The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters. |
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted. |

From SmashWiki, the Super Smash Bros. wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search
- This article is about the Ice Climbers' appearance in Super Smash Bros. Melee. For information about their Super Smash Bros. Brawl appearance, see here. For the CPU Mode, see NANA (CPU Mode).
Ice Climbers (アイスクライマー, Aisu Kuraimā, simply Ice Climber in Japan) are characters in SSBM.
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.
- 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 unaffected by traction-changing landscapes
Cons
- Slow dash; reliant on wavedashing for speed
- 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
- Have poor traction
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.
