Whats with all these Ikes? Iwent on team battle once and there were THREE Ikes. I was the oddball. Is he.. a bit overused?
 
He's one of the main ones I use, but I stop using him if he's being used too much altogether. The main character I use a lot (probably 2nd most) that virtually no one else does is Pikachu.
 
Ike is overused because he's relatively easy to use. I used to think it was hard to use him because he's slow, but his strength is overkill. he's just as easy and cheap as Pit.

I barely use him anymore because he's way too easy... I've been working on fighting with honor rather than winning or losing, which is why I barely use Sonic anymore. Holding a reputation for being an honorable player is better than beating someone with an easy character.
 
Ya, I'm starting to like ROB too. And maybe I'll use Ganondorf for a little bit.

Amen right there. I always see Pit, Sonic, Ike, and Ness when I battle, it's ********. It's fun though to watch Ike struggle to get back on stage, because Aether sucks. I see my brother die more time using Aether than me owning him as Link/Toon Link. It's sad.

Ike= Epic Fail
Pit= Pain in the Rear, Extremely Cheap with that move where he spins his bow.
 
Heh that was kind of funny Gremp... "I'd rather fight for honor..." Sounds like something Ike would say.

I use Ike, but not because he's easy to win with. I just like Ike. If I win, yay, I know people will complain because I used a "cheap character". If I lose, oh well, at least I'm having fun with the game.

And who do you guys think is the hardest character to use (well)?

My least two favorite characters.


:p

I used to use Ike but he was a tad bit slow for me. I used him yesterday on Norfair and won in a fierce three-way battle with my friends.

Hardest to use, probably Olimar for me.
 
How is Ike cheep? You know, there is something called dodging? He is extremely slow, and its easy to get out of the way of his attacks.

And that. People complain about Ike and then call him cheap...
 
I think Ike is a pretty balanced character, not cheap. he's powerful and has an insane attack range, but his recovery move isn't the best and he's very slow compared to most characters.

@JJH: Hardest character to use well? Depends, there are two extremes for me. Dedede is hard to win with and hard to master, and Sonic is easy to win with but hard to master.

He can't beat them that's why he calls them cheap. And ZF, he wouldn't understand that it matters who is actually using the character and not what character the person is using.
 
I don't think there are any "cheap" characters in Brawl because they all have weaknesses, and every move can be countered with a different one...
 
lolz, what's all this about having a bad recovery? Side B please. He has a perfect recovery for both when he's far from the stage and for when he's right under it.

And all that about dodging... When someone constantly uses a move that will easily kill you at 30%, it's obviously going to hit you sometime. And Ike seriously isn't that slow... Side B and the Aether are pretty fast. When they give a character a move that hits up, left, and right at the same time and will kill at 30%, and still has a fast execution speed (^A), you know something's wrong.

And yes, there are cheap characters. Pit's side-B is freaking annoying, and you have 0.1 seconds to dodge it, because it executes immediately, then it catches you in the ring, you're helpless, you get 20-30 damage, then it sends you flying. You get back on the stage, they do it again. You can't even shield it because the shield doesn't last long enough.

I agree that pit's side B is annoying, but you can move out of it...
 
Eh, I don't find a problem with Ike.
It's really just Sonic and Pit for me.

Seriously, Sonic has a HOMING attack....I know you can dodge it, but still...that's pretty lame..... >__>

And Pit's YAYAYAYAYAYAYYA is damn annoying.


Word to Str0m for using Pikachu though.

You have the same thoughts as me.
