I want to do a signature and other image edits like the ones I see on this forum using GIMP. Is there a tutorial out there?

The biggest problem that I have is when someone is landing back on stage. When they do, they airdodge into a powershield or another dodge. Either way, the biggest problem is trying to hit through the frames. If I do an FSmash or a USmash upon them landing, I will always miss through the powershield or dodge. I can never hit them on the land.

Secondly, trying to hit someone after a raged strike only ends up with me being negative. If I'm not close enough to jab them, if I attempt to FTilt or dash-grab, that also misses, leaving me in a bad state. What do you guys do to punish?

Landing the kill seems to be the biggest drawback for me. I would love to just throw FSmashes all day, but without the right timing, the enemy will go beyond 100% and play more defense.

Pretty sure he's still among the bottom of the barrel, tier list or not. If there's any solace to Ike's chances at being a remotely usable character, it's that Meta Knight is banned, making only Snake, Luigi, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Mr. Game & Watch, Falco, Kirby, Ganondorf, Sonic, Zero Suit Samus, Wario, and Yoshi his only tough matchups.

He's free to every reversal in the game. You mess up a Smash, he counters, you block that counter and punish with your own. Take away his recovery, and there's literally nothing left of Ike.
