I'm a literal goddess when I play as Samus, it's very rare when I do poorly using her. I always either win or get a very close second when I'm playing using Samus, it all depends on what other characters the other players are using or who I'm fighting against. Ike is a -blam!-ing beast...I mean the dude's got everything, he's fast moving (though sure, some of his attacks are slower than his actual movement speed), he has good jump, good range, [i]excellent[/i] launch ability, and of course there's the fact that every single one of his moves packs a truly massive punch. All around one of the better fighters in the game, though I've never quite seemed to get the hang of him :/
