dunno. :/ I use it after stronger hits but thats it. My Ike is very awkward. Always short hop if you do.

Tips from better Ikes? Take it out of my game, leave it, etc?

As a recovery, it sucks. For spacing away from your opponent or getting near them, it's okay. If you use it too much than your opponent will punish you. It's okay from time to time but don't overuse it.

ok thanks and yeah i only use it once or twice a match.

actually its ikes fastest movement and when used correctlty it adds alot to his game but dont use it against projectiles without jumping first also quick draw> jabs is great

Not that great of a move IMO, it has some start-up lag, it is very punishable if the hit doesn't connect, and as a recovery is too predictable. Although I must admit when I use this on accident when my opponent is high in %age it actually gives me a breather if I am trying to push them away because it has nice knockback and can come out fast if used up close.

It can be alright for non-strike approaches since if the hit doesn't come out there is no lag at all and you can follow up with a jab combo or the Grand Viper technique (utilt, although I have scored a kill using a ftilt before), not really recommanded for this with a projectile game though. I guess if you also do it right you can turn this into a mindgame to make your opponent think you will come out with the initial strike but instead follow up with something entirely different if you come up short on the dash.

Except when you get sent vertically or get sent diagonally down. Than neither QD or Aether can save you.

 

[neon..?]

lol yeah i hate that.

I tend to use Air QD for the sliding distance at the end to get a good F-tilt or U-Smash (Maybe F-Smash), but other than that, the usefulness isn't really there unless the opponent is ******** with spot dodging.

 

[Nidtendofreak]

I use QD to run across the stage if I've hit an opponent far away. That way, I won't trip on my way there. >_>. I might throw it out there on rare occasions against big opponents at higher %s (Bowser, Etc) in the air, but I don't think thats a wise thing to do. Just a bad habit more then anything.

quick draw> jabs is great

there is this thing called a "shield grab" that removes any chance i have of saying that that works anymore...

you can make it hit by a grab --> bthrow --->QD...it the character isn't super floaty but i don't see much else from it...

Idk, Ive used QD for recovery, and make it back on the stage majority of the time.

I also like the sliding effect after using QD from air/SH -> QD.
