An observation and a question

Hello,

I'm not sure if this is common knowledge or not, and I checked all of the posts in the Ice Climbers thread & found nothing, so I thought I'd ask.

While in training with the Ice Climbers, I noticed that if you walk into someone (not dashing, as that would initiate a dash attack) and hit down on the c-stick, and are in the same position where Jigglypuff's rest would hit, that is to say, pushed into them, your down smash deals around 39% damage, with a total of 4 hits. Now it only works with both Ice Climbers, and I'm not very knowledgeable about DIs & such having no one to test it with, but is that not a lot of damage? I may be missing something but I tried it on a number of different characters and stages, and it seems to work consistently. I would be much appreciative if someone filled me in on this, and whether or not it's well known.

Thank you for your time, and I apologize if this was a redundant topic.

That's MAJOR damage. Keep in mind Charizard's side+b does 48% (one of the strongest attacks), so 39% is very good. It's what I used AND spammed in Boss Battles, hoping to get lucky and "sweetspot" it.

Well, in an actual battle it would be hard to get that close to an opponent. but yeah if you can thats REALLY good!

Remember you also have to land the hits with both ice climbers, which is rather hard for me, because im usually desynced or something... but yeah it's a very, very strong move.
