Chaingrabs against Zelda

[Kataefi]

Hi Ice Climber mains!
The Zelda boards are disussing how to avoid chain grabs from the ice climbers and we invite you to post what you think here:

Our questions to you are - what are your concerns when attempting to grab Zelda? What are her scaring moves? How would you avoid these and initiate grabbing?

Post here or in the thread. Please note this is not a matchup discussion =D

Thank you!

Hmm, being an IC main who once mained and still uses Zelda someone often i can say the obvious moves are her best moves. Smash smash smash! IF you don't want to deteriorate these moves though, which is understandable, use her priority moves such as Dtilt (its almost instant and stops the IC's before they are in grabbing range i believe). Also, short hop nair is good because it lasts until she lands giving it many chances to connect and possibly split the IC's. Short hope Nayru's Love works well too against IC's and many other opponents.

I'd say an IC user who can't get through your smashes to grab you would use Squall hammer or SH Blizzard to damage you, because SHBLz. does alot of damage if timed right and you aren't reflecting it, and Squall Hammer has a few super armor frames making it possible to break through Zelda's higher priority moves as well. But these don't lead to grabs usually, just a substitute for actually getting the grab.
