Help against Ike? Lol. This is one of the most predictable characters. Even if it's a great Ike player, it still shouldn't be that hard. Just get them off the stage, they have a really easy to gimp recovery. It'll either be quick draw or aether, as soon as Ike touches the sword in aether you can knock him out of it with a well placed shuffle loop. As for quick draw, just hover infront of him and take the hit. He'll go into a fall special without getting any horizontal movement.

Toon Links usually have some sort of pattern, intentionally or not (let's face it, the best ones are semi/full on campy). Find out what their patterns are, find out what they do when you get in close (it's probably gonna be usmash if they're attacking, maybe a spot dodge or a even a roll to get away to camp some more). It's tough, but after you get their play style down somewhat, you can be a bit more aggressive and disrupt it a bit. The bad ones get sloppy at this point, the good players are gonna be tough and you might not even recognize a pattern or even disrupt them. There's always going to be some sort of pattern, and watch out for that boomerang.

I've never faced a good Lucario lol. There's some out there definitely but I've never faced any, so I can't help.

Anyways, goodluck =P

Ike will be easy, just be aggressive and don't let him get any distance on you and he'll most likely be screwed. Watch out for his counter though, but don't worry too much as it's not nearly as good as Marth's.

Toon Link is tough, I find it very difficult to gimp his recovery because of his UpB and projectiles. Try to outrange him while still being close to him. MT can eat up his arrows and Boomerang usually, but don't be too crazy with it because you will be punished.

Lucario can be tough depending on your opponent. Do not underestimate his range and watch out for DT and AS. MT will eat up uncharged AS's, but don't pay much mind to that since it won't really matter. Lucario will become frighteningly dangerous to MK as he gets damaged, so kill him off as soon as possible by gimping his recovery. However, watch out for his range again; Lucario is VERY floaty so he'll have ample time to fight back with his own aerials. He may even try to ReverseDT, so look out for that as well. Once you get Lucario to a certain point off-stage, he'll be forced to use his UpB. You can deal with this easily by a simple edgehog or (somewhat riskier/difficult) you can intercept his Extremespeed with an aerial (Dair will probably work best). However, depending on the stage and player, he may attempt to wallcling or land on the stage, so be ready to let go of the ledge to deal the final blow/relaunch.

lucario's return is not offensive, so edgehog the crap out of him.

Ike- very predictable, dont approach him CLOSELY until after his attack, since his ending lag is horrible, it seems like you might be playing ike noobs who will probably spam side b, so i would just shield or double jump.

Lucario- don't let him charge up his aura sphere and edgeguard him like a B*** and watch out for those dairs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1FWMDj_wys m2k played very well against azen, and note how he edgeguards using ledgehop nairs

TL-probably your hardest matchup, but you still have the upper hand the biggest mistake is to let him camp DO NOT LET HIM CAMP. be on his *** the whole **** game. watch out for his bairs, it has some decepting range, and watch out for his fsmash also, those 2 hits are lethal
