Smash Ace
Because this is Zelda Match-up thread, so we discuss strategies as ZeldaAre we done with this now? I'd say it's pretty clear Zelda's got a MUCH tougher time with this matchup than shiek so why bother with Zelda?.
Din's Fire keeps Ike off the edge
Zelda punish game is like ROB with D-smash, just shield, spot-dodge -----------> D-smash
QD you can just edgehog even if you don't have invincibility frames if he's too low, it won't kill you until high percents and you can always tech, if he's high Up-air or Up-smash will catch him and kill him around 80 % and 120 % respectively
With aether, place a well-timed edgehog as Sonic said , Din's for extra damage, D-smash to kill, When he is in the above animation of Aether, Up-smash will catch him and take him out of it
Nayru's Love is great for taking Ike off you
You can camp him
Most of his attacks don't push you too far when shielded so shield-grab is an option, for jab DI back to avoid the final hit, (the one with knockback)
Also when edgeguarding anyone, don't try to Lightning kick people, go to LK the ledge :3 it works
Back on Ike, just go to a ledge, shield and he'll slip while doing an aerial, that means super early deads for Ike since he feels to heavy, his aerials have long execution time, so cannot cancel them until the animation is over and when thje animation is over he'll be unable to recover
And also i was playing a match today and i got sent off flying off stage, I didn't move because i wanted to tech on the floor, but since i saw i was almost running out of time, so i tried to tech on the ledge lol anyway zelda's animation where she grabs the ledge didn't happen, just the animation when you get up from a tech, but i mean, i didn't even know if she grabed the ledge, and also add that zelda got a good distance from the ledge 0_0 i mean no ledge-grabbing animation when off-stage, no tech animation, no slammming on the floor animation, some distance away from the ledge, just stand-up animation ( with this i mean the last last last stand-up animation) all of this instantly, maybe faster than MK D-smash 0_0 explain, i wanted to save the replay but it was 3:02 ;_;
Edit : Any recommended stages for Ike?? Personally i think Luigi's Mansion is great :3
Also we're moving onto the third match-up : Zero **** Samus 0_0
Edit 2 : You can continue discussing about Ike But i need to make a summary of Marth -_- *sucks at making summaries* If someone would be king enough to do one it would be appreciated if not, i guess i'll do it -_-
