The Ice Climbers (アイス クライマー, Aisu Kuraimā) are a starter character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Mostly unchanged in gameplay from their Melee selves, the player directly controls Popo while Nana mimics his actions a split-second later. The duo's two-in-one gimmick gives them a surprisingly large damage output and a huge bag of tricks, mostly through the use of desynching in order to control the two individually and set up a plethora of chaingrabs that in the hands of an expert is basically equal to a KO. Despite being vulnerable should the secondary Climber be KO'd, the constant threat of 0-death chaingrab shenanigans puts the Ice Climbers 2nd on the current tier list. (more...)
