right now I,m stuck between maining puff, ice climbers, or fox.

as puff I feel like I have space animals and slidy chartcers down well enough that it,s mangeable, but struggle againast falcon, sheik, and marth more than needed. but really I lack the hard punishments I could/should go for

ics- feel easier to use against marth/falcon, but i,m more or less stuck with appling what they need to do and i,ll have to stick with them for at least a year before I can expect real results so keeping them under the back burner for one or 2 niche match-ups while working them is possible, but i,d rather go all or nothing for someone.

Biggest problem with them is as fox/puff I have better di because I can buffer asdi more and I aim to sdi about every possible cghance but as ics there,s too much buffering for other stuff or I can't mash B while buffering great asdi and preapring to sdi. but I love how they have a 1000 gimicks that overlap to be used in every case. like watch ics dittos and notice that lack of a pattern because they kindof mold around each other more noteably.

Fox lets me abuse my hard reads more with less results, but I can really abuse his platforming with ledge cancels and bairs. like I knock someone onto a platform and they sheild I can bair edge cancel to a nair to kick them when they slide off.

but I lack exp against anyone who isn't fox or a low tier

Fox is better, IC's and Fox are actually my 2 favorite characters to use. Learn fox 1st, he will teach you the game, IC's play by their own rules, and knowing how the game works before you learn them will help you play efficiently vs everyone else.
