Note the number of hits.

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 secondary Ice Climber and doing a side special attack into the character being grabbed. This glitch is banned in tournament play.

Characters

  • Primary: Ice Climbers
  • Secondary: Any

Items

  • Screw Attack (if players accidentally trap the target in a block of ice by using a freezie or by attacking, this will "unfreeze" them from the ice block).

Stage

  • There are no stage requirements, but it is easier to do it on a flat stage that does not move.

Instructions

  1. Start by grabbing the opponent with the secondary Ice Climber (this can be done far more easily in Training Mode by slowing down the game speed).
  2. Next, the player will need to (quickly) do a side special to the grabbed opponent.
  3. If done correctly, the opponent will be frozen from the grab.
  4. Once the opponent is "frozen", he or she will remain in the same place, no matter how high his or her damage gets, until the player, or another character grab(s) and throw(s) him or her.

Notes

  • While characters are frozen they will not respond and will not be able to attack.
  • If opponents are hit up or down while frozen they will slowly move in that direction and may cause the Ice Climber to be unable to grab and release them from the glitch.
  • On the Corneria and Venom stages, frozen characters will float around the stage until the glitch is fixed (i.e. grabbing them).
  • If frozen characters gets out of the screen, they will not die nor come back on the stage. This might happen in stages such as Corneria and Venom, as well as moving stages. It can also happen if a Barrel Cannon is thrown on the frozen character.
  • If this is used on Training Mode, it is possible to get infinite combos.
