Ike is probably going to be one of my secondary mains, alongside Pokemon Trainer, Toon Link, Ness, Pit, and King Dedede (Luigi being my main main, of course) I mean... he's IKE. Everyone loves Ike, except Endgame who I refuse to acknowledge as a human being. |

Endgame's the one who's obsessed with Micaiah, right? I definitely plan to use Ike, mainly because Great Aether looks so painful. |

No, that's Naglfar, aka Naggy. The thing is, he can be funny. Endgame hates anything to do with FE 2, 8, 9, and 10. He complains anytime anyone talks about Ike or his games on the Brawl boards, hates Micaiah, Ephraim, and anyone else from those games on. He also hates the Ice Climbers (he feels that Little Mac and Lip would be far better characters to use) and Pokemon Trainer (since he uses 1st-gen Pokemon; he dislikes anyone who only like the 1st gen, further showing his hypocrisy). That, and he was my nemesis on the Melee boards when I was a New User. Probably the only person in GameFAQs I hate (maybe andor3 as well). Anyways, enough about that. Ike is PWNsome. I've made the case that Ike can beat Samus on GameFAQs (people really overrate her power; if Ike can survive attacks from a Goddess, some measly cannon won't kill him either) |

I like what I've seen of Ike....I could possibly use him, but probably not main him. Little too slow for my tastes, but that power really makes up for it...I remember seeing a video where Lucario managed to get him up to around 80 damage without Ike even landing a hit....before Ike landed 2 hits and KOed Lucario. I'd probably play as him for fun, but not in tourneys or anything... |

After watching a few videos, I'm hooked on Ike. Is it just me, or is the vertical recovery for Aether really insane? It's not Sonic-caliber recovery, but it's still pretty damn high. |

After fighting Vyse's Ike, and comparing it to his Link and Pit, I can testify that Ike is indeed a beast. |

Yeah, it was weird. I think I did better with Ike than I did with either of my two main characters. I know I did horribly with Pit. That match was just a mess. But yeah, Ike is [size=7]AMAZING[/size]. Seriously. Excellent attacks, great recovery, nigh impossible to kill, great FS if you use it.... Ike is just awesome. |

And, he fights for his friends. Anyways, I'm trying out every one (while I had a few people ahead of time that I planned to main, you can't tell for sure unless you actually use them). Well, I am definitely using Ike as one of my mains (and I think the yellow outfit will be my main colour for him). |

Can't let you do that, Ike...
 Jokes aside, Ike seems pretty popular. Fighting AGAINST him, I can say that every hit he lands is trouble. Sure, that's true with any character, but with Ike, almost EVERY hit can be a KO if you're not careful. He's faster than I thought he'd be though...BS was able to shield or dodge most of my attacks...or he could just be good... I can usually see most of his attacks coming, except the aerials....I don't expect those coming from him. They sneak up on me. The best thing to do is just stay back really and projectile him, and then when he comes up, dodge roll behind. He's usually still attacking by the time you're behind him and then you just hit em with something. I don't like to stand back and fight long range the WHOLE time, seems cheap, so I'd rather get close and fight him, but it's hard to do with Ike. He'll take you to town in no time if you let him... |

From what I've played, I'm the fastest Ike I've ever encountered, minus one player I fought in Basic Brawl that was extremely good at using Counter. And by fastest, I mostly mean how all-over-the-field I can be. But if there's one complaint I have about Ike, it's that Ragnell does not make use of its long-range. Eruption should have been swapped with a shockwave. Would it make Ike broken? Hm, probably. |

Yeah, the last thing Ike needs is a ranged attack. >_>; Considering that in FE, the shockwave still used his Str stat (and thus was still obscenely powerful), it would probably be the same in Brawl, making Ike pretty much untouchable. |

LOL on topic: I know I suck, but I keep falling off stages as Ike, but other than that, I like using him a lot too. |

The more and more I play this game, the more I <3 Ike. amazing amazing character <3 That being said, even before I got the game, he was already one of my favorite nintendo characters(and my favorite character in brawl/Fav FE character) due to how awesome he was personality wise and battle wise in PoR/RD.... Ike ftwwww |

Use eruption when you're falling down and an enemys about to smash you. It'll do nice damage and you wont get launched cuz of super armor. Im starting to <3 eruption, too. |

In the arena of logic, I fight unarmed.

After watching this video: Ike Combo Video I must say that I am very impressed with Ike, even though I'm not particularly good at using him. |

Meh, I don't think that video does Ike justice. And I'm not just saying that as an ardent fan; that video has a lot of moves that either really won't happen in a battle against someone who actually knows what s/he's doing or are just plain easy to do. I'll give credit for a couple of the meteor smashes, but not much else past that. And where were the combos? All I saw were a bunch of isolated hits. |

Combos don't really exist in this game, unfortunately. The defensive options are so extensive (no hitstun, air dodging repeatedly, able to air dodge immediately after being hit, etc) that most good players can avoid strings of attacks. Brawl combos are multihit attacks and basic A combos. =/ Chaingrabbing can be effective, too. |

OK, I feel pretty damn awesome. I've destroyed a Fox and a ZSS with Ike. Granted, I was playing random GFAQers, and they kinda sucked. But still, I was able to not only hold my own but win with Ike against uber-fast characters. (b^.^)b |

Ike does fine against any character, because a hit or two from Ike can completely turn the match around lol |
