What's your favorite move Ike can do?
It can be based on it's effectiveness or style.
Personally my favorite is his B-Air, it looks amazing and I love using it as a kill move and edgeguarding!

The frame-perfect Quickdraw OHKO (which can now hit Game & Watch and Jiggs, by the way).

I saw that in the patch notes! Honestly didn't know it wasn't working on them.
Quickdraw should be my favorite move because of it's uses. But B-air tho...

Raise the Roof UTilt. Ike is just flexing on fools with that move.

I'm probably going to be the only scrub saying this, but Dsmash is my favorite. It's not versatile or anything, but it can punish sidesteps and rolls. Surprisingly enough, if you use the first hit at a decently high percent, you can QD and follow up real fast since most people are still wondering why tf they're flying backwards. It can also kill at moderately low percents by the edge since people don't think to DI a down-smash.

Also, while this is not really too viable, it's hilarious when you're in a tense neutral game and you walk two paces backward instead and use the first hit the wrong way, and as they think to close in and punish, slap them with the second hit (which comes out surprisingly quick but idk frame difference).

Lately I've been feeling D-Smash. It has such weird KB to it, comes out quick enough, and no one ever really sees it coming so their DI is usually off. Not particularly a "useful" move, but a lot more useful than people think it is.

D-Smash is probably my favorite smash Ike has honestly.
It's his quickest smash (If i'm not mistaken) and it kills at a pretty decent percentage.

I love dsmash for the wonky angle, that it can combo into the second hit and it's speed. However, I hate how ike leans the opposite way he swings, really shortens the range it covers compared to like ftilt.

QD>Charged Upsmash tech chase. Making a hard read from across the stage is always fun. t is tied with Wall Jump Fair edgeguards.

Ikecopter (Upair). Especially the giant sweetspot sound when you've hit with the later portion of the hitbox.

Killing with that sweetspot is the most satisfying thing ever.

Quickdraw. Great mixups.

Can jump, wavedash, grab, upsmash, pivot grab, Walljump, RAR right out of it. It's a great move.

Fair and Fsmash, two of the most satisfying moves that Ike has.

Ike's best poking move, which is his F-tilt. Comes out pretty fast, has some solid range, damage, and knockback. You can also angle it upward or downward for edgeguarding/shieldpoking.
