So I get that shiek is kind of a pain but it seems like Ike doesn't have that many bad matchups. What would you consider Ikes absolute worst possible matchup to be and why?

Yeah basically.3.0 pitt was dumb so I am glad they nerfed him. It seems like anyone with good zoning he has a hard time with. Am I safe in making that assumption?
Small characters aren't the most fun to play, I'll agree with you there. At least you can get easy damage on Fox and get him offstage from a grab. Playing against Kirby, Squirtle, etc. is all about walling out and mixing up patterns in neutral.I've never faced a Pit so I don't know about Pit, but I would agree with Moy. Basically any character that can duck Ike's grab is a huge pain to deal with, luckily almost no Snakes abuse crouch. Kirby is known to be pretty bad. Also, a Fox that knows the Ike MU is one of if not the worst of Ike's MUs.
The main reason why I struggle against DDD is that his Waddles prevent most grounded approaches, he's incredibly fat, and his aerials have good priority; it's difficult to avoid getting forced into the air to avoid his Waddles and subject yourself to either getting sharked with UAir/NAir/FAir or crouch-canceled if you try to come back down with an aerial when he's at low-mid %s. He's also really good at edgeguarding Ike since Waddles cover QD and he can go out for BAirs relatively easily if Ike tries to Aether.I don't think DDD is that difficult personally. I've played the matchup a lot and it's not too bad. DDD gains an advantage against a lot of characters by living to ridiculous percents and Ike can kill him essentially whenever he wants. Waddles aren't that effective if you know how to avoid them and you can easily control stage as all of DDD's attacks are so slow. If you let him get you offstage then you are dead but you should be able to control the stage more often than not.
