Great Aether

Great Aether is, as its name suggests, a more powerful version of Aether which acts as Ike's Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It takes attributes from Aether, as well as a few attributes from Link's Final Smash, Triforce Slash. When Ike smashes open the Smash Ball, he starts to glow, and holds the power, until the special move button is pressed, comparable to Samus's Zero Laser. After a special move is used, Ike will slash upwards with his sword, but has to make sure he hits a player in order for it to work. If he hits a player on the way up, he will start slashing his opponent fiercely, just like Triforce Slash. He continues hitting the player for a short while, until, finally, he swipes downwards, eventually causing an explosion once he hits the ground. The range of the explosion is incredibly large, and Ike is invincible while using it, so as long as he hits a foe with his sword at the start of the move, Great Aether will work very efficiently. It is possible to launch more than two players into the air at once, but as for any player not flung in the air, they can walk around unharmed until Ike slices down. It is also possible for opposing players to attack a foe caught in Ike's attack while he's coming down.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl Trophy Information
''Ike's Final Smash--a powered-up version of his signature move, Aether. Ike faces a foe and swings his sword up for a hit, then tosses his sword into the air, performs multiple nasty strikes, and finally unleashes a mighty overhand blow to send his opponent plummeting down. It's a very impressive sight, but if Ike misses with the first upward swing, he can't use the move.''
