Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
I didn't like playing Smash Ike seriously, only ever played him casually. I also prefer young Ike to buff Ike and don't really like the voice they gave him in Smash since he was always supposed to be more soft spoken and less loud.
I prefer young Ike too but I don't mind buff Ike. He doesn't talk all that much in Smash, though I played Smash before Fire Emblem so maybe I just didn't have that problem
