I hope to, but from the looks of his moves they have to much lag time before the move actually strikes. but if sakurai changes that then im all for ike. But, either way i want to use him.

I don't think i'm going to main Ike, even though he does look awesome, and i am definitely gonna try him out, i'm gonna try out ALL the new characters out, and any others with new moves, but, i'm a Pit guy ^^ i have been since they first announce him as a playable character :)

Well, it certainly depends on if Ike is getting a boost by February 10th. I mean, I wouldn't really want to main an utterly unplayable character.

I'll try him out, and I'm gonna either love him, or hate him :p

Bah, whatever, I'm freakin' maining Ike no matter what! Marth was my boy! Hey, you--yeah, you--you say any of that "broken" crap that nerds have hit me with, I'll stuff your sister's lipstick up your left nostril!

Now... None of the players are gonna be "unplayable." Simple as that. They're takin' extra time to ensure the game's made right. Ike's gonna be as balanced as everyone. And I know he's gonna be my Marth fix... well, probably more of a Roy fix, but whatever, close enough.

Sure it's balance. If Ike's slow as molasses, he's got to pack some serious punch. That's balance. If he was both slow and weak, that would not be balance. If he was fast and powerful, that would not be balance either. One pro per con. One con per pro. However you look at it. All I'm sayin' is... if you can use 'im, he'll work. If a character ain't balanced, how can people use him?

Ike is balanced, I saw him hit a Link who had 13% which Ike killed him in one shot. (I think it was his side B or something.) He moved across the stage horizontally spinning or something, I dunno, ask Ike mainers.

If he spun the sword over his head and slashed down, that's his f-smash. If he shot across the stage really fast it must have been a fully charged side b. ^_^
Ike's Fsmash does not make him spin his sword, but he does raise it over his head in a barbarian type way.

I main Ike in E for All and killed everyone I faced with him. So Ike is my new main, I don't know how to place him due to me not playing all of my fav. characters.

I prolly won't main or secondary him, but he is free for all worthy. It all depends on his speed, strength, and how he fights.

Same here. I destroyed my friend's Metaknight on a regular basis on 1v1 matches. Apparently you can make Ike flow he says, xD

I'll be semi-"dead" for a while after Fe
I like how you say that he "flows"
Form watching the vids, he seems to have weird patterns or canclable attacks or something. The same move looks different sometimes. Did you (Jalapeno/Viper) notice this at all? I think that flowing thing is just that. When Ike is in constant motion, he becomes effective. Almost like a moving defensive character. He waits for his chance but also attacks to create them. He doesn't move slow so the opponent has to be on guard, and the invincibility frames are actively trigering, he could be applied as one of those presuring slow characters. Like a Roy? hahaha

I'm going to pick some characters and perfect them, I'm either starting with Ike or Diddy though, then probably Mario or Meta Knight.

Ranger Critical looks epic though.

He won't be my main,(that goes to either my old main Pikachu or Pokemon Trainer) but he will be one of my many secondaries. And one of the most used ones, at that.

Bragging about a demo? Really, some people are just so immoral.
Who exactly did you people play up there?

Did any of you play Timmy, Tommy, Gimpyfish, Hugs, Neal, Lucky, Comp, Nick, Mike Haze etc.? Did you participate in the "seperate" tournament? I never seen anyone with Ike "destroy" anyone. A majority of the people there weren't even smash bros players, just there to test out the game.
Bragging about besting someone in a game they have never played doesn't mean anything.


But tell me who you were, I might have played you and didn't know. I played Fox most of the time.
