Rofl, actually pulled off in a match.
Skip to 2:26 if all you want to see is the infinite, but I advise you to watch the whole thing.

We did not create nor name this technique.

I think it's commonly referred to as Ice lock. It's been done before.

edit: however, I am confused as to how Pikachu got stuck at one spot for a few seconds.

 

[Bros229]

yea, its pretty much the same as a falco laser lock

The Pikachu just DI towards the Ice Climbers instead of away off the stage.

Wow, I get this off in the majority of my matches... Its not that hard to pull off

How much damage would the lock usually rack up? Also, when doing the lock, is it better to do it in a down throw? I'm asking this again because I've always wondered what throw to use when you are spiking someone into the ground.

 

[Bros229]

how exactly is this pulled off?

 

[DemonicTrilogy]

Ok, basically, you grab the opponent, then you make the AI Ice Climber jump using a jump button. After making the AI Ice Climber jump, you immediately do a down throw/ forward throw (most people seem to do down throw) using the control stick while the AI Ice climber is occupied by the jump command. Then, you do a forward smash with the AI Ice climber to spike the person into the ground. As the AI Ice Climber is spiking, you use ice shot. By the time you start ice shot, your AI Ice climber should land behind you, allowing you to do a desynced ice shot chain, therefore locking the person in the lying down animation as you are pummeling them with ice.

Does anyone know if you should C-stick the spike command or not?

Press X, press down, press forward a, rapidly press B. Nearly instantly, but with a rhythm. Slight variances for different characters.

thanks for simple version gofg, lol

It would help if you guys made a video tutorial showing what you did with your controller.
Not maybe with this cause the timing for this is pretty easy to get down, but for other hard stuff like alternating throws.

nice, that was cool!
