I don't think Ike has a solid recovery move. His Up + B technique is pretty much you're only shot if you're trying to get back onto the stage. You gotta jump for the ledge and let Ike fall pretty low to the base of the stage before initiating it. Otherwise, you won't get close. The move has a lot of vertical potential as a recovery move...but that's about it.

Really, that's Ike's main weakness. If he could get back on the stage easier after being knocked off, he'd be even more of a handful than he already is.

well that kinda depends on the situation cause i usually use the Side B move to recover with Ike......you have to be high enough and time it perfectly, otherwise ya have to use his lame up B move that's only good for newbies to spam with...

Hmm, I think the online play might be getting better, I played a few matches earlier, and it didn't take more than 3 minutes to get the players ready and begin the brawl, and there was little to no lag too.

Maybe it was because I was playing it at 3am xD Or maybe it was because they're fixing it?

I didn't know his Side B move could be used without a solid footing. Doesn't it have a lengthy delay? Like you have to wait a few moments to charge before being able to unleash it? If that's the case, then you'd probably be too far gone by the time you got it off. I suppose it could get you back if you activated it before you fall to the level of the platform...or maybe it's a quicker move than I realize.

I dunno. I seldom use Ike.

Actually, the matches DO seem to be less laggy for me when I play at certain times. I guess there's less people on or something.

I'm hoping that they go ahead and completely fix the problem, though. That wish may be overly ambitious. haha

Snake is pretty sweet to use although I'm favouring slightly to Lucario atm. His Final Smash (AKA Beam Cannon of Doom) is pretty fun to use.

Im also a big fan of Super Smash Bros. Ive been using Link since the first game and have mastered him, but i plan on getting better with someone else so i don't get bored of him. I'm probably going to choose R.O.B or Zelda by the looks of things =D. Zelda's Controled fire Attack is the bomb.

Zelda has gotten totally buffed up since Melee. I use her as my main character in Brawl, and she kicks ass. Her side-B move is stronger, Zelda's faster, and in general, she's just better than her Melee counterpart.

Sheik got totally nerfed though D=

ya you can use it in the air.....what i do is right when i get knocked of the stage, i use my second jump and then hold on to side B, then when i'm a little higher than the ledge i let go, i always do it perfect.....well unless you get knocked to far, then your only hope up is his up B.....

You can charge it but like Link's Up+B you can throw it out right away and is usable in the air. I was experimenting with Ike last night and he's a really nice solid character. Has really sweet KO moves and it's possible to knock out people as low as 80% with him.

Also R.O.B. kicks just so much ass. Going to be playing online tonight with my flatmate with someone on my friends list in a 3-way match.

I just started playing this game yesterday - and am 28% through adventure mode - and it is, without a doubt, my favourite Wii game; period. The adventure mode, while it seems to be a side thought when you consider the primary aim of the game, is actually very good and, imo, far more enjoyable than Mario Galaxy - sadly I can't understand why people like this game. :/ I think the only game I like better is Zelda: TP but since I own and play the GC version, I don't really count it on my Wii list.

I haven't played much of Melee, but I have to agree that Sheik isn't as good - although s/he's (was Sheik male or female?!) not TERRIBLE - while Zelda is awesome!

There are some great characters on it! =)

The Pokemon trainer is a defenite improvement on Mewtwo as well, although I have to say there is still something to be desired as none of the pokemon are kick-ass, just cool to watch; Squirtle and Charizard are the only decent ones, but I guess 2/3 isn't awful. Squirtle can actually be very useful as you can double jump then use up and B to gain a lot of height.

I consider Charizard to be the worst out of the 3 Pokemon tbh, but I'm usually negative minded against the heavier characters.

Don't know if it's been brought up before but you can customize your games to be stock/time, edit what items are useable and basically everything else if you're
