Maybe i'm just poorly informed but there seems to be a lack of information regarding the Ice Climber's fair. All I've found is: "Can meteor smash if sweetspotted" and "Can meteor smash the opponent if landed properly". How does the sweetspot work to determine if the move meteors or not? From play testing it seems like you can connect in almost any position and a meteor is possible (above, in-front, and beneath the climber(s))

The "Hammer Slam" (those official names, lol)

Each of the 4 hitframes have 3 hitboxes: one small one along the front of the climber's body and a larger hitbox along the hammer's path, which is split into an inner (hilt) and outer (head) area.

I'd like to assume the sweetspot is the inner portion of the hammer's hitbox, though it overlaps a great deal with the inner hitbox. Either way, what are the most effective techniques to connect with it? Consider the common fair oppertunities: SH, Dthrow, Fthrow, etc. into Fair.

What's the deal? I want to ally-oop dunk my opponents and own the court, lest you forget.
