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 an 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. When 7.0.0 came out, few top competitive players like {{Sm|ZeRo}}, {{Sm|Mew2King}}, {{Sm|MkLeo}}, and {{Sm|Leffen}} say that he's a mid-tier. Most players still say Ike is viable and has placed on above-average tier lists such as upper mid-high tiers like {{Sm|BestNess}}, {{Sm|ESAM}}, {{Sm|Dabuz}}, {{Sm|Maister}}, and {{Sm|Samsora}}. 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]]. Regardless, this iteration is generally considered to be his best one in ''Smash'' yet, achieving arguably the best tournament results relative to his previous incarnations. | 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.
