This one is a real Toss up but overall i would give the 55:45 to vs 60:40 to vs Equally spaced and skilled he will kill quicker than Us in all but the best Tipper Assaults. Ike is harder to Wall out with his attack priority, and it's typically best to concede to him the spacing he commands and weave in and out with attacks with Marth/Lucina to chip him out of a stock. -1 IMO

Go for the gimps whenever possible, but a good ike will make that difficult to do.

The MU's definitively in favor of Ike because of his superior spacing tools and killing power.

Countering Aether as he recovers can be a good edge-guard option but smarter Ike's will recover low to avoid it.

That's where reading your opponent comes into play, you can run off the stage and immediately gimp him if he recovers low almost immediately, Ike has a weakness when recovering low in that if he air dodges he will almost always not be able to up b back to the edge. You can even fake him out in acting like you're going for a gimp and instead just shield his up b as it soars up through the stage and when he's on his downward projectory just counter his landing and he'll die. Marths Edgeguard is ridiculous with all characters but I would say its the anti Ike Edgeguard almost entirely.

This is entirely unrelated but those are very neat sounding quotes you have at the bottom of your comment box!
