Well, obviously it's ridiculously easy if you're playing Ikes with little skill (and I would say the majority of Ike users are in this category). Edgeguarding is not easy when the Ike knows how to defend against a gimpy Marth. I may be a Marth fan, but I'm not oblivious to Ike's potential either.
You make it sound so easy. Of course, I wouldn't expect any sympathy for Ike on these boards.
But in all honesty, Marth mains are not giving Ike enough credit. I suggest fighting at least one good Ike and then report that the match was a piece of cake. I think there's at least a few over on the Ike boards who are decent. Kirk's a great Ike user from what I've seen.
I have nothing but respect for M2K, as he is one of the best SSBM players in the world, but maybe he's not the best Ike player. Perhaps fighting a dedicated Ike main would be a better option. Like I mentioned above, Kirk's an excellent Ike user. Haven't fought him myself, but he's generally accepted as one of the best Ikes around. He would be sure to provide a decent challenge, unlike other Ikes here.I ***** Mew2King's Ike several times and he refuses to money match me in that match-up.
Be less predictable. There's nothing that me (or anyone else for that matter) can say that'd be an easy answer for you. He's probably beating you because you're making stupid decisions that keep getting punished over and over. Especially if it's Ike vs. Marth...
Hm, I think Hostility plays a pretty good Ike also.
Who's that? More importantly, where does he live? Real-life tournaments only if you're going to say he's good, btw.
I wouldn't say so. He's defeated Azen before.
Marth has an advantage over Ike, but the match up is not completely in his favor. I'd say about 60-40. Good Ikes would know how to play their game wisely and not use his laggy moves all that much. It's quite amazing how Marth mains cannot tolerate even the mere mention of an Ike having a chance beating Marth. Give the Ike boards a read. You'll find several informative and objective views about how Ike stands 1 vs 1 against Marth. I hope at least one of you will find it as enlightening as I did. Being a Marth main is fantastic, but even I have to accept that lower tiered characters stand a chance against him.
Yes, he did well a long time ago. Back in March/April. That's how long ago.
he lives in concord, I play him a lot, and yeah, he does have a very good Ike. He doesn't main ike (who would? LOL) but trust me, its good, he's no online only RoK the Reaper type of Ike. I wouldn't say its on an Azen or NEO level though. even with hostility's ike, it still gets trampled by my marth. ike is easilly one of marths easiest match ups, why is this debate even going on still? Andrew, I don't know if you know this, but Inui knows his ****, stop questioning him
