Aight...so it doesn't take as much purported "skill" and you may beat people who are seemingly better than you with this infinite. But only seemingly better, wanna know why? It just means they don't know how to work around the grabs, ALWAYS. Or don't have the tech skill to do so. Tech skill with different characters can get you different results with each respective character. With sheik, for example, tech skill of average level will allow one to ascend in tourney level play just as long as you play smart, the same cannot be said, in most cases of space animals. Similarly, the ice climbers require, in a sense, even less tech skill which gives them some breathing room in tourney play. Moreover, they have a serious drawback in that if your opponent effectively targets one of you and dispatches 1/2 of the team of IC's you are left gimped. I'm just saying where would the IC's be without the infinite...yah they have pretty sweet chaingrabs but they don't work on everyone. In other words those characters that the IC chaingrabs don't work on, lets say Falcon would pretty much have them at a complete and utter disadvantage yielding them essentially unable to defeat a falcon of same or even slightly worse level. This is assuming the falcon plays smart, and even if you play smart are outclassed by speed. Do you want the IC's to have a chance against their counters? Isn't it cheap that falcon can up-air your nana across the stage to a knee? How bout fox up-airing your nana through the roof?
The IC's are better off with the infinite and it makes us better when playing someone who uses it. Yah it's annoying....but hey there are alot of annoying things that other players can do to. People don't like to feel helpless, that's understandable, but at the same time getting over that feeling is what makes one a better than average and eventually great tourney player.
