Added ledge trapping and edge guarding to the guide as distinct sub-sections. Short answer- don't go off stage unless you mean it!

Can confirm the jab interrupt is a great whiff punish, and the timing is easy enough that it can be done online.

I added the jab desync to the desyncs guide and also to the parts where it is applicable- if GimR's to be believed, it's a great out of shield option and whiff punish, something the Ice Climbers sorely lack in their synced stance kit!

Made some updates to the OP- if anyone has great examples of high level play to replace these old vods with, please add them to the thread. And if anything looks under-developed or wrong, please write something better and I'll add it to the OP!

Matchup thread would be a good idea. Unfortunately, after playing ics and getting to see others really do impressive stuff with them, I'm thinking that I need to rewrite basically the entire guide. I was hoping someone would come along and point out where mistakes were made and help write a...

Good read! Will definitely try to lab up-throw to up-b, one of the most challenging parts of maining ice Climbers is kill confirms. Smesty on the ICs discord streamed last night about uptilt to upair, which can be used to consistently kill confirm at high percentages if you connect both up airs...

Desyncing happens pretty naturally throughout the match- there are several points where Nana and Popo will fall out of sync for a specials, during throws, or after movement options, where you just start throwing out two offset moves. I definitely believe they're a viable character without...

I'm awful at the dashback / quick forward smash behind you, getting it maybe 1 in 10 tries. However, after practicing a bunch I'm getting the dashback / grab / spot dodge / forward smash almost reliably, and it can kill a super heavyweight like Bowser at the edge of FD at 90%. Feels real good

I got completely wrecked by Bowser Jr the other day. I wasn't even mad, I saved a replay and want to pick him up now.

I'm looking for the Wendy board- is bowser jr an echo of hers?

I'm also having a ton of trouble reproducing, even with frame-by-frame mode in practice. Can someone help break it down further?

These desync combos are disgusting (good stuff at day 3 i.e. 0:43 seconds)

I've found Nana's AI to be pretty unreliable. The belay is super safe if you recover low, but getting Nana resynced when you're both already in the air is very challenging.

I'm repurposing this first reply to act as a general repository of stuff that needs to be recorded, but may not quite fit in the above guide / be labbed out enough to actually be added as canon. Miscellaneous: Ice Climbers Ice Block / Ice Shot Semi-Infinite...
