Ike (アイク, Aiku) is a Fire Emblem character making his first appearance to the Super Smash Bros. series in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. As revealed in the Smash Bros. DOJO!! on August 7th, 2007, Ike is a powerful character who wields a two handed sword Ragnell in one hand. Ike is the sole protagonist of Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, and one of the two protagonists in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. His sword Ragnell appears in both of his games and can only be wielded by him. Ike is the first playable Fire Emblem character in the Super Smash Bros. series to speak English (as the remake of the very first Fire Emblem game, starring Marth where he speaks English, was released after Brawl). Additionally, he is the first Fire Emblem character available as a starter character in the Super Smash Bros. ser
