For Ice Climbers, I'm not too sure how I should be attempting to space around them and when I should be using moves like dtilt. I appreciate that you have great respect for the move, but I don't want to use it in situations where it is no longer warranted (help on when to use fair and nair would also be great).

I also want to be clear on how you believe Marth should move around the ice climbers given the stage (if movement decisions change, given the stage). I've found dash dance can be stronger at a distance where I can avoid wd - dsmash, but still punish a dysync or other commitments. However, when the ice climbers are in a state of preparedness, I find dash dance can be easy to exploit.

In closer quarters, dashing away seems to be punishable with dsmash (this also leads to poor di at times), so I'm not entirely how I should be reacting, but what I have been trying to do is spacing sh instead (I've seen this from watching PPU).. All that aside, I'm not sure how I should be using the platforms against ice climbers and how my strategies will change on smaller stages like Yoshi's and FoD.

For punishes, I saw your set against Nintendude and it seemed like you were primarily trying to jump over him as he attempted to dysync his climbers and then swipe at Nana with fair. You also seemed to be approaching the ice climber shield with fade back fair, though I'm not entirely sure what reactions you are looking for when you hit them. I would love it, if you could clarify that as well.
