Personally I think Ike is one of my best options reguarding my characters, so I''m planning on using him as a CP to Snake.
Okay, got the R.O.B. video done now. Here's what I found, after picking apart the video. (Sorry G~P, I know it should be a little broader to help him out with the general everything. But I think this is helpful too.)
0:09 - Hold the shield longer next time or, better yet, attempt to perfect powershielding.
0:13 - Fastfall Nair if you can next time.
had a quick follow-up though, so be wary of that.
0:21 - Don't grab
's side-B. Grabs and jabs will not cancel that.
0:24 - Same thing here. Roll away if possible, as if he stays there he will break your shield.
0:47 - A Bair or Uair would have been effective here.
1:19 - RAR his tail or OoS Bair him. Or just Bair. He was climbing up the ledge so slowly here, it was a perfect chance.
1:32 - Pretty KO, very nice.
1:56 - Airdodge next time. It could have saved you.
2:03 - Keep holding the shield like in the beginning of the fight.
2:11 - If he rolls, short-hop --> Bair. Combo him with a jab cancel later.
2:15 - If he's in the air, shield, don't dodge.
2:18 - Drop with Nair next time.
2:23 - Cancel his side-B with a Bair. Jab1 doesn't have a high enough priority against
's side-B.
2:27, 3:00 - Another chance for a Bair.
3:01-3:03 - Stick up, airdodge, (optional: Bair), stick in, jump, recovery move (Aether or Quickdraw [preferably not the latter]).
3:51 - Another chance for an OoS Bair.
4:25 - Cranking a Bair instead of an Fair or a Utilt would have been more effective here.
4:30 - Shield --> roll next time.
4:42 - Beautiful, hands down.
4:50 - Good spacing with Fair.
4:59 - Bair chance missed again.
What I notice, like StarPhoenix and G~P, is that you need a little more aggression in your game. Now to be frank we can't all be as aggressive as the faster characters. We're Ike mains, slow is a life-style. So be relaxed but come in more often. Utilize that Bair, it's got 5
on the Guide for a reason. Like earlier, use your aerials more to your advantage. But don't jump around a lot, like G~P said. Jumping is fine, just not all the time. Other characters get it easy in the air, Ike mains don't have that luxury.
Again, thanks for posting your video. I hope this helps you out in any way, be it technical or theoretical.
