Damage More with Start of Down Smash Attack
The backward strike of Ike's down smash is most powerful at the start of the move, dealing more damage and launching a foe farther than the forward strike.
Quick Slash with Back Air Attack
This is the quickest of all Ike's air attacks, and one of the most damaging too. A valuable weapon for a fighter whose attacks tend to be slow.
Wide Vertical Up Air Attack
This attack covers a wide vertical and horizontal range, allowing you to hit opponents even if they're a little ways away. Try to follow up with this attack after using neutral air, down throw, or up throw.
