Ike: Difference between revisions

Line 154:

** While ''Smash'' makes Ike a heavyweight fighter, his weight state in ''Path of Radiance'' is relatively low. 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.

** In ''Fire Emblem'' games, Ike practices a uniquely agile and fluid fighting style, prominently featuring many flashy acrobatic flourishes, made most apparent in his animations as a Lord in ''Path of Radiance''. 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.

** Ragnell's powers in the ''Fire Emblem'' series were totally replaced in ''Smash'': its long-range shockwave attacks in ''Fire Emblem'' were replaced with the fiery [[Eruption]].

** Ragnell's powers in the ''Fire Emblem'' series were totally replaced in ''Smash'': its long-range shockwave attacks in ''Fire Emblem'' which is similar to [[Blade Beam]] were replaced with the fiery [[Eruption]].

** As Ike's up special in ''Smash'', Aether loses both of its special effects from ''Fire Emblem'' and only consists of the first sword-throwing hit.

***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''.

Line 161:

*Ike is the first ''Fire Emblem'' character in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series to be a [[starter character]].

**He is also the first ''Fire Emblem'' character to speak English in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, and the first one to have a change in voice actor.

*Ike is the only ''Fire Emblem'' character in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series who has an up smash that is not an upward thrust.

**Prior to ''Ultimate'', Ike was also the only ''Fire Emblem'' character who has an up aerial that is not an overhead swing.

*Ike appears in several downloadable chapters as an {{s|fireemblemwiki|Einherjar}} in ''Fire Emblem Awakening''. This includes all three of the aptly named ''[[fireemblemwiki:Downloadable content in Fire Emblem Awakening|Smash Brethren]]'' chapters, which [[List of Super Smash Bros. references in other franchises|reference Ike's involvement in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series]].

*Ike and [[Ganondorf]] are the only characters in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series to revert to an earlier design used for their debut appearance in a later installment.
