Ike (SSS)

:This article is strictly about how Ike appears in Super Smash Stadium. For information about him in general, see his article on the Fire Emblem Wiki.
Currently the last of only two Fire Emblem characters to appear in Super Smash Stadium (in sharp contrast to the epic boatload of characters in the actual Smash games), Ike is a playable character, who debuted alongside Arena Ferox on the show's 17th season premiere.
==In his own universe==
Currently the only Fire Emblem protagonist to not be a royal in any way, Ike is instead the son of a man named Greil, and is part of his band of mercenaries. FE:PoR follows his exploits during a conflict known as the Mad King's War, which takes place on his home continent of Tellius. Ike lives in Crimea, a minor kingdom on that continent.
Ike's sword, Ragnell, is meant to be held with two hands, but he is capable of wielding it with just one.
==Attributes==
Ike is the polar opposite of Marth. He is all power, and just like Marth, because he uses a sword, many of his attacks are disjoints and have incredibly long reach. He pays for this immense power, however, by being slow. The stereotypical heavyweight, he can live to some high percentages, although he isn't quite as good as Bowser. Despite having a better recovery than most heavyweights, Ike's jumps are poor, and he has next to no air game whatsoever.
Also, Ike's crowd chant is arguably the most unique among the SSS cast: it goes "We like Ike!", a reference to, of all people, , a U.S. President.
===Changes===
...Yes. Over time, he's been reworked to be more like his character in the Fire Emblem games, making him faster but slightly weaker.
===Moveset===
Entrance: Spins in on a warp circle and unsheathes his sword.
Move Name	Description
Neutral Special:
Eruption	Ike stabs an opponent with his sword, and burns them as well. Hold to charge the move; it reaches full charge in five seconds. At full charge, it instantly breaks shields and does insane damage, as well as leaves behind flame pillars up to three steps away for a second on either end of Ike; however, Ike will do 10% to himself. Before Season 36, Ike used a swiping motion similar to Marth; currently, he holds the sword above his head and stabs down into the ground.
Kills at 50%.
Side Special:
Quick Draw	Ike rears back, then lunges forward quickly. You can also charge this move for up to five seconds, increasing the distance Ike will travel; however, if an opponent gets close enough, Ike will unleash the move automatically. Can be used as an alternate recovery, but if you don't hit anyone with the move, you'll be left helpless. Also, the move has high cooldown lag if you miss with it.
Kills at 120%.
Up Special:
Aether	Ike flings his sword way up into the air, rapidly jumps up to meet it, somersaults, then slashes down. Does nothing on the way up, but Ike does have Super Armor there. Anyone hit on the way down takes damage and is dragged down with him.
Kills at 75%.
Down Special:
Counter	Ike assumes a defensive stance for a second. If he's attacked during this time, he intercepts the move and pays it back by 1.2×.
Its ability to kill depends on what he countered.
Final Smash:
Great Aether	Ike performs an upward sword slash. Anyone caught by it is taken to the top of the stage where Ike slashes them over and over again; he then slams them back down to the floor hard enough that they likely die while they bounce back up. Any bystanders who are on the ground when the victims land also get hit.
Ashley Variant: Whereas Ike just yells out "GREAT...AETHER!!!", Ashley does the move in total silence before calmly telling her victims "You ain't shit."
Kills at 65%.
