Ike (Fire Emblem)

"I fight for my friends."

- Ike

Ike is a character from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, the third Fire Emblem game released in the Western World. He is also a new playable character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. He wields Ragnell, his two-handed sword in one hand. Ike is the third Fire Emblem character in the Super Smash Bros. series after Marth and Roy. Ike is a very powerful fighter - one of the strongest, but he is also quite heavy and slow. Many of Ike's Special Moves are very similar to Marth and Roy's special moves from Super Smash Bros. Melee, but have a few changes to them.

Solid Snake Codec Conversation

 * Snake: This swordsman's gonna be tough to beat.
 * Colonel: Fighting Ike, eh, Snake? Ike is the leader of the Greil Mercenaries. He may look too refined to be a fighter... But he has one heck of a sword arm.
 * Snake: Yeah, he's swinging that two-handed sword around with only one hand. I don't even want to get near him.
 * Colonel: That's the holy blade of Ragnell. It's an extremely powerful sword. But don't forget, Snake, you're armed to the teeth yourself. To your opponents, you might just be their worst nightmare. The distance between you and your enemy is a crucial element in battle. Using that distance can give you an advantage against some enemies.
 * Snake: Yeah, I've got the same feeling...

Trivia

 * The symbol that appears on the ground when Ike enters a battle indicates that he is using warp magic. Warp magic uses a compound known as "warp powder" to transport users from one place to another. The Black Knight (Ike's nemesis) was the only one seen using it in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance.
