Ice Climbers Final Smash

[Mad555]

its awsome, i don't see how any one can escape it

 

[kinghippo99]

uhhh... jump?

 

[Hmaal]

uhhh... jump?

Did you not read my post? Eventually you have to come down.

yeah. it will be very hard to escape

 

[Hmaal]

What makes it better is when it happens, you might not have any time to react and cause damage. So if you try to aviod it you still will get hit.

 

[Darkpaladin of Chaos]

Fox? His is just hard to turn around.

Sakurai exaggerated that a bit. In the demo it seemed quite easy to turn the Landmaster around.

 

[Eagle]

It will be hard to escape but the platforms are still there, just smaller.

 

[Lightning Ice]

You might be able to dodge the final smash depending on how quickly the Iceberg and if Nana has to be close to you like with their belay to start the final smash. There also seems like there will be lag time to start the final smash like how Pit has to pray. But overall I think it will still be tough to dodge something so huge.

 

[Demoncannon]

i agree, if you have a iceberg also as big as the screen falling down it is practically impossible unless you got a kirby super star to avoid the move. Does the iceberg stay till the end of the match?

 

[Hmaal]

Were not sure but most likely its going to be still and have a pretty decent time of being out.

 

[ryquil]

I think that it will be really good... Because they get hit automatically, meaning they'll have lag. lag = oppourtunity...

 

[Princess Diana]

it's a nice final smash but isn't it kinda powerless against OTHER ice climbers?

 

[Hmaal]

True but most people won't pick the same character.

 

[ZachSoup]

It’s not going to be the same game, who knows, ICs could become a popular choice to play as if the mechanics favor them. Besides, this time we have something to base off what their strengths could be and how we can utilize them, unlike when they were first introduced to melee and generally unpopular.

Also, I'm a little skeptical on ICs being immune to other IC's final smashes; I could imagine it being able to affect your opponent, regardless of who it is.

 

[Hmaal]

The attack would still harm them but they would be immune to the slippery ice.

I read the post, and I slightly agree. Considering the characters like Peach, Kirby, Meta Knight, etc, I doubt it will last long enough than to hit them more than once or twice. If it does, then this FS will completely wreck all the other characters that can't stay airborne near as long.

 

[Talendime]

Last I checked, they were higher up on the tier list

Well good for you then

??

 

[Noshiee]

well, atleast your ICs will have freezing powers, and the others won't, thats a pro

Do the ice climbers have like slip-proof shoes?

 

[MirageofMadness]

Do the ice climbers have like slip-proof shoes?

In this image you can see that their shoes have spikes on the soles to dig into the ice, so it seems they do have slip-proof shoes, or at least, all evidence points to it.

 

[Talendime]

That's what I thought.. I'm quite confident that those spiked boots are just there for costume and don't alter the characters' grip abilities..

Or else that foot stool jump would be pretty deadly to poor little Kirby there eh?

They do... This was even in melee you know, they were immune to low traction surfaces like the space ship on onett (That's the stage name right?) try it yourself

No that was the other one it was actually Fourside with the UFO.
But that's cool. I didn't know that.

 

[Mambo]

I like an arena type smash that gives them an advantage for a bit. It'll be fun to use it. Though hopefully other players as climbers wont be able to not slip. Though getting the ball might not be that easy because these guys arnt the most agile.

 

[Zjiin]

I don' think this was brought up, but from telling by the pictures, no one including the ICs can stand inside the iceberg meaning everyone gets pushed away. The first and third pictures of the update shows them in the air, possibly falling. Does this iceberg shoot them up? I really hope this won't put them as much at a disadvantage as it does for those the FS is intended to hurt.

 

[kidhurt3]

Does any one else but me think their final smash is awesome, i mean cause damage, taking over the screen, and having a slippery advantage c'mon!?

Your thought's.

*raises hand*

 

[Hmaal]

Thank you!

 

[Demonplant]

i think its cool. What else are they going to make there special. Flaming dashes of lightning?????

 

[N1c2k3]

It's kool, but my idea would've still be better...

 

[Hmaal]

What was your idea?

 

[Goopygoo]

What will happen on Delfino? Will the iceberg follow the platform or something? AND WHAT ABOUT NORFAIR?

 

[Kind Dedede]

well in Delfino i'm sure no smash ball is going to be popping out while they're traveling, or really any items besides the common ones. And if it does, then yes.. it will be the iceberg known as glacier who happens to move the same direction, speed, and intent to hurt you as Iceberg.

Norfair, eh, it'll just keep a licking. What are the Ice Climbers doing in a lava pit anyways? They're cute, but not cute when that wall of lava comes barrelling down...

The Final Smash is going to own, i can't wait to play as them with it

 

[gangstajuice02]

nice cool thread ey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Noa.]

Awesome FS with a lot of potential.

 

[KaptKRool]

IMO, its the best shown so far.

It's like 3-4 FS's in one. It does damage to those hit, it alters the stage shape, it freezes some fellars, and makes the terrain slippery, giving IC an advantage.

I'm the most impressed with this one, it makes me excited to keep them in my "pretty good with" roster.

In the commercials we've recently seen from Japan, I think they showed the Ice Climber's final smash being used in Norfair just because its a minor "WTF?" moment. There's all this lava and a tidal wave of lava coming from the back, but suddenly this giant iceberg rockets up from the lava below.

 

[iron blade]

The FS looks like it has potential. Especially on Norfair, but I think the whole FS is just a WTF moment in general.

 

[Airgemini]

It seems to do a lot of damage.

 

[Williampettysan]

It's a awsome FS, lot's of potential. :D

To people who say what if Nana's gone? Well, Sakurai is not the kinda guy who would let a Final Smash go to waste. Nana will most likley reappear.

 

[Deleted member]

I like it. I was expecting an avalanche but, this seems good to.
