Since I will be attending a tournament in 2 weeks I need help with the matchup DK vs IceClimbers. The people I will fight against are at least quite decent but I don’t need to fear them (even looking forward to **** my girlfriend’s Falco) but recently a friend of mine who will also be there picked the ICs and I just got three-stock’d.
I watched the Bum vs ChuDat matches on Youtube and collected opinions about the ICs in the “worst-matchup” thread and after doing so I started to think that I as a Donkey have no favourable points in this matchup which kinda pissed me off…
I quote four of the opinions which I thought can be discussed controversially.

I think ICies are my least favorite matchup with DK. The back air just doesn't work (and maybe that's why I don't like this matchup, because back air is all I do), grabs don't work, and you get comboed like nobody's B. But actually, I haven't done this one much at all and I imagine ground slap or stomp could be useful.

Ice Climbers: DK's grab game doesn't work. DK's use of BAir doesn't work. Therefore, DK doesn't work.

In the end, we Donkeys have no grab game, no bair game, hell, no game at all. They, the ICs on the other hand, have ugly grabs, ugly uairs and retardedly sick fsmashes to pull off. Relying on the Punch is certainly to be abused if you’ll do it all the time. This is at least my opinion when I played against ICsDK loses to ICs as Sheik Loses to ICs [because of] no grab game.

b airs are **** against IC's. Camping with b airs works really well on them. Run away and charge the giant punch and spam b airs. This isn't as bad of a matchup as most people might think. And the giant punch almost always hits nana, and down b works really well against the ic's. You can even ko nana instantly if you manage to grab her when she's away from popo. You can jump off the edge and throw her forward or down and she can't recover by herself. I think this match is not that, dk has much worse fights

In addition, I think it rarely works, I tried it against my friend’s IC but I had just no clue at all what to do… Surprise probably played an important role because I thought he would pick Zelda/Mewtwo but nevertheless I dont want people to **** me so hard…
Can you give some intelligent advice?
