'''Ike''' is a playable character in the ''[[Brawl]]'' mod ''[[Project M]]''. As Ike's first appearance in the series is as a fighter in ''Brawl'', his general speed has been significantly increased to fit the mechanics of ''Project M''. In particular, Ike has had his combo starting abilities buffed, from his more versatile quick-draw to his low lag back aerial and quick up aerial.
'''Ike''' is a playable character in the ''[[Brawl]]'' mod ''[[Project M]]''. Since Ike's first appearance in the series is as a fighter in ''Brawl'', his general speed has been significantly increased to fit the mechanics of ''Project M''. In particular, Ike has improved combo-starting abilities, such as a more versatile [[Quick Draw]], a less laggy back aerial, and a quicker up aerial.


Ike ranks 25th out of 41 on the [[Project M#Tier list|official]] [[tier list]], at the top of the C tier, along with a marginal drop from his position as 23rd out of 38 on the ''Brawl'' tier list.

==Changes from ''Brawl'' to PM==
Ike has been significantly buffed from the transition from ''Brawl'' to ''Project M''. His ground speed has been increased and many of his attacks have decreased startup and ending lag greatly increasing his overall speed and making his attacks far less punishable. All of his aerials have greatly decreased ending lag and they can now all [[auto-cancel]] in a short hop which when combined with the introduction of [[L-canceling]] greatly improves their safety. The hilt of his sword is now stronger on all of his attacks giving his attacks more strength when used at close range.
