Ike Boards General/Q&A Thread

[Heartstring]

Apex is a no-go for me. Don't like brawl anymore. I'll probably show up for dinner if CJ and I are still on for that?

Shame, what dinner is this though? I may have forgotten things XD

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

Ussi and CJ have a date. So no third wheel for you.

Skeen XD
I thought it was like a meet up or something (or it is, and you're trolling me)

I keep forgetting, whos coming to apex? I know Me, CJ and ryo are

 

[C.J.]

Two different things GP haha.

Yes, we're still good if you want to make the trip, Ussi.

Catch anything fishing?

 

[Ussi]

I caught a yellowtail something.. And a squirrel fish which we had to throw back.

[Teh Brettster]

I played some Brawl for the first time in a good long time last night.

And I randomly played so well it made me wish I was going to Apex.

I made some of the dirtiest reads in ages.

 

[Teh Brettster]

Btw double post because nobody cares:

Ussi, I'm jealous of you for having water that blue anywhere near you. I have nasty Texan (manmade) lakes for 6-8 hours and then there's the Gulf of Mexico.

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

It may be blue but could still be full of crap. One of the beaches I went to in Rochester....blue water, but take a bucket of it and splash it on the sand and it's green

not near me. NJ has dirty water. This was at the Bahamas

 

[Teh Brettster]

Oh, that makes a lot more sense.

Most beautiful water I've ever seen was in Dubrovnik, Croatia.
I wish I could see water like that more than once ever.

 

[Luco]

We have some really nice water here in Australia. On hot days it looks like you could take a picture of it and put in on a travel brochure, and you often get Mangrove trees sticking up with just their branches/leaves above the water, while the trunk and below are under-water.

 

[Heartstring]

we have some pretty good water here. Although we're a tiny island, so we get the sea. It's still nice though :D

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

First on new server.

 

[Ussi]

new server don't work for my phone


also what are yall pools for apex? I see Ryo is gonna end up playing a diddy in the 2nd round of his pool

 

[Blubolouis]

I have 5 byes in my pool yay

Ryo, try to save as many games as possible plz ! I also asked Leon if he could get around to play you. As a matter of fact, if you could play with euro players and save replays, that would be awesome. And now I wish you good luck, I hope you'll make it far because you definitely can !

Good luck to everyone else attending (G~P I'm not forgetting you !), I don't know exactly who is because I didn't keep up with the news all that much. Rep Ike, save replays, and have fun !

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

Really wish I could be there... could not spare that entire weekend though =/

 

[Ryo_Guikido]

I will play them as much as I can I promise Blubo!!!

My pool is currently OP, but it's being 'fixed' in a few days luckily XD
Cheers man, Im here primarily for fun but hell it would be great to shut up the various naysayers on the UK smash page by making it to bracket XD I've been working desperately hard on not-autopiloting all my matches. and its a WIP but hopefully it will be all ready for the singles!
anyone know if doubles bracket is up yet?

 

[tru0067]

I just don't have fun playing this game.

Why do you still post here then

I caught a yellowtail something.. And a squirrel fish which we had to throw back.

[collapse=squirrel fish]

[/collapse]

I can see why you threw that back

we have some pretty good water here. Although we're a tiny island, so we get the sea. It's still nice though :D

Australia is a huge island so we have lots of nice water

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

Why do you still post here then

Because if not for Ussi, everyone would think the Ike metagame is dead.

 

[Ussi]

I just make the thread more active than normal. Boosting Ike social to one of the more social ones.

 

[Blubolouis]

So I started to use the dolphin emulator to record matches. Gotta say, not easy but still easier than the dazzle I owned which kept desynching the audio and stuff.

I chose a very classical match to test it.

I'm recording some friendlies vs Shaky right now, should be up in a few hours.

 

[Ussi]

[Heartstring]

Now at internetexplorers place. Turns out I wont be staying here, Instead I'm going back to stay with Ryo and TrueBlue :D Ike and sonic everywhere

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

Tell Ryo my Marth's better than his. So it better get him out of pools.

 

[Senliten]

I smell a ryo .vs. bs marth ditto. Who rocks the girly headband better GO!

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

I'd get wrecked, haven't touched this game in ages lol.

 

[tru0067]

My username was going to be TrueBlue...

 

[Ussi]

sucks to be you then

 

[ravemaster47]

Are there any useful tips for fighting olimar?

 

[Ussi]

get him into the air. Grab him

 

[Blubolouis]

get him offstage and try to rack damage at the edge. pick a secondary (seriously)

 

[Ussi]

another tip, learn to punish Olimar's whistle, its exactly like punishing air dodges just you have half the leeway to punish (Olimar's whistle only has 5 frames of vulnerability instead of air dodges 10/20). If you think he was land with whistle then you grab him.

 

[ravemaster47]

I second lucario, but ike is my favorite. How would ypu go about approaching him?

 

[Ussi]

One does not simply approach Olimar

You have to be wary of his fsmash and pivot grab.. Pivot grab you want to just not get close enough to get grabbed which means you can't reach him, so you have to bait it out then push him to the ledge where he can't pivot grab you. You gotta not get too preoccupied with killing pikmin at the same time not ignore them. Shielding makes them past right through you. Fsmash is used to get you out so he can side b you some more. Once you get in, you want to jab or grab him cause Olimar is pretty easy to shield pressure.

 

[ravemaster47]

I figured jabbing would be an effective way to pressure. i just have a tough time approaching. What stages are best and suited for counter picking in that matchup? Sorry if it feels like im asking too many questions. I havent been to many rournaments since i moved from dallas.

 

[Ussi]

it doesn't really matter what stage you pick.. as no stage is gonna change the MU besides like FD making it worse..

 

[ravemaster47]

All righty. Thanks for the tips. Time to apply it.

 

[Teh Brettster]

Ryo beat Nakat, then lost to Shaky. Weird.

 

[Blubolouis]

and lost to jtails apparently. Who's that ? D:
