Aether



Aether is a special skill that can be used by Ike from the Fire Emblem series in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It will be his Up B move, and it will work similar to Marth's Dolphin Slash and Roy's Blazer. It is slightly different, however. He first tosses his sword in the air, which will hit a player. After about a second, he jumps up to grap his sword, hitting anyone in the way. He then swipes down with his sword, in a similar fashion to Kirby's Final Cutter move. He is resistant to attacks as he performs this move; he will still take damage, but he wouldn't even flinch. The official site stated this will be common with Heavy characters.

However, in the game Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, it does not instantly knockout someone but instead gives an opponent heavy damage and recovers health equal to half of that damage.
