I'm just not so good. I'm more of a rush and attack person. Ike isn't really the new Marth, he's very different from him. He's just continuing the FE tradition of a blue haired Lord, since only 2 of the games released in the states have blue haired lords, which are Ike and Marth, many people call Ike the new Marth. However, most of the lords of past games have had blue hair.
No, I don't remember. It was a long time ago.
