I haven't fought good ICs, but my suggestion is to get them desynched and thats when you strike and get them off the cliff, thats how i generally win

theres only 2 things i can say towards fighting ice climbers

1. dont get grabbed
2. kill the *****, then things become simple

seriously though, i have no good advice to give against ice climbers besides those two comical things things >.>

No, do not do the above to a good IC player. If you did that to me I would endlessly hammer swing you. I do it enough as is, and I desynch enough as is. But yes its good to get Nana off but I've beat people with just Popo. Fairly good people too.

However, the above does work if the ICs are high in damage %.

But to beat them:

1. Don't get grabbed.
2. Gimp their recovery
3. Edgehog like a madman
4. Don't get caught in a 0 to death combo
5. Dash grabbing works well, ocasionally, but don't miss!!!
6. You'll want to try and keep them off of the stage if at all possible, and attack on the recovery to the stage.

I'm talking about a glide toss into smash attack when they're at high percentages, so they're desynched in the air and can't recover as well

Like everyone is saying, don't get grabbed. Also, keep your distance. I find that offstage fighting is where you want the action to go down. While they may be a threat, they cannot grab you offstage so they lose a lot.

Ice climbers is a fair match if you know how to play well. My strategy is to keep a banana at ALL times in front of me. If he chaingrabs, he'll just slip and get like 1 rep in.

never dash grab to ice climbers thats jus asking fo a zero to death cg. banana spam is really useful vs ic's . don't make it obvious though and jus throw them. jus pull em out and stay close to em jus in case u get grabbed they slip then jus carry on from there. jus fight. im sur if u jus fight as if u never pulled them out than they will occasionally roll in to one. I beat ic's all the time its not that hard.

IC's vs. Diddy is actually a fair match-up. The two biggest things is to not get grabbed, and separate the IC's and gimp Nana. Diddy's main saving grace in this match-up are bananas which help separate the IC's(so you better get good at using them), and his superior off stage abilities allowing him to kill Nana on recovery.

EDIT:

One word of advice I'd like to give is that I've seen some Diddy players glide toss bananas towards the IC's, NEVER do that! Always glide toss backwards.

Keep bananas laying around close to yourself at all times. If they start to combo you horizontally they will eventually run into it and trip and not make it to the ledge for a spike.

You can make so much chaos with diddy that they won't be able to keep track of themselves.

Keep a very close eye on your bananas. You can't go all out with bananas on IC, because since there's two of them, both of your nanas can be picked up at the same time and thrown at you. In this matchup, I almost completely refrain from using bananas. Also don't get grabbed. Self explanatory. Keep IC's off the stage.
