Starting the release, Ike was visually seen as a significantly improved character from the previous installment, where he was considered a low-mid tier character. In early competitive play of ''Ultimate'', he was then seen as a top-tier character. At that time, the game involved the prominence of disjoints, which benefits Ike as he has disjoints, courtesy of Ragnell. Thanks to this, Ike developed powerful results, especially from {{Sm|MkLeo}}. This caused him to have a positive reception, with {{Sm|ZeRo}}, {{Sm|ESAM}}, and {{Sm|Mew2King}} designating him as a high-tier character. Unfortunately, Ike has been less popular since {{Sm|MkLeo}} dropped him in favor of other characters. The general consensus is that while Ike is a good character, his gameplan is very linear and relies far too much on predictable, easily avoidable moves, such as his [[neutral aerial]].

When 7.0.0 came out, few competitive players like {{Sm|ZeRo}}, {{Sm|Mew2King}}, {{Sm|MkLeo}}, and {{Sm|Leffen}} say that he's roughly a mid-tier. Pro guides even came too far as saying that Ike is a low-mid tier like in the demo. Most players still say Ike is viable and is good like a high-tier. Regardless, this iteration is generally considered to be his best one in ''Smash'' yet, mostly seen as an upper-mid tier through a high-tier character, achieving arguably the best tournament results relative to his previous incarnations. | ||
