Here's a useful trick that I stumbled upon a while back, so I thought I'd share it here. Ok so right when a match starts and your IC a dropping off the litle pedastal of light thing that you start on, they are technically in a desynched state as if you just finished a roll. In other words, if you hold B before the match starts, right when they land just Nana will fire an ice block. This is neat because you can actually start the match off with you IC desynched. From here you can either choose to perform and ice block chaser and get an early grab, or keep the desynch going. For example, fire another ice block with Popo and Nanapult, with basically no risk.

Another trick I tinkered with is similar to the first. After you die, and your respawning on the floating platform, you're also desynched. However, this time it's just Popo who will perform the attack. So, instead of dropping down, simply fire an iceblock or turn around and fire an iceblock from the floating platform. Only Popo will fire it and Nana will drop down. Once Nana hits the ground you can do any other action, I perfer to just fire another ice block, soon after Popo will land. From here you have two iceblocks heading towards your opponent, and you're currently in control of Popo. Once again you have the option to chase the ice blocks, except here there's no risk since you have invincibility frames, or you can camp back fire more ice blocks into a Nanapult or something.

Post your thoughts, or anything neat that you can come up with.
