I’ve chose the Kirby vs. Ike matchup as our next discussion topic in reason that it was already discussed exhaustively at “The NEW new Kirby Matchup Thread” and the metagame doesn’t seem to have changed much since then. This discussion should be a breeze, especially for Mr. Doom. For I was the only Ike mainer present at the Kirby Boards Matchup Discussion, I recommend you all to check it out ([LINK] from post 1279 to 1368). Throughout the discussion, a consensus between the Kirby Community’s debaters and me wasn’t reached. But some conclusions were formed. Summarizing the discussion, it has come down to this:
The Kirby players believe their OoS prowess would be enough to guarantee advantage over Ike on stage, while their capacity to gimp would further its overall advantage even more.
For myself, while I do agree that Ike’s recovery is quite fragile before Kirby, I believe that the disjointed nature of Ike’s attacks (while taking in consideration both characters mobility as well) makes him less susceptible to Kirby’s OoS responses and allows him to zone Kirby. Thus making this matchup advantageous to Ike for as long as he is on stage.
What do you guys think?
