I still have to test which moves, cause it helps us IC's to know that too. but a lot of character's dsmashes seperate the IC's...like pikachu's. but you're down b also seperates us...

what moves annoy you guys?
The moves that seperate us lulz such as your down b

what are my best aproach options?
urrhmmm...it's up to you. Try to predict what we're going to do, and find a move that will counter us.

how should i go abotu avoided gettign grabbed?
luigi has good aerials...use them. stay in the air more, use your projectile, and space well.

what do i do once i am grabbed?
nothing much you can do really...besides mash your buttons fast and move the control stick really fast to get out. but if you play a real good IC, you're gonna get 0 deathed and die...so "don't get grabbed" lulz; and I told you how to avoid getting grabbed in your previous question ;)

edge gaurding/gimping ic?
predict which recovery we are going to use...it's either belay or squall. If it's squall, charge a fsmash where you think we will land, and if it hits us, we get massive damage, and if it doesn't you should be far enough that you shouldn't get punished...another option is that you could just let us recover. If you predict that we are going to use belay: (this method has to be practically frame perfect). but popo doesn't have invicibility for a couple of frames, and when nana tethers to the edge, you can drop down and bair-stagespike popo, and then we're dead. It's not really hard to do once you get the timing right...

single ic tactics
you shouldn't have any problem against our single climber...We only have a few approach options with 1 IC. Blizzard, Sheild grab, aerials (with barely any range), and smashes. you have a huge advantage when it comes to playing 1 IC...so take advantage of every opportunity you seperate us...don't let us get synced again....

Hope I helped.. :bee:

really smaci? did you really just help someone with beating the ICs? you turn coat. >_>


but anyway, luigi's down b can separate if you hit at least half the way through, and side smash to kill.

other than that, me kill you long time.

Luigi is bound to get grabbed due to his lack of range.

I guess just keep the ICs separated, but besides that, use a counterpick?

Make lots of use of platforms, they help, trust me :o

Hmm... I guess with Luigi, if you can manage to keep the fight in the air then you should do fine.

Escape/DI out of it or shield it, but Squall eats shields. :lick: Blizzard's the same thing... but I don't think you can DI out of Blizzard when you're frozen, because you ARE frozen, and you can't exactly move out of it.

yeah, ggs. i would have been able to pressure you more/ not accidentally desync and die as much had the lag been better. you're pretty good, but ICs are just not a good matchup for luigi. (plus i don't cg, so you don't need to worry about that from me)

Uhm guys, why not take it to the visitor messages instead of posting? I think it's kind of unnecessary because the thread's turning to a chat and we're kind of getting offtopic since this is a topic where you give tips on beating the ICs with Luigi; sorry for the minimod also. :/

Eh, anyways, if my sister stops using the Wii I can probably play you.

I could use help vs IC as well. I main Yoshi. I learned the grab and egg lay = bad idea the hard way. xD.

Although, I once played a match.... funniest thing ever. I won even though I should have lost. I used the IC for the match, the opponent used Bowser. He KO'd the primary Ice Climber, then taunted. But as I was going through the air... right before I went into the "Star Finish" Bowser was KO'd by Nano, the 2nd Ice Climber, to give me the win.

I found it hilarious.

If you do grab an IC I would recommend a f-throw as it will often hit Nana knocking her away as well.

Nana's tether pulled Popo up, so I got spiked by his down taunt. But that was only once. Oh by the way, he mostly played on Smashville...

GGs.

Well, since I fought WiGi, let me answer some of the questions.

Q: What moves separate the Ice Climbers the best?
A: After we've fought, Luigi Cyclone isn't necessarily the best way to separate them, but... such as if Nana is running to Popo nearly, and Luigi uses his cyclone, probably they're going to separate, but if DI it perfectly, probably one will get hit on the ground and one flying sideways.

Q: What moves annoy you guys?
A: Well, obviously his smashes?

Q: What are my best approach options?
A: Grounded Luigi Cyclone's best, but sometimes it can be shieldgrabbed or punished.

Q: How should I avoid being grabbed?
A: Stay in the air, if you're only in the ground as always, the ICs will use on of their approach options to a grab instead of running into a grab.

Q: What do I do once I am grabbed?
A: If you're being chaingrabbed at lower percents, mash the buttons. Higher percents won't make you escape the grabs, unless Popo or Nana does the charged smash from a throw, mash it as fast as you can.

Q: Edge guarding/gimping the ICs?
A: Well, one of your aerials can edgeguard the ICs pretty well, but I don't think he can gimp them right, unless your edgeguarding them, they might be gimped if their recovery messes up if desynched.

Q: Single Ice Climber tactics?
A: Uh, SoPo can chaingrab into an f-smash all the way to the edge, and probably the SoPo player might get defensive because he doesn't want to be killed.

Hhm, any CPs that ruin their CGs... well, to be honest I don't really know. :ohwell:

And I do think Luigi's good on Lylat Cruise and Battlefield, he has more space to use more aerials and it can ruin the ICs, but once they're completely on the ground, they're now in shape.

I'd say any of the Samus stages do a good job of disrupting chaingrabs (Frigate, Brinstar, Norfair.) Brinstar has a smaller KO zone than normal, making Luigi's kill moves even more deadly.

Rainbow Cruise also works because Luigi's pretty strong in the air.

Luigi can also abuse the platforms on Battlefield and Lylat pretty well I think.

I don't know where Luigi does best in general, but the first 4 stages I mention the Ice Climbers generally do bad on.
