Ike is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He was officially confirmed on June 12th, 2018.

Ike now has new voice clips in both versions of Ultimate. Michihiko Hagi reprises his role in the Japanese version, and Greg Chun voices Ike in English, the latter reprising his role from Fire Emblem Heroes and replacing Jason Adkins who voiced him in Brawl.

Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

Aesthetics

• As with all veterans returning from SSB4, Ike's model features a more subdued color scheme. His clothing now features simple detailing, similar to Brawl.
• Ike's appearance as a Ranger in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance - the basis of his appearance in Brawl - is his default costume. His appearance as a Hero in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, which was his default design in SSB4, is now an alternate costume.
• The model for his Radiant Dawn appearance is largely unchanged, though his muscles seem more pronounced.
• Ike's voice changes depending on the costume. In the Japanese version, Ike's voice is deeper and more masculine in his Radiant Dawn costume. The difference is barely noticeable in the English version.
• Ike has a new idle animation, which is more similar to his idle stance in Path of Radiance.

Ground attacks

• Up tilt has significantly reduced ending lag.

Aerial attacks

• Neutral aerial has reduced startup (frame 12 → frame 10).
• Forward aerial has reduced startup (frame 12 → frame 11).
• Up aerial has reduced startup (frame 14 → frame 13).
• All aerials have significantly reduced landing lag (neutral aerial 14 → 8, up aerial 15 → 9, forward aerial 18 → 14, back aerial 19 → 11 and down aerial 23 → 14).
• Up aerial is now a wide upward swing above Ike's head, similar to the rest of the Fire Emblem cast. Compared his previous up aerial, it has a wider arc and faster startup, but does not last as long.
• Forward aerial has increased ending lag and no longer autocancels in a short hop.

Special attacks

• Eruption now produces multiple pillars of flames at high enough levels of charge.
• Counter now gives off flaming visuals from Ragnell after Ike performs a successful counterattack.
• Great Aether is significantly flashier, with a dark blue blackdrop alongside flaming visuals. Before the final hit, the victim flashes with blue light, and the landing eruption now appears significantly more cartoony, with fewer smoke effects.

Trivia

• In the segment in which Ike uses Great Aether from his character showcase video, there is an error in which his portrait displays him in his Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn outfit despite currently being in his Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance outfit.
