ok like chek dis out

dere is lots of ways to approch with ise climber cuz like they have rly gud wavedash wich make them able to approch with gr8 speed and strenth esp. with their grab and smash

what u du when u paproch u just wd toward opponent and slam c-sticK! this is great effectivity of strength and sped cuz there is moments ur opponent will never shild attack

also there is way to approch wit wd and jabbing cuz like if u jab sometime opponent will b hit and it set up grab for u where u can use CHAIN GRABBING and DEATHS!!

dat is my davice for u i hope it rly help in your ise climber game cuz dey r rly good charactre

Grr wish I had thought of that when I saw this post, I just chose to ignore it completely rather than take advantage of the hillarity that could have insued.

I am a Marth player so my advice stinks

Actually approaches are pretty easy with ice climbers. Just wavedash into your smashes and grabs, dash attack, Ice Block Chaser to get people shield and then you can grab easily. And use some mindgames to get your oppenent where you want them to be and to confuse them.

as for Me I like use the blizzard desynch at times because it has a little bit of anti-air to it.

fine w.e i ll use proper english haha
ok what about against swordsmans? they ve got these huge *** reach that makes jabbing kinda useless...especially marths...-_- & i really dont think that wavesmashing will cause some good followups since all you can do is tech chase after that..

Against Marth I like to lose really fast so I can pick Shiek, against Roy I like to win really fast so he can pick Peach.

Seriously though, Roy is garbage you can CC his aerials into grabs and he is much laggier and has to play a more risky closer game vs ICs, against a solid Marth with good spacing its very hard to land a hit, I notice that I use a lot more rolls in this match up and I probably shouldnt, if you manage to land a grab do your best to put him in the air so you have a priority advantage, level with and above Marth he has a lot more reach than you and thus a larger priority, when you are below him he doesn't have many options, I like to dash dance a lot and if the Marth messes up his spacing or timing you can go for a grab, also you can shield plenty against Marth just wait for oportunities to have the other IC shield grab him if he grabs, you can't really go towards Marth safely, but he can't really approach you safely either, when either is still the other cant effectively approah, if the Marth DIs towards you with Fairs you can dash dance grab. If he is stationary or moves away you can't do anything about it. If you block a DIed towards you fair he has two choice double jump or fair again, if he fairs again you should have time to grab him, if he double jumps you can short hop a uair unless he jumps away from you, if he does that you can gain some ground but it isn't really safe to go within his sword reach unless he is in lag.

this isnt really an approach, but a good way to stop them when they're shffl'ing towards you is using the desync'd blizzard, and unless they're at a high percentage, it sets up for a pretty easy grab. i use a lot of ice block chasing for my approach, tho.

Ice Blocks are horrible against marth because he can easily and safely jump over them forward tilt them or forward smash through them and hit you.

true by all means, but if you can stagger them out properly from the air, it seems to help. at least on my end, i feel it's safer than wd'ing around near tipper distance, bc god knows nair isnt going to help. granted, i'm open to suggestion.
