General ICs Q&A Thread

i have an (important) CG question.

the bthrow-bthrow works on everyone right?and its also one of the fastest chains we have and its inescapable so...

should i drop all my other CGs and just use this one?

 

[Grimice]

Hi there i recently picked up the ice climbers, my chain grabs i picked up fairly easy except the backthrow, a lot of people say they leearned the backthrow GC first, the problem im having is i grab with popo then when i backthrow to nana i make the grab no problem, now the problem im having is when i tap back again to do another back throw popo runs away making the grab impossible, from the videos i saw people just spammed this and the IC's barely even moved and just kept exchangeing grabs, what am i doing wrong????

Alternate b-throws are hard & uncomfortable on certain characters like Snake, Link, Yoshi, Lucas, etc. so maybe hobbling works on them. As for the alternate b-throw, it works with the rest who is easier to CG.

I have de same problem than you Grimice, the backthro to Nana works perfecly (on most characters), but then I can't backthrow to Popo, the only things i can do then is downthrow to popo or fowardthrow to popo, for the character like bowser or Dedede.

And most of time the opponent can just escape the grab before I throw to Nana, cause I'm to slow. So how exactly can I perform the backthrow-backthrow, or backthrow-fowardthrow, but verry fast?

 

[smaci92]

Does anyone know if {hobbling > Ice Block Lock} can be escaped before the second Ice Block hits?

 

[Diddyknight]

You cant DI out of it so i think its possible to perfom the Ice Block Lock

 

[istudying]

How can u prevent someone to get out of Ice Block Lock.

 

[JustNoOne]

You can't prevent them from DI-ing an Ice Block Lock.

Ya...I just tried it on a human snake player, and it worked---and I 0-deathed him ^_^

You cannot escape or DI out of it, but only, if the IC player messes up the Ice Block desynching. Which normally happens online mostly for some people...

 

[Barge]

Ice climber frame data please.

 

[JustNoOne]

Ice climber frame data please.

Lol there's none cause we got lazy lmao...

QUESTION:

Is there a sure-fire way to land an IB lock?
The fair can be smash DIed so that they bounce far enough to escape the lock...
I can do it if I catch them off guard, but I can never really on it?
Is a footstool setup possible?

 

[lain]

There is no way unless they don't tech, smash di, or hold a direction before the IB hits them, it's unreliable, but definitely still easy to catch most people in it the first time or two.

but no you can't ever really rely on it.

I don't believe there is a footstool setup of any kind.

I think bobbling to IBL works...do the hylian heavyweight bthrow > footstool thing and shoot more ice blocks (it turns into an IBL). what's even better, is that if your opponent doesn't know how to DI, it can turn into a moonwalk lock, and you can follow with fsmash for the kill lol bthrow > footstool > IBL's are the best setups IMO...

 

[Dev2000]

What is the fastest way to desync the ice climbers from each other?

 

[momochuu]

Dash dance desynch or Z+Back seem to be the fastest.

Those are the ones I use anyway. Stutter step is good too, but only cool people can use that one.

It's a good thing you still remember that, KB. I forgot it. :3

when your oponenet has a high percent how do you dthrow then fsmash? he always jumps to high for e to chain?

You buffer (input the command earlier) an Fsmash, you don't have to throw him and than Fsmash, you can Fsmash twice. The last Fsmash will knock him out of your grab.

 

[boredpsycopath]

sorry i was not specific enough i meant nana jump fsmash not the hold smash. when i throw them down they bounce to high

 

[Dev2000]

sorry i was not specific enough i meant nana jump fsmash not the hold smash. when i throw them down they bounce to high

then you must jump earlier to get them meteor smashed again Works for me

 

[boredpsycopath]

kk thanks i guess ill keep trying it ^^

It's your imagination; Sakurai chose them as lovers. And some people choose them as friends or siblings.

haha i was about to say the same thing xD but you said it first

 

[l!nk_aut]

hey i need some help. at the bthrow dthrow chaingrab. when nana dthrows to popo and popo grabs nana usually pulls out her shield for a very short time but my problem is the she grabs- WHY?!?!

 

[DemonicTrilogy]

Yes, I still need even more clarification about this... I think Chibi said that it is because you (popo) are doing a walking grab so nana does a walking shield instead of a grab but I'm not fully sure. Can someone correct me if I'm wrong?

Well, let me clarify this:

Nana is grabbed because: After Popo has done his b-throw, it's time for the d-throw. When Nana does a d-throw, she grabs right? Well, to make Nana shield instead of grab is move Popo and grab after Nana's d-throw. This will make Nana shield. In other words, tilt the control stick slightly to move Popo and then grab after her d-throw.

 

[DemonicTrilogy]

But don't you tilt the control stick anyways to walk the space the downthrow to regrab?....
