You, madam, obviously have no idea of how to use Ike. The entire reason he kicks so much ass is because he's so slow. Try smashing someone who's standing next to you. They'll dodge/counter, of course, and then counterattack--only they'll find themselves flying off-screen, because Ike's smashes are so damned hard to predict. That's to say nothing of his side-B attack, which kicks anyone and everyone's teeth in because it can be held indefinitely. Add to that the fact that his regular B attack can be used both as an up-smash from the ground or a down-smash from the air and his ability to counter, and you have one mean mo-fo. I like to kill everything with Ike. I like Ike. |

Right, well, now that I've noticed this... I was playing against three friends of mine. One was Snake, one was Pit, and the other... I think he was Ice Climbers? I believe I picked Olimar... or I might have been Marth, in order to use somebody I had used before and get used to the physics. Yeah... there was a lot of Angel Ring and Guided Rocket spam going on. |

What's wrong with Olimar? You make it sound like he's Brawl's Pichu or something. |

I use Olimar online and I kick *** with him, thank you very much. My first was Peach vs Samus vs Olimar vs Link on Mario Circuit, with Waluigi Pinball playing. I remember how everything seemed so floaty and everything... |

QFT. That's my main issue with it, the floatiness... because my weakness has always been juggling and that just makes it worse. >< |

I really really like playing as Ike. ...but in the last week, I've barely won a game with him. This is against friends, against brothers, or against randoms online. I have the best chance with the latter as opposed to any others. And I don't know what's causing it... if I just really suck, or they've gotten really good, or they've learnt to counter me despite how much I vary my tactics... I don't know. It just feels like I haven't gotten any better since I first picked up Brawl, even though I know that can't be true. It's gotten to the point that it's depressing to play Ike because he's my favourite character and I try my damndest to be good, but everyone can counter him so easily. As I said, I rarely if ever win, and it's even rarer to come close or have a match which leaves both players breathing heavily by the end of it due to the tension of the final life. ...thus in the end, I bust out the Sonic and the Marth and make myself feel better. They don't have the same issue and reaffirm that I *can* still play this game competently. |

Don't keep doing the same things with him mang. My Luigi got two stocks on Lin, but I kept using the Luigi Cyclone as my only approach into combos, and she came back and KO'd me with a difference of about 120% her favour. |

Remember to be unpredictable so you won't be easily learned to be countered. Also you really should play more against Satty. You all make it seem I'm a toughey but Satty gives me the most trouble here so far. He doesn't really 2 stock or more against me (unless I really make stupid mistakes) though but we do usually get into our final stocks with high percentages. I wonder if Satty reads this topic. |

I play against his. He's quite tough, yes, but I honestly find him easier then you. |

I decided to challenge myself and see how many characters I can learn to use well. I think ROB will be my next one. He's gonna be awkward to use at first because I am used to characters with legs, not treads. I just can't get the hang of Jigglypuff, so there goes my 'use all Pokemon well challenge'. |

Yeah, I'm starting to use PT more. Squirtle rocks once you get the hang of him, which I had trouble doing. I need to play more with Ivysaur and Charizard, of course... |

From what I've heard, although Ike is very good, he's also one of those characters that is ridiculously easy to counter once you've gotten the hang of him. That's probably the issue. No matter how much you vary your tactics with him, it won't change the fact that he's a bit awkward. |

I swear I'll get it one of these days. But now I'm just at the point where after two or three matches with him, I give up and play other characters. The Brawl frenzy is slowing down anyway so I'm playing other games again. And I have yet to challenge any of you... really should get around to that sometime. I've only played Joker and he beat me up. |

Hey, don't fret. If you've been practicing against level nines, know this: Yes you've gotten good, since all the do is dodge half the time, as Brawl's engine doesn't allow for mindgames. Try playing as someone that's fast, as they'll be the most practical. Or, if you want to be cheap, use Snake. His smash will kill anybody upwards of 50% not charged up. >_> |

Are you folks sure you should over estimate Snake like that? Yes I know he's top tier but unless you are a devoted tourney player I really don't think he's gonna guarantee 3 stock kills if the opponent uses a lower tier character. I can't wait until the next Final Destination parody video comes out. Now it's gonna be Snake only, no items, Final Destination. |
