Aether is Ike's Up B attack in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. He first throws his sword in the air. During this time, he can take damage, but cannot flinch. After the sword hits the apex of its trajectory, he jumps up, catches it, and comes hurtling towards the ground. It appears functionally similar to Kirby's Up B move, the Final Cutter. While it gains very little horizontal distance, it is a decent recovery move, for as Ike's sword reaches the top before Ike, it can hit anyone attempting to edge hog and give Ike an opening so he can leap up and grab a ledge. The attack if initiated in close range hits the opponent upwards and sucks them into a multi-hit combo in midair, which finishes with a spike when Ike swings the sword down.
