The '''freeze glitch''' is a [[glitch]] unique to the {{SSBM|Ice Climbers}} in the [[List of regional version differences (SSBM)|NTSC versions]] of ''[[Melee]]'' discovered by [[Philly Billy]]. It is caused by performing a [[grab]] with the trailing Ice Climber and then quickly using [[Squall Hammer]] with the leader. It can also be done if Squall Hammer is used by the leader while the follower is being grabbed, rendering both the follower and the other character frozen. If done correctly, the opponent will be frozen in place and unable to do anything aside from take damage; the only way to free the opponent is by grabbing them or by throwing a [[Screw Attack (item)|Screw Attack]] at them. This glitch is banned in [[tournament legal (SSBM)|tournament play]], due to it essentially removing all control from the opponent, as well as guaranteeing victory if the player performs it with a stock lead or tie (as the player could then let the [[time out|time run out]] with the lead while the frozen opponent would be powerless to do anything).
