Ice Climbers neat tricks?

[The Hypnotist]

So I was wondering if you guys can share stuff. You know stuff like the Babe Ruth, and Nana's long moonwalk. Not very helpful stuff, fun mindgame stuff. One thing I REALLY want to know how to do is the "W" Ice Climbers taunt. I've seen Wobbles do it a few times and it's pretty ill. I've done it on accident and I was like COOL! But I didn't know what I did. So any help regarding taunt tricks or IC tricks in general are highly appericated.

Taunt

i wouldn't consider this a 'trick', but it is a neat little tid-bit (do people even say that anymore?)
the ICs are not effected by traction-effecting surfaces. they maintain a constant traction through out the battle. i first noticed this on G&Ws stage when i didn't slide across the oil ( i had done it thousands of times before but never really thought about it)

another thing (any one whose played ICs has to know this) the ice blocks increase in speed if they hit a slant. i first consciously noticed this on the DK Past Stage when i could hit a faster ice block the farther left or right i was on the main platform.

i know that you were more wondering about wobbling and the such but just needed to post this for my own enjoyment (plus i just didn't know where else to post this)


p.s. i don't want anyone telling me where i should have posted this because, honestly, i just don't care.

I don't think that's true; they still slide on the track on Mute City. Even if it's true on Flat Zone, nobody ever plays there...

If everybody who plays IC's knows this then why are you posting it? You're right though; the effect of this is most dramatic on Corneria.

Im pretty sure you dont slide on mute city either, nor on the alien/space ship on fourside. They maintain normal traction no matter what the map is

Babe Ruth is easy. Grab -> Taunt -> F-Smash. If I'm ahead by a stock or two in a match I'll try to break it out just to show them up.

The way I do the Nana Moonwalk is dashdance until Nana starts to dash in one direction then i stop dashing wavedash away. Its good against Capt. Falcon because you can do it and then say "Who has the longest moonwalk now?!?!?" If you really want to get the timing down go into training mode slow it down and you'll get it pretty easy.

actually, they tend to have slightly worse traction than normal. they tend to slip/ slide easier than most characters.

You do slide in mute city on the power strips or whatever they're called. Just try it.

noobs. noobs and people who just haven't noticed it yet.

actually, thats just there normal bad traction. its the same on any other stage. try it on, like, Corneria, or something. if you run and stop, you'll slide just like on Mute City. (Note: I was just using Corneria as an example.)

 

[Speedsk8er]

But IC has better traction on slippery surfaces. THat's what they were referring to.

 

[FrozenHobo]

got ya. i hadn't really noticed that. i thought that they just had the same traction no matter what the surface.

 

[psicicle]

yeah, the traction on one specific part of mute city is still slippery for the ice climbers forr some reason.

 

[FrozenHobo]

another thing i've noticed (everybody: *grown*) is that when one IC is thrown into the other, the game counts it as though it was a team battle, where the IC that wasn't thrown gets a small amount of damage.

fyi, I'll be posting a lot of these useless little facts (ok, maybe not useless, but you get the idea).

also, for info on how to do the freeze glitch (for non-tournament purposes, ovcource) you can go to smashwiki and look up my page on the freeze glitch (feel free to edit)

 

[Shai Hulud]

Seems the same to me.

 

[FrozenHobo]

i have version 1.2 and i can't see any difference either.

on another note, i was looking up IC glitches on YouTube and found a weird one (and i mean weird) where the ICs were fighting Marth on Corneria and there was an ice block just sliding (slowly) back and forth over a small part of the stage.
