Quickdraw2 — Ike lunges forwards and slashes his opponent.

The Quick Draw (居合い斬り Iai kiri, lit. "Drawing Cut") is Ike's Side Special move that was confirmed at the Smash Bros. DOJO!!.

When used, Ike lunges forward a short distance across the stage (approximately halfway across Final Destination uncharged, or three-quarters to nearly the entire length of the stage when fully charged) and slashes at any enemy which is within range of the dash. The move can be executed very quickly, making it one of Ike's fastest moves. It can be charged by holding the Special Button to increase the distance Ike travels and the damage and knockback of the slash. The charge stance can be held indefinitely. If the move does not connect, it has very low ending lag, giving Ike a chance to follow up with a different attack. His U-Tilt, jab, and grab are decent follow-up options. This move can also be used while off the stage to give Ike significant horizontal recovery. It should be noted that the dash stops at platform edges, preventing one from accidentally SDing. Quick Draw's high priority allows it to negate or counter many grounded approaches, such as various Dash attacks, Meta Knight's Drill Rush, or Sonic's Spin Dash. If used midair, Ike becomes helpless once the move either ends its run or it hits something damageable (such as opponents, Pikmin, Snake's Remote Missile, Waddle Dees, stage elements, etc). This makes it easy for edge-guarders to intercept, and it also makes it impossible for Ike to use both Quick Draw and Aether in the same recovery, making his overall recovery extremely predictable. It should be noted that when using Quick Draw to recover and aiming for the ledge, be sure to give Ike some vertical spacing, as he is still affected by gravity during the dash, unlike moves such as Fox Illusion or Falco Phantasm.

Quick Draw is integral to Ike's Charge Tackle technique. When executed aerially from an altitude slightly higher than the stage platform he is to land on, it makes Ike slide a decent distance. During this slide, Ike can execute any number of attacks. Aether, a tilt, or a smash are all great choices to use. This technique can prove to be difficult to perform offensively, but comes in handy as a Guard Break when Ike is launched from the far edge of a stage.

Ike can be killed if he uses this move against an inhaling King Dedede near a ledge. When Ike dashes forward, he will attack Dedede with Quick Draw's slash but then continue flying past him, usually falling helplessly to his death. If a King Dedede player is using Inhale on a ledge and an Ike player accidentally inputs a Quick Draw while facing him, this can cause an amusing stalemate where neither player will give up their respective charge.

-When used, Ike lunges forward a short distance across the stage (approximately halfway across [[Final Destination (SSBB)|Final Destination]] uncharged, or three-quarters to  nearly the entire length of the stage when fully charged) and slashes at any enemy which is within range of the dash. The move can be executed very quickly, making it one of Ike's fastest moves. It can be charged by holding B to increase the distance Ike dashes across the stage, and the damage and knockback of the slash relative to the amount of time spent charging. The charge stance can be held indefinitely. If the move does not connect, it has very low ending lag, giving Ike a chance to follow up with a different attack.  His Up-tilt, Neutral A combo, and his grab are decent follow-up options. This move can also be used while off the stage to give Ike a significant horizontal recovery. If used on a stage, it should be noted that the move stops at the edges, preventing one from, possibly, preforming suicide. It can also be used to counter an opponent's dashing attack or special-in several cases when Quick Draw clashes with a similar special, Quick Draw wins (such as against Meta Knight's Drill Rush) or results in a draw (such as against Sonic's Spin Dash). If used in mid-air, Ike falls into [[helpless]] once the move either ends its run or it hits something damageable (such as opponents, Pikmin, [[Snake (SSBB) | Snake's]] [[Remote Missile]], [[Waddle Dee Toss|Waddle Dees]], stage elements, etc).  This makes it easy for edge-guarders to intercept, and it also makes it impossible for Ike to use both Quick Draw and [[Aether]] in the same recovery, making his overall recovery extremely predictable. Beware also to make sure you can reach the ledge or stage when you release it, as it is slightly affected by gravity as Ike lunges forward, unlike the [[Fox Illusion]] or the [[Falco Phantasm]].

-Ike can be killed if he uses this move into [[King Dedede (SSBB) | King Dedede's]] [[Inhale (King Dedede) | Inhale]]. By using Inhale next to a ledge, Ike will Quickdraw into King Dedede, attacking him, but the inhale effect will cause him to keep going, causing him to fall helpless off the ledge. If King Dedede is using Inhale and the Ike player accidently inputs a Quick Draw command to charge it, this can cause an amusing stalemate where neither player will give up their respective charge.
