This is not reflected in ''Smash'', where his overall mobility is poor. [[Robin]] and [[Byleth]] underwent a similar decrease in speed in their transitions to ''Smash''. | ||

While his weight did increase considerably in ''Radiant Dawn'' to coincide with the significant physical growth he underwent between the games, he is still far from being among the heaviest units in the game. | ||

Indeed, this distinctive fighting style, and the fact that Ike learned it from Greil, is a recurring plot point in both games and a central factor in his relationship with the Black Knight. His moveset in ''Smash'', which revolves primarily around laggy, heavy-handed hits, is a major contrast to this. | ||

***In comparison, {{SSBU|Chrom}} would later use [[Awakening Aether|his own version of Aether]] as his Final Smash in ''Ultimate'' which, while also lacking the special effects, is identical to both hits of its depiction in ''Fire Emblem Awakening''. | |||

As such, he is the first playable ''Fire Emblem'' character to not appear as a Lord upon debuting in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. | ||

*Because the Spanish language does not contain /aɪ/ (as in "eye"), Ike's name is pronounced as /ˈiː-kɛ/ ("ee-keh") in the Spanish versions of ''Brawl'', ''SSB4'', and ''Ultimate''. While the Italian language lacks this as well, his name is pronounced properly in Italian nonetheless. | *Because the Spanish language does not contain /aɪ/ (as in "eye"), Ike's name is pronounced as /ˈiː-kɛ/ ("ee-keh") in the Spanish versions of ''Brawl'', ''SSB4'', and ''Ultimate''.

For example, Link's Wild Set of clothes is based on the traditional attire his counterparts have worn throughout ''The Legend of Zelda'' series, but it is not the general design used by the other playable Links in previous ''Super Smash Bros.'' games. | ||
