just wait till bored sees this lol
****, I can't believe this guy had the nerve to come in and ****in ***** about how much of the **** he is in and talk like he is the ****. **** didn't even put me in the list of Ike's mentioned. Everyone should know how good and awesome I am (RoK STATUS).
Ok guys I don't know if you guys even respect me since my last post but whatever...But listen all. We all need to come together and think of ways to help eachother in terms of our metagame and play styles because it seems that other Ikes don't know how to play him properly I know that we have the critique thread and all but what are we to do about this problem. Ryko, Ren, San, Kimchi, Kirk and all of the other Ikes we need to rep up Ike harder then we ever have. Even if you guys don't see me as a good Ike please just listen we need to put together something more for the viewers. We have grown respected and known all around. Ryko I ask you a favor ok here in florida there is a tourney in December and I need you to help me with a project I need you to help us create another video of all the Ikes again but this time we need to show everyone more of what we can throw to the table. All of the other Ikes we need to put out more vids of sets, matches, even friendlies to give other Ikes an insight from us what it takes to improve. Posts that include how to make Ike faster thing we need to put together how to play Ike better video for others to show them the mechanics of him and what moves suit for which situations. We can bring Ike up on the Tier list if we all work at it together we can't just have one set of Ikes just rep up for us we have what it takes guys...
I'll agree with Niddo, I've been doing hw all the day and seeing this wall of text isn't exactly easy on the eyes. I however, was able to summon up the courage and read your statement.
For an Ike player to learn a match up, watching videos isn't everything. You actually have to go and gain experience. It's a 2 way street. We can't control the amount of commitment one pours into their metagame.
Yes, we do have the usual Ike's reppin out there. Obviously, the ones who are most known for reppin are the ones who are most popular. Skill and popularity can go hand in hand, but in any case, we fail to take notice of the Ike players who do rep him...just not as good.
And what do you mean of making a video that shows more? There's a limit to how much creativity in terms of game footage you can throw in. Besides, videos don't make the player excellent, if anything, it's just an advertisement for new comers to pick up Ike. Problem with that is, newcomers will get frustrated on their lack of success, and eventually see the flaws from our videos, and then run to MK.
Some of us don't have the ability to put up videos...even if we did, it goes hand in hand with popularity. Perfect example being that I posted a video of some Ike player from Brazil I believe...he was pretty awesome with his metagame (especially his offense) for the most part, but no one had even heard of him. Point being, the only way people will go watch Ike videos is if the opponent is a popular person, or if it's a grand finals of some tournament of sorts. From there, comes popularity, which leads people to keep tabs on the person.
Almost finally, posts and stuff about how to play better with Ike, such as making him faster can be found in general discussion. Yes it is hard to read through the past 20 pages to find it, that's why a newcomer can just walk in and ask those kinda questions. We'll give them the answer, and they can apply it to their game.
FINALLY, who cares about moving Ike up in the tier list? It is what it is, and you should personally take it as more of an acknowledgment of your skill if you beat someone higher up on the tier list. Tier lists are there for a reason, but I'm not interested in moving my character up, I'm interested in seeing my opponent's face when they lose to a crappy character.
Oh, and I think this could have been posted in Ashu's.
