I don't think that's the problem. Tomahawk grabs are an essential part of Ike's gameplan. And you can't expect your opponent to respect you all the time while you're in the air. A decent opponent will just shield dash / grab you as soon as he sees an opening like for instance missed spacing or...

Since landing Dair behind a shielding opponent is a pretty good approach option, I wondered if you can SDI through your opponent while using this move to compensate for eventual wrong positioning. Anyone know of this is possible?

After jab 1 I immediately hold down the control stick and wait for visual confirmation. As soon as he transitions into crouching mode I press A for dtilt. That's the most consistent way for me to pull it off. I usually use c stick for tilts but in this case I always go for control stick + A...

You made me fight for my friends. Now make me win for my friends. One. Last. Time.

How exactly does pivot-fireball and -bair look like and what's the execution? I could only think of B reversal fireballs and retreating bairs or RAR. But those are all aerial options. Pivot refers to grounded options only AFAIK.

I just recently noticed once more how much online slows down my play with Ike… and I like to play him fast. It was shocking. I'm beginning to notice it carrying over to my offline play more and more. It's been already mentioned how online can develop bad habits in terms of decision making. But...

Maybe some of you could share your thoughts and critique on these matches. What the hell went wrong for Ryo's Ike?

I imagine hitting grounded opponents with fast falling bairs is going to be harder with special set to c stick. And Bayo really needs to land those.

Thought I'd share this one with you guys. Don't remember we ever got to see those two guys fighting. I wonder how Ryo didn't trade with Link's recovery at 1:35. Don't know the exact hitboxes of that upB but it seems the bair hit Link right when Link's hitbox switched sides. Is it even...

Thanks a ton man. Highly insightful stuff. Dat Bair hitbox is bigger than I thought.

I've considered making a thread about this for a while. I find n-air with c-stick to be very useful since it allows me to affect my momentum. It does also make retreating n-air much more easier and more comfortable to pull off, especially when running towards your opponent right before jumping.

Does this tech only work with Up-B and USmash? What about Ike? Since his USmash is too slow to be thrown OoS and his Up-B being highly unsafe and mainly for recovery, what options does he have? Am I right in assuming that jumping OoS into one of his aerials would be the only good choice next to...

Thanks man. I didn't know never versions of Dolphin support UPnP. Traversal works like a charm. Portforwarding isn't even necessary anymore. Unfortunately, I have another issue to consult. Minor older revisions of Dolphin such as 7161 and below don't seem to render Brawl and PM at a complete...

First off, thanks a ton for this guide! My concern refers to the PM 3.5 guide. Unfortunately there's no discussion section, so I decided to bring my thoughts and questions to this table here, since they should apply to this guide as well. Hope that's ok. Sorry if I sound a bit frustrated...
