Ike Boards General/Q&A Thread

[•Col•]

Sometimes, jab1->uptilt really does seem like it combos.

I think its because most of the time when you start jabbing someone, they think like "GYAGHYBYGH I'M GOING TO SDI OUT OF THIS".

.... But then instead of another jab, you throw out an utilt and then they're all like

 

[YagamiLight]

Yea the same goes for me. I fear this may be my last whobo due to me being married now. I would love to meet you and any other ike players i have not met at whobo 3. you ike kids are some of the coolest guys ive met. just try and go, if u cant then its ok with me

I am going to try so hard to go to this.

Not because I am going to try to take first place or any of that, but because all of you seem like such cool people that I would feel terrible if I didn't get to meet you at least once in real life. Money is always a bother but **** it I will bike there if I have to.

You definitely should go, as even more incentive for me to go. Biggest Ike main picture in history! And hopefully most Ike placings in a 64-man bracket in history.

 

[theeboredone]

Is it 64 bracket or is it 32? I forgot what it was last WHOBO. In any case, don't be surprised if some of you get stuck in a bad pool and not make it. Happens to unknown players, even if they are good.

Anyways, I still need to test out my wii wifi...will let you know later tonight.

Last one was 64 (well, 60 got in). And from all the hype and it being spring break and everything, I'm sure there'll be even more players this time, so a 32 bracket would mean way too many pools.

 

[Mr. Doom]

A 32-man bracket would be ridiculous for a tourney the size of WHOBO.

 

[Nidtendofreak]

It's during Spring Break?

...

*sigh*

Seeing as I was just told it may be flat out impossible to get a job while I'm still in Texas, I guess I better start looking for chores to do for money...

 

[BlueHurricane]

So, I've been using Ike for a while. I've been using Smash Stick, but I hear Attack Stick is generally better for Ike's needs. It feels really awkward to me, should I keep using it, is it worth it?

 

[theeboredone]

Personally, if you are a really good SDI'er, then you should stick to using the C-stick set to Smash. However, if not, you can opt to change it to attack as it gives you more flexibility with your aerials and gives you an easier time doing a walk off d-air.

Okay, thanks for the answer. I wanted to know because even though walk off d-air sounds nice along with a more mobile Nair, I don't like the jump after using a tilt too soon, and I like being able to SDI since it's the only reason I can survive to high percents.

 

[theeboredone]

Also, keep in mind that in high levels of competition, a walk off D-air is really hard to pull off.

 

[jamlosingthegame]

However, it is possible to do walk-off Dairs with Smash stick. I think you have to tilt the control stick diagonally and the Smash stick diagonally in the opposite direction. I'm not sure if this is how it's performed, but I know it is possible, just really difficult to pull off.

 

[theeboredone]

You're right jam, and as you said, you need a good amount of practice before doing it in tourny. I'm comfortable with it, but like I said...opponents don't really give me a chance to spike them since they know to avoid it.

Yes dude please go! it would be really cool to meet you

 

[Teh Brettster]

I'm pretty happy with Light and Nysyarc right now.

Two of the Ikes I have yet to meet that I really want to meet. And they both want to go.

 

[theeboredone]

I can imagine how Niddo and Nys' encounter would go. That is...if Niddo decides to show up.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9O5xfKh_Rg

Language too.

Edit: Nys and Light have a higher probability of showing up to WHOBO than Niddo.

 

[Nidtendofreak]

Probably. Then again, I have quite a number of months to earn let's say $80 accounting for the badge pricing rising while I earn the money, + $10 for the actual tournament. And then how ever much money I'd have to pay the SA group for my ride there and back + hotel stuff...

Blast it. I really want to go to this. ;_;

 

[theeboredone]

With the hotel hook up from Judge, you would add 10 more dollars to your total. Gas would probably be 5-10 as well. So yea, you are roughly looking at 110. Oh and unless you bring your own food...you gonna have to buy stuff.

 

[Nidtendofreak]

*does some rough calculations*

So I'd have to do...50ish chores before then, seeing as I normally get about $5 per chore, with the occasional extra dollars thrown in there, and I don't get money for Christmas or B-day...in between college stuff...

;_;

 

[theeboredone]

Drop college for the semester. Instant 3000 dollars that should have gone to your tuition. GG.

 

[Nidtendofreak]

No, my parents are paying for my college while I'm still in Texas. And if I'm not in college, I have to have a job otherwise they kick me out of the house. And it may be impossible for me to get a job due to a stupid rule about needing to be here for 6 months after you get your permit, and how long it takes to get your permit. >_>

Besides, that would be taking things too far.

Yagami said he would try and go after last years Whobo... XD i can't wait. if only ike was LT me and him could team.. Team counter yo ****! XD

Just go in normal teams. Double Ike is legit.

BTW.

I think I have plans already with a super secret teammate for WHOBO 3.

 

[Mr. Doom]

Look for me on livestream. I may pop up in doubles later on. http://www.ustream.tv/channel/radium88

I lol'd. I do want to meet you though Niddo, so I hope you can make it.

Will do. I'm actually doing a mid tier (yes, mid tier, I very happy) OTL tourney today and some matches will be livestreamed. We had the regular tourney yesterday and one of the guys had the great idea of streaming some matches for the rest of us by joining the room with the players and SDing his stocks. I ended up in WFs, LFs and GFs so I got plenty of air time but not a lot of time in the stream chat, lol.

 

[Mr. Doom]

You guys missed out on some SDI practice, lol.

 

[Nysyarc]

Hey I was there for that! Well at least I saw the demonstration with DK and Snake.

Also, quick tidbit in case anyone was unaware:

If you use the attack stick, you can do IDA by tapping the c-stick in a diagonal direction, so that if you mis-input you just do a Jab 1 instead of a Dtilt. Could be useful, particularly while playing online for our bi-weeklies, cause I see a lot of Dtilts after Bthrows, lol.

ooh, cool, ****it i'd just decided i wasnt going to use a-stick again and now im tempted again DX
i tend to fsmash when i fail the DA though

 

[Nysyarc]

Oh yah dang, I guess it's even worse to mess up the input with smash stick, lol. If you use c-stick down you could accidentally use that move that does not actually exist but was given a random name anyways. Something like... Dsmash?

 

[Heartstring]

oh no i dont use the stick, i just get the control stick and a -button too close a lot of the time

 

[theeboredone]

Red got last out of 15 ppl at the tourny he went too. Oh well. Red-X gonna be droppin off the general Ike PR.

 

[Nysyarc]

Oh ok, I prefer control stick and c-stick for certain situations to IDA, but I just use A if I'm already dashing. I basically never use A from a standstill now that I know about this neutral c-stick input for IDA, not worth the risk of Fsmashing or something ridiculous.

Did he? Wow... RedX got some johning explaining to do.

 

[-RedX-]

I suck. :[
I have a bunch of matches saved though.

Also, I REALLY need to try listening to music while playing matches. I need a way to stop getting so friggin nervous.

/johns.

 

[san.]

Just think it's a wifi match and all your worries will go away.

 

[Iofsauron]

Just think it's a wifi match and all your worries will go away.

^^ Agreed haha I laughed really loudly at this

 

[-RedX-]

True...lol
Well, next tourney I'm going to is on October 24th. More people/hype might actually help me do better. Hopefully. :[

Also, there was a replay of San beating up some DDD named Keith on one the Wiis there. lol

 

[san.]

LOL, you sure that was me? Don't remember anyone named keith.. Unless it was really really old.

 

[-RedX-]

It was your tag/color and you used Aether a few times as a follow up whenever DDD was somewhat high offstage. Maybe a match from Apex?

 

[san.]

Maybe.. Only DDD I remember playing at Apex was GDX from Florida. Just wondering, because I rarely ever play DDDs. It sounds like it's from that time, because I was experimenting with using aether when DDD recovers above stage because he can only barely airdodge it.

 

[Mr. Doom]

There's another tournament this weekend that I plan to attend.
