IC vs Sheik

[Special K 554]

Well, I went to a tourney recently (I'm no n00b, but I'm not the best) and did decently in teams, and was going great in singles until....

I had to play against Chu Dat!, who used Ice Climbers. They tore me apart and finished with 4 lives left over. 4. It was only a 5 stock match! Arggh!

Umm, so, can sheik beat good ice climbers? I just couldn't do anything against them, since

1.) It's hard to grab them, since they're two of them.

2.)They can out projectile you

3.) Their WD is crazy and can lead to CRAZY dmg from grabs....

Any help? I don't suck too bad with Sheik, but I am stumped on how to beat these freaks. Is it better to just use another char?

Ice Climbers pwn sheik, but for some reason I have trouble against shieks. But if anyone ever beat chu with sheik then the world would like split in half and satan would emerge from the core and start butt****ing everyone. So just pick Marth against IC's, and everything will be allright. Oh btw I really envy you for getting to play Chu... I wanna play his IC's so bad :(

Uh, this is one match where, if I were a Sheik player, I would go Zelda to take on the ICs. Seriously, she does a lot better against the IC pair than Sheik does. Once you kill the friend you can always go Sheik, which would work out better because of the chain throw.

Noooooooooooooo, 1 Ice Climber can still chain grab teh sheiker. You just have to be really uber good. I can chain-throw you with one ice climber while playing starcraft and eating a sandwich. But ya, Zelda is better against teh climbers of the 2.

i suppose one of IC's greatest strengths is it's ability to juggle while on the ground AND be able to rack up % in a little amount of time, given the right timing. why, with just one simply down-throw and a well timed forward-smash with both Nana and Popo can do up to about 40% in less than 10 seconds.

i enjoy playing as ICs too. what i like to do is to not mind Nana at all. while Nana is VERY important to have around, don't break your neck trying to recover her from death. i see Nana as an add on to Popo ^.^ does that make me stupid? i dunno. was able to beat a Fox with just Popo when i was at 156%, which is quite a lot for an unskilled IC player >.<

Noooooooooo always save teh follow Ice Climbezor. Once you learn all kindza crazy-cool de-synch comboes, you'll be feining for nana like crack. Don't get me wrong, having a good solo IC is just as important as being able to do crazy **** with both of them, but you should always save nana, unless you might get both of them killed in the process. And don't ever just focus on one IC and let the other one run around on crack, you gotsta touble-team nugga.
