I've been playing them for about 2 weeks. Hardest technical aspect is Alternating throws, and I hit those about 80% of the time at this point.

Hardest part overall is approach to land the grabs, especially against defensive players.

In melee it took me months to get them down to a good level. Years to get really great with them.

The transition to brawl took me two hours... and I still pretty much use everything I learned in that 2 hours of training mode/level 9's in how I play today.

Yeah im with Chok, it took months to get used to them in melee and they didn't change enough in brawl to make it that much harder.

yeah really ive only been playing with them for like 2 weeks since the games new. i mean i played with them a little in melee but u cant play theyre not the same at all just like most characters in the game.

all i did was go in training mode and did chaingrabs over and over and then play people to get better at everything else with them

My Melee IC are LEAGUES beyond my Brawl IC. It's kinda depressing when I look at myself play. It took me monthes to get good with IC in Melee but I relied alot more of their desynchs to combo and stuff. I'm certain that I'm not playing them correctly. For me, IC changed ALOT in the transition and it'll take me even longer to get good with them. But... I gotta keep the faith. I'm not giving up on them. Pray for me, guys. ^_^

Im 'completely' on the same page. IC's in melee were my main for about 4 years, and i am ****. While i am not 'bad' with my climbers in Brawl i am noticing its taking me alot longer to get to a point where i feel im at my melee caliber. Tryin to keep the faith.

I just picked them up again recently, they have some interesting buffs form their last game, most specials are better now, and smashes are still pretty good. I was scared to use them for a while because i thought their nasty wavedash was the only reason they were good before, luckily i was mistaken.
