Have you ever even stopped to think that Ike is more than he meets the eye?
First off, yeah. Ike's attacks are slow. But that doesn't mean those slow moves are necessarily bad. Ike still has tremendous power with large hitboxes, and if you can use them effectively, they can give you a good edge and some early KOs. And it's not like all his attacks are slow. He has some good fast ones, too.
Second, his recovery is pretty bad. IF you don't know how to use them. He's like Luigi in SSBM. You either recover completely vertically or completely horizontally. Ike can cover a lot of vertical distance with his Side B. And if you can aim his Up B right, with the hyper armor attached, he basically gets a good vertical recovery that's hard to interrupt.
And third... Wait, that's it. That's all the primary things almost everyone complains about.
Here's a protip: EVERYONE NEEDS TIME AND DEDICATION TO MASTER A CHARACTER. Just because a character is or can potentially be low/bottom tier doesn't mean they'll always be bad. In fact, beating high tiers with low tiers is all in all way more satisfying. It shows how much skill and dedication you put in to winning. Just look at other fighting games. A good Chipp can beat Eddie. And even a REALLY good Dan can take out someone like Sentinel.
So don't go on saying "BAWWWWWWWWW IKE IS TOO SLOW AND HE'S GONNA SUCK" or "rofl Ike's gonna be bottom tier cus he sux." It's just getting annoying. In fact, I'm gonna main Ike just you piss off your kind of people.
