[Words Of Wisdom]

As an Avid Ike user I'm curious as to what other people's impressions of him are.

What do you think about of his one liners? XD  They're good.  I like the "I fight for my friends" winning statement.
Do you think he's a threat in the battlefield or just a nuisance when you face him.  He's not really that hard by himself, but his ability to KO people at low percentages makes him dangerous when he interrupts two players fighting each other.
Did you ever try using him? If so did you like him or hate him?  Yep.  I like him.
Do you think he's hard to use or extremely easy?  He's very easy especially once you realize how useful the Side + B is.
From what you gathered from facing/using him do you think he's pros outweigh his cons and could become a top tier Brawler?  Maybe.  His wind-up speed is painful but his normal A chain and Side + B come out fairly quick and his reach is good.
Any input would be greatly appreciated. ^_^

Personally I like the power, though he's speed sometimes pisses me off.
And his one liners is as corny as a hero's can get. =)
