I got 99 problems

And Ice Climbers are one. I went to a local Smash Fest today, and the guy I played first round switched to ICs game 3. I immediately thought "Oh, ICs are pretty bad in PM iirc. This should be fairly easy since I'm about on par with this guys skill level." I proceeded to get rekt. Hard. So I would like to know from all the other members of the Squirtle Squad if there has been an overall problem with ICs as Squirtle and how you fight against them.

I've actually never seen an ICs before in tourney... But please elaborate, what exactly happened during the match?

Dude, Squirtle, in my experience WRECKS ICs. Enough mobility to get between them and avoid getting grabbed, with good multi-hit attacks to split them up. Hit 'em with a hydropivot downsmash and go after whoever's weaker, take to the air as much as you can, and never stop moving.

Withdraw and grabs were rendered useless by Nana Fsmashing after I hit/grabbed Popo. Dsmash split them up enough to only be able to hit one but they were still synced so I got hit by any and all of ICs aerials, they could wavedash Dsmash after dodging any attacks that I used.
