Ike (アイク, Aiku) is a character appearing in the upcoming Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Revealed on Smash Bros. DOJO!! on August 1st, 2007, Ike is a newcomer to the franchise. He is the protagonist of Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, and also appears in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. His sword from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, Ragnell, is a two-handed sword but he is known to wield it with one hand, showing his incredible strength.


Role in The Subspace Emissary

Not much is known about Ike's role in the Subspace Emissary but in a recent video he was shown fighting the Subspace Army in some Ruins. Ike is also presumably the first character to directly attack the Ancient Minister, causing him to drop his Subspace Bomb, now a dud. [1]
