Hey guys,
So I have to admit it, I've fallen in love with the Ice Climbers. To many, they aren't that great, they are the underdog characters of the game, as such, they don't sit well with many people. This could be for a multitude of reasons, one, they aren't the best pick-up and play character, as they take time to master. Secondly, let's face it, the Ice Climbers aren't exactly "cool" or "bad-***", and some people pick characters based on look.
Needless to say, if you're into the Ice Climbers, you know why you like them. They're versatile, once you get to know them, not to mention there's a wealth of combo opportunity with them. What makes them unique is their ability to de-sync, and once you've mastered a few approaches, they are hard to defend against, in addition to being difficult to read read. However, de-syncing is not their only strong suit, they also have absolutely stunning grab potential. Though, don't be fooled, their grabs take practice and skill.
Lately, I've been playing online with a friend, and I must say, I'm new to the WiFi scene, as of the last two weeks or so. All in all my experiences aren't bad, at first I experienced unrelenting lag. These days however, the only lag I experience is button-delay, which isn't really lag at all. This button-delay doesn't effect me with the majority of my characters, though, the Ice Climbers are another story. Pulling off alternating grabs is very difficult for me, though when I execute said grabs offline, I do quite well. In fact, I feel that the majority of their grab combos are made more difficult because of the button delay. One of my favorite finishing combos is alternating grab to Nana, then Popo charging usmash to Nana throwing opponent into the usmash. I find that this is a tad more difficult to pull off with the button delay.
Am I the only one to experience trouble with this? It could just be me. I suppose the only way to get around this is to play more online matches with the intent of practicing the grab combos with the button-delay. I am new to the Ice Climbers in general, so maybe timing is just something that I need to work with in general.
What do you guys think?
