Properties of Ice Climbers forward smash (spike)

[The Hypnotist]

How exactly do you spike with this move? I remeber seeing a video with a grab and a spike at the egde, how eactly did this work? What part of the hammer has to be hit for a spike to be excuted? Thanks!

Nana wasn't fsmashing, she was using a sh fair which has a meteor.

 

[The Hypnotist]

excuse me that's what I meant, can someone explain the properties of the fair.

 

[Pasqual]

Ah, alrighty. The fair, if I'm not mistaken, meteors towards the end of the animation at the head of the hammer. Getting it to work out of a throw is a matter of timing of practice, but you're usually better off using something else out of the grab.

On the edge, you can f-throw to f-air, which with the right timing meteors the opponent. However, it can be meteor cancelled. Good if unexpected though, like against friends.
