But Ike can talk. And are you factoring in the power of friendship?
That's a bit critical of his physique.. Ike is already buff.
I hate that something like this can exist. I believe in character-competence equality :L
Hmmm... Nope. 
Don't play as Link = Friendship power increase
Ike is the easiest character to learn
Mario is the easiest by far bro.
Link can talk. "Hyaaaah, HYUT, Hiyaaaaaah!" We just don't understand him.
That moment when you realize that Ivysaur and Squirtle both talk more than Link
Basically what Shairn said. Aside from just being more powerful in general, and an incredibly annoying vertical recovery Ike has to work considerably harder than most Links'. It's also, fair for me to make the silly point that we both play Fire Emblem characters for our favorites, mine is not played that much in my opinion.
Am I right in thinking everyone has their pocket Marth/Roy?
A lot of people play one or the other. It also seems to me that a lot of wifi players that I play with have a Roy...
Roy is a bit too easy to learn then Melee, plus it's all about the Marth Dance
He might be easier to learn at lower levels, but at higher levels he is stupid hard to be good with.
Bowser is top tier in Mario Kart 8. You got it goin' on dude!
Learning and Mastering are two different things, Mastering any character is grueling and difficult. I simply mean learning his AT's, basic and complex concepts, and his play style/effectiveness.
That is true somewhat :S. I know though from personal experience that Ike was easy to learn, and people better then me complained about how "easy" he is.
Ike's Qd is what makes him a pretty technical character, because the move is so fast and can be jump cancelled. So then you can do things like qd into jc grab, or usmash. Along with classic wave dashes or just straight up attacks. You can also wall jump out of it for recovery. You also have to have precise timing with the qd cancellation and have to have appropriate spacing because of his sword sweet spot.
Not really technical, I mastered doing that in 1 week of playing as him (2nd week of actually playing the game), I mean I didn't use it as well as people like Metroid and Ally do.
Luigi is rushdown, it's called RAR Bair and wavedash > anything.
