Ice Climbers are frustrating me !

[Som]

there so slow, and so easily gimped. Its incredible how you can get ahead 80 hp to nothing and then your opponent gets a lucky hit in that sends you flying, throws a frigging banana out on the edge that hits Popo and separates you from Nana just enough so that you cant recover! A frigging banana can kill you lol. Our approaches are so risky, they are hardy ever worth it. Plus Nana has phd in stupidity. She's so slow she lags in blocking attacks. That means you can block an attack perfectly parry it with Popo and not have a chance to counter attack because Nana got hit with it and now she's flying across the screen. Not to mention the difficulty of the "Infinite" grab combo is enough to make anyone cringe. I still love em but **** sometimes its tough love lol. Seems like you have to play so much better then your opponent to get close to winning.

of course you do its Ice Climbers. they weren't ever amazing but it seems that theyre even more gimped in brawl though.

what are you guys talking about ..ice climbers where real good in melee..one of the best players in the world used them..a.k.a. chu dat..and i use icy's in brawl and they are good don't let anybody else tell u that...ill post some vids of me playing them after a couple of tournies and show u..so don't give up hope..nana is the best

Ignore these idiots. There Smash noobs, IC we're mid tier in Melee.
In Brawl, they can both grab on ledges at the same time, faster, stronger, more knockback, Chain Grabbing skills are CRAZY!

slower, less knockback, harder for icy's to out, easer to separate, harder "wobble", more difficult to get throws. lolz have you even played this game yet?

anybody that's ever lost a complete stock to a well timed banana or turnip (on the ground or thrown). Knows what I'm taking about. We have some really nasty matchups in brawl. Lets hope the metagame will evolve, like it did in melee. Remember Icy's where nothing before people discovered wavedashing. who knows what they might discover for brawl. It can be frustrating at times but gotta love the climbers either way.

This is where furthering your gaming is useful. -shrugs- What do you expect, there's two of them. If they were perfect, everyone would be them.

I played IC's in melee and they were amazing. Now in brawl they're not great, but they're definitely better than I thought. Desyncing is a little tougher with much less options and it's a little difficult to dash dance from the one game i played with them. They fell more like one character now though.

[DarkAce]

You guys are just garbage..ill play them

I've had as much success with the Ice Climbers in Brawl as I did in Melee. They are awesome.

But yeah, Nana sometimes gets a little confused, when she's lagging behind you on the other half of the stage, jumping repeatedly into a wall.

[Binx]

well, sorry to say it but ICs just really seem bottom tier this time around, it's just as hard if not harder to grab people in this game that in melee and its easier to break out of grabs, also their infinite is really hard to do even with the rare successful grab.

I just don't feel comfortable with ICs anymore so I think I am gonna go be a Marth or Sheik main in Brawl, Melee ICs still have my heart though, sorry guys.

Why does everyone say grabbing is hard to do? Shieldgrabbing is broken in this game.

[Gindler]

Ha, i love the icey's and when nana is knocked accross the level i've found that can be a godsend sometimes. Usually after nana's knocked away i'm an easy combo target but then nana will come in from behind and i'll tell her to attack screwing up the guys combo. and they're so annoying for opponents to grab because they can grab one leaving the other to do a smash attack or whatever they want to do. truly a fun unique character.

[shoshone]

IC seem to be nerfed without their wavedash. I still love them but they will be lower tier this time around I think.

[w!ld ch!ld]

ice climbers are so broken it's ridiculous tell me otherwise a sweet spot (which is not hard to do) does 44 dmg they have too high of dmg and kill ability one grab goes to a super grab for the kill and for potential they have the z grabing even if it's hard just learn how to do it and they have options for the recovory use over b if the enemy is ready to gimp you it can do wonders or if you don't listen to me that's cool too cause i don't need another ice climbers to go against.
