According to [[Masahiro Sakurai]], Ike was not intended to be on the roster early on. Rather, Sakurai devised a blank character template of a slow and very powerful swordsman, and wanted a new ''Fire Emblem'' character in ''Brawl''. When discussing the potential new ''Fire Emblem'' character with [[Intelligent Systems]], it was suggested he use Ike, owing to his status as the protagonist of the then-latest two games in the series. Upon this suggestion, Sakurai considered Ike, and saw him to be a perfect fit for the aforementioned character template, leading to his inclusion as the new playable ''Fire Emblem'' fighter.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120621110302/http://www.geocities.jp/bgrtype/gsl/words2/dairantosmabrax/smashbrothersx.html Great Fray Smash Brothers X 2008 blog post]</ref> | According to [[Masahiro Sakurai]], Ike was not intended to be on the roster early on.
