something pretty cool which you forgot is on a lot of heavyish/bigish characters at literally 0%, d-throw uptilt works, and since you get the very latest hitbox most of the time, it's possible to get true combos out of that up-tilt, which is pretty specific, but I think worth mentioning as a mixup.
I know it has been a while since you released the video but this honestly still the best bread and butter video for post patch Ike I've found on TH-cam I've been playing smash my whole life but it's videos like this that make trying to get into competitive easier and more fun
True, but also use D- throw Up- throw F- tilt D- tilt Up- tilt Up- air B- air F- air D- air Up- b Side- b Down- b Neutral- b Up- smash F- smash Down- smash Jab
This was really helpful! I play online with my step dad (A diehard Roy main) on the weekends, and I'll be sure to utilize this! Hopefully it'll help with the copious amount of Kirby and Ness spammers we get XD
Sort of? I go for it sometimes to catch jumps and it feels true on bad airdodges, but you’re never going to get it true on frame 2 airdodges in my experience. I’ll have to test it
Great video, thank you! Can I ask what type of controller you use? My c-stick (for tilts) is unreliable. Sometimes it's input is not detected whether I use the Pro controller or the joy con. Thanks.
Solo have you tried jab locking with ike at early % landing with the last hit of Fair?... the launch angle seems good but I believe it would only work easily on big characters.
I have such a hard time starting with the up air. Like I just haven’t mastered the input. Is it just short hop, instantly up air, instantly fast fall? And are you hitting jump and A simultaneously or is there a timing thing for those? I’m a noob, sorry lol
Hey just got back into smash after years of not playing, I was a brawl player used to main lucario but started playing smash ultimate like a month and a half ago and have grown a liking to Ike, Ness, captian falcon and little Mac, rn I'm trying to improve my Ike game, I was just wondering if you guys have any recommended controller settings that could maybe enhance my game play, I use a standard pro remote. Any tips would be appreciated
Not sure how pointless this may be, but I personally play with the right stick set to tilt attacks and the left stick sensitivity set to low! It's been at least 2 years, so you very well have probably moved past this and maybe don't even play anymore, but thought I'd offer my two cents, anyways!
@@malcolmfletcher2659 At least 90% of these combos start with or contain an n-air. Also why the hell are you so defensive of ike, he wasn't trying to personality attack you, he just making a joke.
Its all about how hard you press the jump button, there’s a macro where pressing two jump buttons at the same time will always give you a short hop so I bind my right trigger to jump then press X to get short hops consistently
When you say that nair instant double jump dair at 44% is hard I think you mean impossible I’ve been sitting here for 30 minutes trying to get it to be a true combo and it never is

Which combo do you think is most important for beginners to learn?
aetherstomp, its just the most practical
backnair aether > downthrow upair > downtilt fair > the rest
probably grab combos
I like to do Dthrow aether at low percentage (less than 25%) for people who block often. This seems effective even in elite.
@@Chris-vx5kp people can SDI out of that , but is good to know if your opponent can do it or not early

I find that Down Throw to Up Tilt works on a good chunk of the cast.
I feel like these videos are made custom for everything I need to know, Keep it up Solo
This guide was really helpful. Thanks for taking the time to make it. I've been focusing on Ike to try and improve my fundamentals.

these videos are so helpful to someone like me who is barely starting to learn the advanced side of smash. Thanks Solo :-)
Ayee, maybe I might learn one or two.thank you for the refresher.

Epic vid, picked up Ike recently and this is very helpful
Great video as usual! Just a suggestion but adding time stamps to lengthy videos like these can really help.
I literally picked Ike as a secondary 2 weeks ago and was looking for something like this.
I main snake if someone is wondering.
You can get down tilt -> bair at 0% pretty consistently if you attack cancel the back air.
It helps and I mention it in my guide for the combo!
Yo my ike is about to be a real thorn in my friends side lol
Soy main ike y me encanta jugar con el, es un deleite , ya aprendi cosas nuevas
Fantastic video! Great work!
Fantastic guide as usual! Keep up the good content!
It's official
Ike is now my solid secondary
thanks man! great video!
even though i already knew these things i still watched it because its entertaining :D
I just picked up Ike as a co main with my joker, this channel is great
This was super helpful. thanks
Just started out about a month ago and really needed this. Thanks 🙏
Really informative and straightforward video! Question: does d-throw>falling u-air>fair work at 0%?
Sort of? I go for it sometimes to catch jumps and it feels true on bad airdodges, but you’re never going to get it true on frame 2 airdodges in my experience. I’ll have to test it
Great video , thanks a lot.
1:00 nice
Great guide!
What’s the background music?
th-cam.com/video/FB-Q8YRSVTQ/w-d-xo.html
Downthrow ether works from 0-30 and with a couple jabs does 30%
New player says thank you
A combos vid I just spam Nair and d-tilt into random aerial
I can’t eat sleep or breathe without a solo jones TH-cam video. Dial 1-800IKENAIRNOW if you too are lost in the sauce.
@Solojones, is it recommended to bind jump to a bumper button in order to consistently Reverse back air?
I wish this had controller cam or inputs in screen
Great video, thank you! Can I ask what type of controller you use?
My c-stick (for tilts) is unreliable. Sometimes it's input is not detected whether I use the Pro controller or the joy con. Thanks.
Solo have you tried jab locking with ike at early % landing with the last hit of Fair?... the launch angle seems good but I believe it would only work easily on big characters.
It can work but unfortunately we don’t get too much crazy reward off of it, maybe a dtilt bair or something but it’s often not worth the trouble
at 9:52 how does he instantly back air after the down tilt? i cant seem to do it
th-cam.com/video/hBS_LrwXJHI/w-d-xo.html
@@SoloJones Thank you soo much!
I love your ike
How to nair and hit with ike
How do you do d tilt -> dj bair? Like what is the input for it?

I have such a hard time starting with the up air. Like I just haven’t mastered the input. Is it just short hop, instantly up air, instantly fast fall? And are you hitting jump and A simultaneously or is there a timing thing for those? I’m a noob, sorry lol
It’s easier if you use the C Stick for the aerial
Is D-throw > Up-b a thing at low percent? I get it almost every time, or are my friends too dumb to get out of it? lol
Yeah it is true at low percents, unless they di in I think. But then, I also think you can reverse Aether on reaction to catch that.
It’s a thing if they don’t DI well, I use it to cheese stocks sometimes
@@SoloJones Gotcha, thanks for the info!

Ike combo guide : nair nair up air ... that’s it lol
That is one thing covered in the 20 minute long video yeah

@@linguine4500 Literally 90%?!? I wanna see some calculations my guy. Show your work, like they teach you in school.
How do you get him to jump so low? Every time i click the jump button Ike jumps so high
Ha! Just figured it out. Clicking X+A at the same time.
Its all about how hard you press the jump button, there’s a macro where pressing two jump buttons at the same time will always give you a short hop so I bind my right trigger to jump then press X to get short hops consistently
