Ice block Spam

[Reside]

I used the search function and did not find anything relevent on this, nor have i seen any videos on it (although i dont watch IC videos to often).

Im sure alot of people already know of this but for those who dont

when you are in mid air and iceblock you rize alittle bit, and when you land it cancels alot of the down time.

so... 1.get on a platform 2. press down 3. press b
the iceblock should get you back on the platform and ready for anouther iceblock much faster then SHiceblock or just standing there ice block

i find the best speed is when your as low as you can get with the iceblock still getting you onto the platform

I am able to do it dysnched but only popo is doing this technique and nana stays on the platform

I use this in my game often, but i dont just get up there and start to spam. Just keep it in the back of your mind and use it when the oppertunity pops up.

Jesus, why are the IC's so **** complicated. I just thought it would be like grab...take stock, but now there's desynching and ... what the hell have I stumbled into, there's too many ... no .... stop.

On topic, good find, I will definitely try to use this, but fail and lose Nana

Not new, but worth mentioning! Good stuff hombre.

And thank you for re-bringing it to the attention of the forum. Every frame counts.

I've never heard of this, thanks. *runs off to desynch platform drop Ice Block spam*

 

[Delphiki]

Hmmm... I can't have Nana do it either. Has anyone else succesfully had Nana do this?

She'll drop through the platform but no Ice Block.. I wonder why....

It's like when you first start a match.. as you drop from the little teleporter thing, only Popo will launch an ice cube.

Old thread I know, but I figured this out yesterday and was going to make a thread but decided to search first.

I found a couple other interesting things about platforms and ice blocks. It's probably all known, at least to someone, but perhaps not widely known.

On Yoshi's Story and other stages with similar platform height you can desynch and have Nana drop down and shoot ice blocks from the platfrom and below it.

On Battlefield if you are on the edge of a platform and wavedash exactly in the SW or SE direction and fire an ice block you should platform cancel it.

You can desynch landing on a platform from below while launching ice blocks but it's not that easy...

Hmm...can't remember anything else right now. This is probably all known anyway. Share some more platform/ice block pseudosecrets if you have any.

Here's a secret:

Iceblock people trying to sweetspot the edge. It annoys the heck out of them LOL.

Unfortunately there's usually no following up on it.

lolzlz, i love doing that to recovering marths... With d'syncd blocks you can get like 7 good hits...

Im gonna try to wavedash the blocks so i can come in with a smash or a grab...

This has won me matches before.
I mean, the ice blocks didn't kill him, but he got annoyed and jumped right into an fsmash.

 

[pockyD]

yeah, people will panic and up-b early if they get hit by an ice-block while close to the edge

The question is why?

Might have something to do with how no CPU will ever do anything while dropping through a platform (until they hit ground, i think)... Since nana is a CPU who just somewhat follows your commands she probably has the same limitations.
