Ike Boards General/Q&A Thread

[jamlosingthegame]

Meh it was pretty fun and all. I would like to play with you guys again sometime though.

 

[Rangerike]

Why not just do some weekly tournament thing. But, this is still an Ike forum so people might use Ike... lol

 

[Ussi]

Weekly is too often

 

[Heartstring]

that, and my connection with you guys is jockstrappingly bad

Got 7th out of about 60, 28 made it out of pools. I went all Ike. I need to learn the Shiek MU. I did really well against ICs, though, lost 2-1 in pools then 2-0 in bracket against the same person. I get grabbed so easily for some odd reason, for say when I don't try to play within that range against ICs. Hmm.

 

[theeboredone]

Nice work Zatch. Keep it up.

 

[Mr. Doom]

Time to lurk the thread and see if there were any SDs...

 

[san.]

Nice Zatch. I happened to see the results earlier this morning.

Sheik is tricky and fast, but if you stick to jabs and your quickest aerials, you'll see sheik's damage % increase more and more. It's not too difficult to hit sheik if you get her to upB onstage before she even lands with ledge release hop + fair or uair.

ICs we can camp or play up close. Only fair if you're really far away, but stick to retreating nair if they get close, since you can just jab them afterwards. Grab+pummel->bthrow fsmash Nana can work even on the best of ICs.

Platform camping and dairing or fairing their uairs makes the match super simple, though.

 

[theeboredone]

Still have to be careful with mixing it up a bit vs IC. Retreating N-air to jab can work the first time, but if they shield grab you...

 

[Teh Brettster]

Congrats, Zatch.

Why have I not seen any videos of anyone who has joined us in the past year? Other than Blubolouis?

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

I'd shamelessly plug my Youtube channel, but all those vids are almost 6 months old now... >.>

 

[Ussi]

I forgot my youtube account..


Gonna have to make a new one

 

[Heartstring]

my youtube account harbours some god-forsaken video's of my r.o.b
my god i suck so hard XD
i feel like a burn victims, sunburnt to the max cause i fell asleep in swinshorts outside, woke up 7 hours later nice and red. and i had about half a pints worth of absinth last night, and that **** burns your insides something chronic

 

[Teh Brettster]

The only good videos up of me are from 9 months ago. Suck it up.

There are tons of stupid bad friendlies from when I had just started playing the game and then a few good videos from events called HOBO 27 and HOBO 28.

 

[-RedX-]

I have wifi matches and a highlight on Brinstar.
Awwww yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeea.

Good **** Zatch. Being curious, payout was 70/20/10?

 

[theeboredone]

Lawlz at random DBZ moments.

Leave Vegeta alone!

oh i give up, i'm tired.

 

[jamlosingthegame]

Only vid of me was just me and my friend on wifi on Luigi's Mansion when it became a CP. It sucks.

 

[Nysyarc]

Any thought on bringing the bi-weekly back?

Probably going to do so early next month, with the new rules for character switching so it's not just 100% Ike. They were definitely fun and I'd like to play you guys again. I've just been really busy and have forgotten about them over the months.

There's a vid of Zatch in the critique thread, but there haven't been too many new guys in the past year either.

I have tons of videos up of myself, although most of the recent ones are doubles with Croi.

That's if the nair hits, of course. Idk.. I just have no fear against ICs when I could kill them in 5 seconds anyways.

I played Hyli@n's ICs in like 10 games at pound V and won them all so I'm doing something right.

 

[theeboredone]

Love how you spelled his name to avoid name search.

Apparently M2K timed someone out by grabbing the ledge only 8 times...

Excellent.

Expect me to join a few of them because 1) it's summer and 2) You guys are the best.

 

[AN(M)ist]

wth is jockstrapping? sounds a little british tbh.

 

[Ussi]

M2K setting them records. Was it on RC?

a jockstrap is an item of underwear that keep your package firmly in place and protects it too, its almost compulsory to wear it during cricket as taking a fast flying cricket ball to the nuts can cause many things...mainly pain

the term i used was made up on the spot, dont judge me

 

[Mr. Doom]

I love lurking livestreams. As soon as the SDs happen, an invitation is immediately sent. I should do this more often.

 

[Teh Brettster]

Aw see now you've gone and given me a warm fuzzy.

 

[Nysyarc]

M2K setting them records. Was it on RC?

If it's the match I think it was then yes. I watched M2K time out Bizkit's Snake on RC match 2. Didn't notice how many ledge grabs there were but it couldn't have been very many at all, he mainly just camped the edges of the screen and flew under the ship.

It was intense and entertaining to watch.

I take back the records then, it will be impressive when he does it with NO ledge grabs on RC

 

[Heartstring]

if anyone can time out in a competitive match with no ledge grabs then they deserve somekind of medal and their opponent wins a free trip to specsavers

 

[Zatchiel]

Thanks guys. I think I did really good for my first OoS tourney. All of my pool and tourney matches are getting recorded atm, so I'll have vids for critique soon. There was a hack on the Wii that forced you to save every replay. Tourney/Pool matches on the SD, and friendlies on the Wii. I really enjoyed that. Very well organized.

 

[Ussi]

I think its possible to do a no ledge grab time out on RC. There is only 6 ledges on the stage, and you really just need to avoid using the ledge on the boat and that's really it.

Zatch ya did great

 

[Blubolouis]

Another tourney result: I didn't do so well :/ I lost to the guy who won the tournament, Acid, a fox main, who destroyed me on delfino, and a Lucas. I don't understand this character. I tried to play the usual "keep out" but couldn't get around his Dair :<
Oh well... I'll keep being bad a bit longer.

 

[theeboredone]

Guessing if you played the winner of the tourny, that means you got seeded pretty low.

 

[-RedX-]

Acid? Doesn't he play Bowser?

 

[Heartstring]

Acid? Doesn't he play Bowser?

thats what i thought
he may well play fox too though, ixisnaugus went ape**** at how stupid acids bowser was
not in a good way either

 

[Ussi]

Acid switched mains a while back.

He beat one of the european marth's with bowser too (in a set)
