I wanted to get some practice in against a good Ike (not those basic brawl fsmash + Aether spammers) and it turned out he saved all the matches under 3 minutes and put a few of them up :). Again, this was the first Ike I've played, so some mistakes come from inexperience in the match up (as I'm sure was the case with him too). I'll already say I use rollout 3x more than the normal Jiggs xD.

I'm not afraid to say I have a problem with dair -> Rest. I'm in the process of implementing a new combo (Ohhh yeah, I said it. But it's an actual combo xD. I'll post a topic when I work the kinks out, promise.) into my game that combos into Rest. But for now, I'm one of the only Jiggs who has a problem getting the rest off for every kill :(.

Do more hit and runs. Grab way more; you had a ton of opportunities for a grab and rolled away or just didnt do anything. Air dodge more; dont attack everytime youre near the opponent, try out some mindgames so you dont get hit/out prioritized. Jiggz has bad priority so you gotta be more cautious and patient. You have to use your shield to block hits also. I didnt really pay much attention to it until I rewatched your vids but you hardly shield at all. In the 2nd vid you didnt shield a single attack and just got hit over and over and over. This whole game revolves around how well you can shield so I'd put some work into that. I dunno if you were on WiFi or not also because the game was very slow paced. There were times where you guys were just walking around for a couple seconds doing nothing. Overall Id say the major things you gotta work on is Shielding. Its too good to not use.

Yeah, they were on WiFi. As I mentioned, it was my first time playing a good Ike, so I wasn't always sure on how to approach it. There was a little bit of strategy to all the aggressiveness xD.

I don't shield much with her because I hardly have her on the ground, but I do see what you mean point-on about the second match with Shielding. I'll work on her grabs too, but the range is misleading. The dash grab covers quite a bit more ground, but if it whiffs, that's a free hit. It's not like Rest that can be comboed into from dair.

Hit and Run is a much better way to play, I know :(. I'm trying to work on it, but I love those entertaining kills like the first match with the first kill. Hit and Run doesn't provide that, but it does provide wins and that's what's important.
