Special Moves
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Advanced players can do massive damage
- High-damage grab combos, including ones that can kill opponents from 0% damage
- Because the Ice Climbers are actually two character models, players can "desynch" the Ice Climbers, thereby allowing them to perform attacks individually.
- Nana provides advantages for certain items that other characters don't have. For example, a Poison Mushroom can only shrink one Ice Climber, leaving the other one at full power.
- Nana can be somewhat of a shield for some attacks
- A variety of edgeguarding options
- Strong ground game
- Very long wavedash
- Opponents have trouble grabbing an Ice Climber because the other Climber can interrupt the thrower
- Immune to low traction surfaces, such as ice
- Can do an infinite grab known as Wobbling (generally tournament legal).
- Can perform the freeze glitch (not tournament legal).
- Have some of the best chain throws in the game.
- Are able to grab two items at once instead of one.
- Single most powerful move in the game, A down fully charged and timed right does 53% dmg and is a 4 hit move.
Cons
- Nana can be killed at low %s when ICs are seperated
- Nana can be unresponsive at times
- Popo loses many of his advantages when Nana dies, such as his ability to combo and kill as effectively
- Ice Climbers are awkward when forced to fight in the air
- Easily disrupted by projectiles
- Single Ice Climbers are floaty and vulnerable to air combos and juggling
- Low ranged
Special Techniques
Desynching
- Main Article: Desynching
Desynching is a technique that involves separating the two Climbers' animations and controlling them individually, allowing them to do different techniques at the same time.
