Ike vs Joker

In the matchup against Joker, focus on maintaining stage control and using Ike's powerful aerials to punish Joker's approaches. Be wary of Joker's ability to edge guard, as his fast aerials can easily intercept Ike's recovery options; try to recover low and mix up your timing to avoid getting spiked. Use Ike's range to your advantage, spacing your Fair and Bair carefully to poke at Joker while avoiding his combos. When Joker’s Persona is active, prioritize avoiding his kill setups and look for opportunities to punish his cooldowns after he uses moves like Gun or Rebel's Guard.
