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''. | *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.

**Great Aether would eventually make its way back to the series in ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Engage}}'' as Emblem Ike's Engage Attack. However, instead of being a series of attacks before hitting the ground, the animation is more like his normal Aether before sending a massive shockwave that lifts rocks from the ground. | |||
''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Heroes}}'' has followed similar naming conventions to Great Aether when introducing upgraded versions, such as Radiant Aether for Ike's "Legendary" variant. These upgraded skills are exclusive to each Ike variant and cannot be inherited to other units. | *''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Heroes}}'' has followed similar naming conventions to Great Aether when introducing upgraded versions, such as Radiant Aether for Ike's "Legendary" variant.
