Ike in Super Smash Bros. 4
Universe	Fire Emblem
Other playable appearance	in Brawl
Availability	Starter
Final Smash	Great Aether

Ike (アイク, Aiku) returns as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. 4. He was announced on May 23rd, 2014, in a Pic of the day post. Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones was released the same day in North America in 2005. Rather than using his design from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance as was the case in Brawl, his appearance here is based on his appearance in the game's sequel, Radiant Dawn, wearing the same outfit as that in his Hero class, and looking older and significantly more muscular.

Changes from Brawl

• Ike is slightly heavier than in Brawl.
• Quick Draw's mid-air slash no longer leaves Ike in a helpless state.
  • However, Ike is still forced in a helpless state if a mid-air Quick Draw ends without attacking.
• When using Eruption, Ragnell will now shine when it has reached its full power before becoming completely charged, providing an indication of when to release it without suffering recoil damage, and seems to charge very slighty faster.
  • It is also weaker.
• Dash attack is stronger.
• Neutral air is slightly sped up.
• Forward air has slightly less start up.
• All throws deal 1% more damage.
• Down smash is slightly stronger.
• Foward tilt deals 1% less damage.
• Quickdraw is weaker.
• Jab combo deals lower damage.
• Aether deals less damage.
• Great Aether's power has been lowered from 78% to 60%.
• Most of his moves that involve flames have changed to be a blue color, rather than a red color.

The following moves remain visually unchanged:

• Dash attack
• Up smash
• Forward aerial
• Aether
• Counter
• Down taunt

Special Moves

In Super Smash Bros. 4, special moves can be swapped out for different variants, but Ike's have yet to be seen in action. He retains all of his original special moves. These are Ike's special moves:
