Each of the duo rolls forward and slams their mallet down overhead. It appears to be another case of a "slow but strong forward air that spikes" in a similar vein to Donkey Kong, Yoshi, or Cloud. It has surprisingly low landing lag for a move of its kind. This on top of its major shieldstun make it unreasonably safe, giving the Climbers a 3 frame advantage on shield. As such, it's one of the safest moves in the game. Despite leaving next to no openings afterward, their forward air does not give up on power in the process. The move deals staggering damage, almost thirty percent if the partner's sweetspot connects, and has solid launch power as well. | |||
While it's main purpose is as a low-risk kill move, the Ice Climbers' forward aerial still has its fair share of combo potential, both into and out of it. Thanks to its low landing lag, it can lead to a dash attack at low percents to rack up colossal amounts of damage with the aerial strings that follow. Despite its lengthy windup, it's also possible to use forward air as a combo finisher out of a down throw or up aerial at certain percents. This can lead to a relatively early KO if the sweetspot lands on its victim, and leads to great damage either way. | |||
While the move's coverage and activity are disappointing, its extreme upsides greatly outweigh its questionable hitbox placement, making for an overall great attack for a variety of situations that even has important and respectable use in its weakest state. | |||
