[There are 15 new challengers in Super Smash Bros Brawl. This series will feature each new contender and rank them on their fighting potential with the Infendo Smash-O-Meter! Spoilers are present, so be careful if you wish to remain unspoilt.]

Ike

Making his debut in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, Ike became leader of the Crimean Liberation Army.  He returned in Radiant Dawn to share the spotlight with Micaiah.

Game Appearances:
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn

Ike brings mastery of a two-handed sword, which he can apparently use with just one hand.  His sword might be tough, but he may not offer enough variety to make him a worthy adversary.

Based on potential to win the brawl, how would you rank Ike?
