Blizzard (ブリザード Burizādo) is the down special move of the Ice Climbers in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
Overview
The controlled Ice Climber stays put on the ground and shoots out a stream of frigid air from the palm of its outstretched hand for about a second to damage opponents in front. This move is mimicked by the CPU Ice Climber if it is with the human-controlled one, and the CPU Ice Climber will shoot out Blizzard in the opposite direction while standing behind the back of the human Ice Climber.
If used in midair, the CPU Ice Climber's Blizzard will be used in the same direction as the human Ice Climber's, making it more powerful. This attack does ice damage and a good amount of hitstun when it connects with an opponent at a distance, and can freeze opponents very nearby, but the freeze effect does not last very long. Of course, this move also has more range than most of the Ice Climbers' melee attacks. This move can rack up to 18% damage if all hits connect.
Description from the Melee instruction booklet
Attack as a pair with a freezing wind that shoots out on either side of you.
Description from the Brawl instruction booklet
Do this with both Ice Climbers to produce a blizzard attack that covers you from both sides.
Origin
Like many elements of the ice climbers this move was cannibalized from the kirby games. Kirby's Adventure: "Kirby can freeze enemies with his cold breath! He can then throw them into others!"
