Differences from Brawl
Ike received a balanced combination of buffs in speed and some nerfs in damage.
Attributes
- Heavier than in Brawl.
- Taller and bulkier, as it's an older Ike, resulting in a larger hurtbox, however slightly increasing the range of practically all attacks.
- Higher base and double jump.
Ground Attacks
- Neutral Attack causes less damage in all hits. However, the last hit is faster.
- Forward Tilt causes less damage, but has slightly less ending lag.
- Up Tilt causes more damage.
- Down Tilt is faster and causes more knockback at the tip. No longer capable of causing Meteor Smash.
- Down Smash is slightly faster, and causes slightly more damage and knockback.
- Dash Attack causes more knockback, but has slightly less range, with Ike sliding shorter along the ground.
Aerial Attacks
- Neutral Aerial is slightly faster.
- Forward Aerial and Back Aerials causes less damage, but are faster.
- Down Aerial causes less knockback when used against grounded opponents.
Grabs and Throws
- Dash Grab has slightly higher range, with Ike sliding a bit more.
Special Attacks
- Eruption charges slightly faster and has a larger hitbox, however it is weaker in terms of damage and knockback. Also, when it is close to be fully charged, the sword will flash, indicating to the player when it has achieved full damage (the player can still hold the button, but the self-damage point is already achieved and charging it further will not increase damage.)
- Quick Draw no longer leaves Ike helpless when hitting an enemy while used in air. It also has less landing lag and covers more distance. However, it causes less damage and it has longer ending lag when it doesn't hit anything. Also, when fully charged, Ike will flash red.
- Aether covers higher vertical distance, but deals less damage. In addition, Ike can no longer grab a ledge from behind while using the move.
- Counter come out faster.
- Great Aether causes slightly less damage, but deals higher knockback. Also, the connecting hit has higher range. Additionally, it has more intense visual effects, and just like Eruption, the flames on Great Aether are now blue.
