So I don't see people talking about it, but their down smash is changed. Now Nana and Popo swipe once in different directions. Looks pretty weak too

uh what exactly is it...

I have been wondering the same, but I figured it was because I've only seen it while at work with no sound lol

I made a quick guide to three of the main desync options that IC players are using currently. Should help people pick up the SSBU version of ICs much quicker.

Are you able to buffer with nana on the third method?

No, if you buffer anything during the downthrow Nana will delay her attack until Popo does his version of the attack. It has to be timed specifically on the correct frame in order to get the Nana desync mid-throw. If it was bufferable all the downthrow sequences would be very easy.

We now have our dream come true footage of 16 player Ice Climbers.

Don't know if anyone has figured this out yet, but you can desynch simply via shorthopping, directional airdodge to the ground (diagonal downwards works aswell), and buffering an iceblock with popo (don't know if other specials work aswell, might be, but the timing is trickier idk) -> you're desynched.

This works out of a run, backwards, forwards, it doesn't matter. It's fairly safe too, because all you gotta do is sh airdodge. You can basically run -> shorthop -> airdodge down and back -> popo iceblock forward -> nana blizzard -> etc. I can post a video if anyone's interested.

This is really handy.

Edit: I just saw the desynch thread... Whoops.

Even if it's bee shared before I appreciate it.

Silly drawing I did of Ice Climbers picking on Corrin. I am not that good at it but I think it looks funny.

(I didn't find an IC art thread)

I love the Ice Climbers but I find them incredibly frustrating to play as right now. Have any pros picked up the character because I'm in desperate need of some pointers. My main issue is keeping Nana alive againist rush down characters.

my guess is, that she'll die no matter what when it comes to rush-down characters. if the player is skilled, they can seperate nana from you and kill her off. it was the same in brawl and melee. but back then such characters needed to be more careful because of the zero-death chaingrabs.

Hello I main Ice Climbers' Bair

 

[phi1ny3]

Does anyone have the tweets/videos for how to do that slide with Nana while desynched?

 

[DavemanCozy]

Has anyone noticed anything regarding the IC's desyncs for the current patch? All the notes say is something like "AI improved, 2nd climber follows the main one more reliably" and I was wondering if this affects desyncs.

that aside, their up-b has better ledge-grab range now

 

[phi1ny3]

It seems like the desynchs are largely unaffected.

 

[ROBnWatch]

Anyone else already preordered their ICies Amiibo? I did mine a while ago, they’re releasing next Friday for anyone who forgot/doesn’t know alongside K. Rool and Plant.

 

[MERPIS]

To what extent was Nanas AI improved?

 

[TheBeardedPunisher]

Finally have my full team assembled.

 

[ROBnWatch]

Good going. I’ll need to post my collection sometime soon. Phone camera is crap though so I’ll have to figure something else out.

 

[MERPIS]

Thanks guys, very helpful

 

[ROBnWatch]

Thanks guys, very helpful

It’s AI. And it honestly doesn’t seem like it’s been improved all that much. She’s supposed to “better follow Popo when they’re separated” but I haven’t really seen any improvement in that regard. But maybe I’m wrong, I dunno.

 

[MrGameguycolor]

I this is Melee and not Ultimate.
Buuuuuut...

I guess it's only a matter of time till this slips into Ultimate. (Assuming Ultimate lasts long enough)

Welcome!
In 2014, a small but notable tragedy took place...
While the new entry in the Super Smash Bros series was much anticipated and met with enormous acclaim, one couldn't help but notice something was missing:
The Ice Climbers.​

Spoiler: How could this happen?

But alas, with the new Smash for Switch announced, there is a large chance they’ll make a comeback! ​

Spoiler: But how and why?

And of course, if you support the idea of the Ice Climbers making a return, go ahead and let AnonymousMoon know, and you’ll be enrolled.

“C'mon, Nintendo. Don't be so cold-hearted. It'd be really ice of you to bring back this very cool duo. With the switch, they can be unfrozen in time from Brawl. Mei the Climbers make their return!”

Now, without further ado...
LET THE DISCUSSIONS BEGIN!

Ice climbers made a return and they got nerfed.
WHY SAKURI WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!
