Ike is a character from the TBS/RPG Fire Emblem. Ike first appeared in Fire Emblem 9: Path of Radiance, and returned in Fire Emblem 10: Radiant Dawn. Ike first started out in a sell-sword company known as the Greil Mercenaries, run by his father, Greil. After the nation of Crimea is attacked by the forces of Daein, Ike is thrown into the conflict, which pours into into surrounding nations. In the end, Ike kills the mad King Ashnard of Daein and ends the conflict. His role in Fire Emblem 10 has yet to be confirmed.
Ike was announced Super Smash Bros. Brawl on August 1st, 2007, making him the first new character to be announced only on the Dojo webpage, as opposed to earlier newcomers that were first announced in videos and trailers. He is shown in his "Ranger" class outfit, weilding the legendary sword Ragnell.
Moveset
Special Moves
- B-Eruption
This move can be charged for devastating power. The move is seemingly based upon Marth and Roy's normal special attack, which consisted of a charged strike.
- Side B-Not Specified
- Up B- Aether
Ike throws his sword up in the air, leaps up, and swiftly plunges down. For a short time during the attack, Ike will not flinch when he is attacked, but still take damage.
Aether is based on Ike's "Occult," or ultimate special ability in Fire Emblem 9. It consisted of two strikes, one that negated defence and one that abzorbed HP from the target.
- Down B- Counter
Though not offically announced, a move similar to former Fire Emblem characters Marth and Roy's counter was shown by Ike at the "E for All" convention. Nintendo has not made any other comments on this move.
Taunt
Super Smash Brothers Dojo has confirmed only one of Ike's taunts, in which is thrusts his sword into the ground and crosses his arms. It is assumed that this is the "Down-Taunt" but it has been yet to be confirmed.
This Taunt was also shown in the Fall 2007 Nintendo Conference video of Super Smash Brothers Brawl.
Final Smash
Ike's final smash is called Great Aether. It is much like Aether, his normal Up-B attack, but ignites his sword as well as damages characters caught in the landing impact.
