How do you fight Ike?

When you see him charging his overB, just start sucking and you win.

His range can give Kirby trouble but he's slow enough that it breaks even.
Be careful of his u-tilt, it stays out forever and can kill the final cutter.
Ike is easily edgeguarded, because like azuriken said, his quick draw can be inhaled and he falls fast enough for up-B not to be as useful.
Smash moves don't trouble Kirby because his spot-dodge is quick and he can avoid them easily.
Airdodging is important to gain the advantage, Ike and other disjoints are all about spacing and, therefore, they will consistently try to outrange Kirby. Dodging his laggy attacks and following up with punishment is the best strategy.

It's better than that Kiwi, if you properly space Kirby away from Ike so Ike's attack hits but he doesn't fly into your mouth, Ike will take off like a limp rocket past you and die.

Works with DDD and Kirby.

Ike is faster than people give him credit for, not Ganon slow but actually around average. It's his attacks that are why people think he's a turtle.

His up B is just too much like Final Cutter to not abuse. It's so gimpable especially with Kirby's multiple jumps it's easier to just airdodge around and bair him from behind.

I think it's best for kirby to just take it to the air (specially because of sideB spammers) because I think he just outclasses Ike in the air.

Cause we all know Ike sucks and we could help them all day and still 56 stock them in a 3 stock match.
