Hello, this is a thread designed to collect up-to-date info on Match-ups for the Ike boards, which is always in desperate need of good info.

I come to you today with a simple set of questions, attempting to get the "other side" of ideas pertaining to the Matchups against Ike. Its just a few simple questions I'm hoping to get answered;

1. What is your general opinion of Ike as a character?
2. What moves do you fear from Ike?
3. Which moves do not trouble you at all?
4. Which moves/techniques do you use against Ike to gain the advantage?
5. What specific edgeguards do you employ versus Ike?

Feel free to add anything else that doesn't fit into the questions criteria. The goal is to collect information, so anything s useful.

On a side note, I may feel the need to quote this info. If you don't wished to be quoted, please tell me in your posts, and I will not quote you.

Thanks in advance. ^^

1. I think Ike is a great heavy.
he's got plenty of kill moves, although his quick startup attacks are generally lacking.

2. I am in constant dread of the Fsmash around the corner.
That and a bair at high percents. <_<

3. I don't ever see anyone use Counter at all. Also Downsmash doesn't seem all too threatening.

4. I usually shorthop Flame breath to approach, and to shut down his approach. Sometimes a fortress out of shield is kinda sexy. Fsmash to punish a whiffed Fsmash is good to.

5. If I'm trying to gimp him off the edge, and he's using his side-b to recover, I can usually take a hit far of the edge and he's screwed. If he uses up-b, I'll use flame breath to keep him from getting up and then hug the edge.

Hope I was of some assistance. :)
