That and the fact that 9B has looked more and more vulnerable in videos that have been coming out if you've watched closely >_>

wait, can someone re-explain how this "starting desync" works? After selecting ice climbers in the character menu, you just hold down a button until the match starts? so like A?

Just follow the grime...
When you see the match count down(announcer saying 3, 2, 1), hold the button down. I recommend holding down "b" to start with an ice block chaser or possibly a blizzard wall if you're going to start of desynched.

ICs are so hard online it's a joke, the only person I could CG was KillLock from 1 province away and even then it looked sloppy. :S

I went 0-5 with ICs on wifi ladder. Someone after the game told me I wasn't the real DeLux :(

Nobody lives here, have to resort to online.
And I'm not surprised, there's only one person on AiB that can CG in lag consistently. (Minato)

Its the lag spikes that are the problem, not the lagging itself. If you can do the CG consistently from muscle memory, lag doesn't matter much.

Yeah pretty sure even during MK legal tourneys I'm gonna go ICs against certain characters.
They're a fun character, aye?

I like how they reduce most match ups to a battle of who makes less mistakes. If the ICs player messes up, Nana is usually lost. If they mess up, they lose a stock. It's pretty cool.

Yeah now that I'm really getting comfortable with them, I'm finding making less and less mistakes. Plus the intimidation factor they come with always feels good.

Lux...this is why I ban brinstar in every set vs any player ever. IC's just aren't destined to win there lmao.

To be fair I was 6-1 in tournament on that stage

Was almost 7-0 until the devil came to collect on his deal I made
