I use mostly olimar, and I was vsing a good ice climber last night, he grabbed me and I went from 0 to 100 percent damage. Then I was smashed while popo grabbed me, the only reason I won the match was because lag messed up the ice climber players grab So is there anyway to escape this death trap or is it hopeless once you get grabbed @_@

Try and use DI to the best of ur ability but if the ICs are rely gd it's extremely hard to get out of it unless they make a mistake. Like u sed chaingrabs are hard to do online but my best advice is to try and not be grabbed in the first place

Nope. once you get grabbed, you're screwed. good thing their grab range is trash, but it gets annoying when all they do is chase you around the stage desperate for a grab >_>

the thing is camping olny works so long, i had to rely on my yellow pikmin to set up some combos, but when I tried grabbing popo, nana got in the way >.> I think I won by ether smashing them upwards or an up throw with a purple pikmin. NO yeah it was an up smash. Gah I though being hit by a spammy pit was bad.

When you're graabbed, the best thing to do is to mash the buttons and/or hope he messes up the CGs.

When fighting ice climbers.... this is what you do
When both are alive:
1. Dont get grabbed
2. dont grab unless you have perfect situation, and when you do, IMMEDIATELY throw them or the other one gets angry and hits you.
When one is alive:
1. Gimp the recovery.... GIMP IT!
2. Feel free to grab the lone icey

Really... You're only hope is to separate them...

Seriously... it's the ONLY option... Divide and Conquer...

Once you get grabbed... you're screwed unless they screw up. the Chain Grab....

Edit: Just like illinialex24's Sig with Jigglypuff says... go "Nana ****" happy... O_O

Thank you. I was just gonna tell you to watch my sig lol for how to beat the IC's. Split and go for Nana. This is because she is not controlled by a human and is much easier to attack. Popo **** is stupid unless he is offstage and vulnerable, while Nana is not. In almost every situation, try to attack Nana.

What was that popo doing? It didn't look like he knew how to save nana, or try and get his opponent off of nana (where in that situation he had multiple options and multiple times).

But yeah.

I think it was because Jigglypuff was footstooling while Popo attempted to do the Recovery...

I'm sorry... but while Nana was being preoccupied with **** (O_O) Popo couldn't do a **** thing about it...

Other one. The one on the right, is my friend who isn't the best IC. He has almost no tech skill with them and thinks hes good for some strange reason. But that clip is too much ****.

I always get ***** when Meta Knight gets Nana (my primary) off the stage and keeps Popo (secondary) away with his stupid quick, lagless attacks. I can't recover that way >_<

If you knew what you were talking about, you'd know that popo can rescue nana from being in footstool animation with sideb or upb. It was simply too late for that popo who (as alex already said) was very slow to react.

But would Nana be rescued while the Footstool is being started up?

From my experience, it's just like using the Up B while nana is being hit...

But then again... I AM a smash n00b when it comes to this technical stuff...

Please enlighten me... (seriously)

No wrong IC. The one on the right is the bad one, the one on the left is actually very good. Barge vs. my friend. Barge has great mindgames and has all the tech skill needed to work with them, and he knows how to use them. The one on the right is my ****ty friend lol.

Yeah nana can't escape the initial animations of being footstooled, you just simply made a mistake where you jumped down too early. Usually I run off and UpB just close enough to the edge where even if I manage to **** it up somehow, Popo still lives.

Yeah, I loved that combo. Though feel free to insult the guy on the right who suicides badly trying to save Nana when tried to save her way too late.

Don't get grabbed.

If that fails, try to mash out of the grabs. If the IC holds you too long before throwing you can mash out. Or hope he ****s up.

Yeah it's pretty much hopeless if he's doing it right.

Super grab break can sometimes save you when they're charging a smash out of a grab for the kill. Clack c-stick back and forth while rotating the analog stick.

Yep. This is why some IC players I know miss that Usmash. I always cg to a higher percent so I can do a slightly charged one.

I just downthrow (nana) and do a running charge upsmash (popo). You have that small window to trip, but i found that more reliable to kill at low 100% area if your really nervous to cg at higher percents.

You should never do that actually. Like...seriously stop doing that right now lol. That chance to trip and the fact that they have more time to break out is going to lose you a tournament match some day.

If you just Dthrow or Fthrow to nana you can start charging when she catches them. You don't have to move at this point, just charge for a second and then Back throw. They can't break out when you are throwing them so this allows you to charge it almost all the way while they are being thrown. Especially if they are heavier. It is by FAR the most consistant and safe way to kill with IC's.
