CPU opponents tend to get hit by this move, even if not caught in the initial strike. When they try to "add to the woes" of one caught in the move (as Sakurai suggested at DOJO), they do not understand to get out of the way when Ike plummets down, and get caught in the explosion.

==Origin==

Oddly, this move has never been seen before in the ''Fire Emblem'' series, although it may be inspired by several elements of Ike's story. Aside from {{s|fireemblemwiki|Aether}} being Ike's mastery skill in ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance}}'' and ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn}}'', it could be based on the final blow Ike deals to the goddess {{s|fireemblemwiki|Ashera}} in the end of ''Radiant Dawn''. For this attack, Ike uses the power of the goddess {{s|fireemblemwiki|Yune}} to finish Ashera off, which wraps him in radiant blue fire and is the basis of the title given to Ike in the game's epilogue ("Radiant Hero" in English material, "Hero of Blue Flames" in Japanese; both come from the title of ''Path of Radiance'' in their respective language). The actual attack finishes with a downward plunge at Ashera, which is similar to the final hit of Great Aether. While the fires of Great Aether are regularly colored in ''Brawl'', ''Smash 4'' changed them to be blue to match ''Radiant Dawn''.

==Trivia==

*When Ike first appears in [[The Subspace Emissary]], he uses a regular Aether on the [[Ancient Minister]] to destroy the [[Subspace Bomb]] that he is carrying. However, in the English language version of the cutscene, he yells out "Great Aether" instead of "Aether". This is because the voice clip of "Aether" in Japanese is split in two parts between the characters (天空 ''Tenkū'') and the extra word was used to fill the line. (The word "Aether" in English also has two syllables, but it arguably would not split as well.)

*As with [[End of Day]], it is possible to [[self-destruct]] with this Final Smash if it is used on a custom stage that has a gap in the center.

**When 3 pairs of [[Ice Climbers]] are trapped in a Great Aether, it is possible that the bigger space of characters can save them from being KO'd and save Ike from SDing on these types of stages. This can occur since all the characters trapped will make a wider collision bubble that can be hit by platforms that would not usually be hit with fewer characters and commence the final hit.

**In {{for3ds}}, if Great Aether is used on [[Gaur Plain]] or [[Gerudo Valley]] after the bridge has been broken, Ike will instead bring the opponent above the closer side of the gap so that he doesn't SD.

***An exception to this is if the player activates Great Aether during the Float Islands phase of {{SSB4|Dream Land}}, where Ike and the opponent will dive straight down to the blast line, resulting in a self-destruct; Ike must be facing right and standing on the left side of the stage for this to be successful. The same applies to {{SSB4|Cloud}} with [[Omnislash]].

*In {{for3ds}}, if the Final Smash is used on Metal {{SSB4|King Dedede}}, he will lose his metallic texture.
