The '''freeze glitch''' is a [[glitch]] unique to the [[Ice Climbers (SSBM)|Ice Climbers]] in ''[[Melee]]'' discovered by [[Philly Billy]]. It is caused by performing a [[grab]] with the secondary Ice Climber performing [[Squall Hammer]] on the character being grabbed. This glitch is banned in [[tournament legal (SSBM)|tournament play]] due to the glitch allowing the ICs to attack the opponent while prohibiting any attacks or movement from the opponent.

*Primary: Ice Climbers

==[[Stage]]==
*There are no stage requirements, but it is easier to do it on a flat stage that does not move, such as [[Final Destination (SSBM)|Final Destination]].
 
==Instructions==
#Start by grabbing the opponent with the secondary Ice Climber.
#Next, the player will need to (quickly) use Squall Hammer on the grabbed opponent.
#If done correctly, the opponent will be frozen from the grab.
#Once the opponent is "frozen", they will remain in the same place, no matter how high their [[damage]] gets, until a character grab(s) and throw(s) them.

The user must have a Barrel Cannon and at least two opponents. First, the player must perform the freeze glitch on any opponent. When the opponent is frozen, the player must grab a Barrel Cannon and throw it at the opponent. The opponent should be stuck in it if performed correctly. Then, the player must perform the freeze glitch on the second opponent. Once the second opponent is frozen, the player should throw said opponent at the barrel cannon. The frozen opponent should be stuck in the barrel cannon and rack up a decent amount of damage.

The freeze glitch is a glitch unique to the Ice Climbers in 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. 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. This glitch is banned in tournament play due to it essentially removing all control from the opponent.

Barrel Cannon glitch

This is a variation of the Freeze glitch that can be used to get a large number of combos. It can be done by the Ice Climbers on any stage with a flat surface. The user must have a Barrel Cannon and at least two opponents. First, the player must perform the freeze glitch on any opponent. When the opponent is frozen, the player must grab a Barrel Cannon and throw it at the opponent. The opponent should be stuck in it if performed correctly. Then, the player must perform the freeze glitch on the second opponent. Once the second opponent is frozen, the player should throw said opponent at the Barrel Cannon. The frozen opponent should be stuck in the Barrel Cannon and rack up a decent amount of damage.

Notes

  • If opponents are hit up or down while frozen, they will slowly move in that direction, which may cause the Ice Climber to be unable to grab and release them from the glitch.
  • If a frozen character happens to pass a blast line, they will not be KO'd. This can happen in stages such as Corneria and Venom (as the stage floats around) as well as scrolling stages such as Rainbow Cruise. It can also happen if the frozen character is carried offstage by a Barrel Cannon.
  • A thrown Screw Attack will unfreeze the frozen character.
