The gameplay itself was good, but as a video it was too repetitive; there were too many clips of Reverse Aetherspikes. I would've liked to see more than just edgeguards.

I lol'd at the opening clip XD.

It's not bad, just you only showed edge guarding. Granted I'll say I liked the video, but you should show some good damage building strategies that worked. But I learned the true power of reverse aethering now ;O


Oh and that opening is win.

I like the vid. I can tell from it that you are a very good Ike. But... there wasn't anything in the vid that wowed me. Not even the opening (although it was humorous) . All you really showed is how deadly Ike can be when he's edgeguarding, which is good of course. I'll have to incorperate reverse Aether more into my edgeguarding. Haven't been using it much.

But, give us some more variety, and give us something to Wow us. I don't particularly blame you on that though. We've recently been spoiled from Rykoshet's combo video, lol.

EDIT: Oh, and your music was AWESOME. Best I've listened to in any Ike combo video so far.

Yeah people said it already.

Unfortunately, I got bored about half way through...and that's not a good thing when it's a 4 minute video :/

I didn't think it was too good, and I thought the players fell for stupid things, he also always went for the dair spike, so they probably expect it :/

For people who want cliff notes for the video:

Reverse Aether -> grab edge -> dair off the edge -> Aether -> grab edge -> dair off the edge -> opponent's death.

Next transition

Reverse Aether -> grab edge -> dair off the edge -> Aether -> grab edge -> dair off the edge -> opponent's death.

Next transition

Reverse Aether -> grab edge -> dair off the edge -> Aether -> grab edge -> dair off the edge -> opponent's death.


I can't say you're a bad Ike by watching this, Thor, but I can't say you're a good one either. You need more variety, NOT just because it's more entertaining, but because it showcases how you utilize Ike. I love how Ryko once told me that Ike players aren't carbon-copies of each other (except for our staple move: jabs) and that Ike requires us to be versatile. Versatility = an unpredictable, yet effective, playstyle. Keep working, Thor... and make us wow at your next video ;o.
