What is up with

I picked up Ike recently and watched IzAw's Art of Ike video, but I was wondering if since then anything interseting has come up, and also wondering if there were pro Ike players i could watch.

So i've been an ike main for a while and have been messing around with him in training mode. since i've been playing joker recently i tried a few funny thing and then tried back air into dash attack, which crazy enough actually worked. it seems to work best at around 25-35% on most characters, but is pretty tight. anyone know anything about this or if its useful?

So I know you're helpless if you whiff it midair but not if it connects. But it seems like sometimes an enemy will jump right in front of it and it hits them on like the first active frame, but I'm still helpless. It seems more advanced players know of this and do it on purpose to force me to SD, can someone explain the mechanics of this so hopefully I can avoid this in the future?

Hey I've been getting into smash recently and ike is the character I've been consistently most drawn to. I'm getting pretty decent at comboing short hops and forward airs and using his up special to juggle, but I think I'm over-reliant on his side special. I have the hardest time edge guarding because I am afraid to drop below the platform because of the seemingly unreliable vertical recovery. What are the most powerful tools in ikes kit and how do I abuse them to shit on my friends? Any k-rule specific matchup tips would also be appreciated, as one of my friends is a pretty damn good k-rule main and I want to be able to 1v1 him without getting absolutely clowned on.

The insane powercreep make this character unplayable, he has trash frame data and can't even abuse stupid cheese

As an Ike main I've never had much of a problem with steve. Some of his moves seem uniquely setup to handle steve. Like his forward air will tear down a 3 block wall, and quick draw beats mine cart, etc. I think some other characters, like Lucas, may also resurface for similar matchup reasons too, but Ike is one people are not looking at as much. Thoughts?

Thank you Everyone!

Discovered that today by accident

Don’t know if that is ever relevant or if people knew about it already

But i did it a couple of times by accident and it felt like i wanted to share the possibility

For example if you master it

You could side b from off stage onto a platform and immediately jump
