Any projectile has the same effect, which makes Ike's horizontal recovery very fragile.

honestly, if an Ike commits to side b, I don't think we'd need that much help killing him. It's him standing still waiting to get hit/jumped at.
PK Fire and up-b always seemed like easy ike ledgeguards anyways.

I hate killing Ike, I feel like I'm depriving lady luck of a chance to roll the dice.

tisthemorning, that's only partially true.
Ike's side b interacts with hurtboxes (the things that can be hurt, usually characters), not hitboxes. Normal projectiles should hit him out of it. PK fire is fairly unique in that it has a hurtbox that ignites if it's damaged as well as if it's hitbox hits something. Basically, Ike's side b is registering a target and finishing the move without him getting hit and having a chance to do that again.
That said, there's a great way to gimp aether, too. You loop a pk thunder up and around his sword when it's spinning, and hit the ike on his way up. You'll hit him out of it horizontally towards the stage and stagespike him.

get the right angle, and yes.
