fighting without grabs

[Rykard]

hey i recently picked up ice climbers and have been experiementing a lot with all the crazy chain grab stuff and grab combos that they can pull off.

however, in many of the matches that ive played as them, i find it very difficult to get a kill or even rack up a decent amount of damage when i am unable to land a grab on my opponent.

so basically, what are som tips you guys can give me that will improve my game and chances of winning when grabbing is completely out of the picture?

De-Synch. Smell it, breath it, Master it. Its awesome. Its the nex best thing. Ice chasing (De-synch > B > Chase) Iz a very good approach. So r solo squalls and Blizz workz 2 I suppose.

I kno meh fav. combo 2 do iz De-Synched Ib > Solo Blizz > Solo Squall > Utilt > Uair. Its jus 2 beasty. Of course its escapable wit good DI tho. Usualy I only do Blizz OR Squall, gettn both iz a lil risky eh.
U have many possibilities and u shud jus go wit the flow really.

The quickest Desynch I use personally is the Pivoted IB. So ye.. 4 spacing I use the roll/grab 1. (Idk the name) Its the erm, Z + Roll at same time. But ye, u shud kno these, if not read t3h guide.

Also try Chain-Smashing 4 the kill, jus dun overdo it .

Aerials. N-air for fast approaches, B-air for foes behind you or if you do the 'moonwalk' technique and F-air if you're attacking from above. De-syncs are really helpful as well, this is just another general tip. ICs have incredible air-play. Psy.
