I'm working on a theory here of a potential Ice Climbers strategy. The premise is too let the secondary Ice Climber do all the work for you through various de-synching methods. This has the following advantages:
a) You aren't putting yourself in the fray, so you have less chance of dieing.
b) You won't get any damage from the secondary Ice Climber being hit.
c) Distracts your opponent letting you go in for the kill.
d) Allows for an easy Hand-Off.

Simple concept, but could it work? Also, does the secondary Ice Climber have his own percentage? Or does he share it with you?

if they grab nana you cna't punish it if you have her off doing her own thing so marth could d-throw f-smash her away.

you can only hand-off by edges.

she has her own life bar otherwise it would be pretty broken on nanas part.

she can't DD/WD/charge smashes/or move around a lot so she would be worse than just one ice climber.

plus nana does a lot of dumb things on her own.

de-synce are hard and take a lot of skill to do right and vs some people you simplely can't de-synce vs someone camping or fairly faster. Plus your forgetting other things like the 6 frames of lag and how over all people outrange the ice climbers and if you have no movement options and just stand there like a tard it doesn't matter has amazing your range is your going to get F***ed up.

Fair enough.
