This is pathetic. Sakurai better save himself with a Sonic update next week or he'll be on strike 3.
I'm sure Sakurai is stricken with fear as to what happens when he gets 3 strikes other than you crying yourself to sleep.

Anywho, I liked the Ice Climbers they were really cool! I'm glad to see that they are back

Fix the thread title...

The Official Ice Climbers Thread: THEY'RE IN
Buzz, you beat me to everything, so I'll just second this. A grammatical error in the middle of a paragraph isn't a big deal, but a bolded one in a thread title really ought to be fixed.

Does anybody else like them as characters and not only because of their moves and abilities?
*raises hand*

They were my first "main" because I just loved how cute they were, their relationship, their appearance, their style, their victory fanfare...

...I'm a sucker for cuteness. :(

No one can resist their fuzzy coats and noseless little faces!

They should have given Nana eyelashes though :dizzy:

i like how i read somewhere that someone said they wouldn't be in because of the footstool jump. IN YO FACE.
Well that doesn't make any sense...

Ironic they are using it in one of their pics though if that was actually said.

*Hopes for G&W to return as well*

I seriously doubt that G&W will return,
Hes all black, there will be nothing for the team of Hal Lab. Inc. to upgrade,(meanig giving more detail on the characters)
The best thing they can do is give him New moves, And something completely new on his Final Smash
Ice Climbers have alot more detailed look then Melee, have you seen their hammers?
their all beat up, they been smashing for six years now, just about...

yeah i was pointing out the irony in the footstool being used in sakurai's picture.
someone argued that just because nana wouldn't be able to footstool that they wouldn't be in. and someone else counter argued and said something like "well what about only one of them being able to get on the ledge? it's accepted as a IC weakness." sorry i don't know who to give credit to who said what.

Not everything needs to be new... If anything I think G&W has a higher chance of returning, because he doesn't need graphic updates. They just need to transfer his data over, and maybe tweak his moves. Sounds a lot easier then adding a clone character. >_>

And @ the other people IC's are awesome. Stop hating.

Did you even see the first trailer of Super Smash Brothers Brawl? Tell me what extreme graphical update Kirby got when compared by the other characters. By that notion your saying Kirby shouldn't be in because he didn't have an extreme graphical update.

Mr. G and W is by far the most unique character in Melee. He's a retro character. There is no reason to get rid of a perfectly unique character like him. One could argue that he's even more important than the IC's.

Ah, this was a bit delayed on my part but.

Congratulations!

I was sure they wouldn't get kicked out, I never actually used them other than a few trial runs. But I don't think that there was a real good reason they should be taken out. And here we are looking at them on the Dojo, revamped with newer looking graphics. Awesome.

I tried to use them but sucked so hard!!

In reality i would like all characters to return.... but players like the Icies need some tweak-.... because playing as them is so complicated.-...


The problem with this guys is that u not aonly have to be carefull about your opponent, but you must almost play a minigame there to save nana!

i think things like these need to be improved...

But good for the Ics!

What do yuo guys think the Ice Climbers final smash will be? Maybe it will include the condor somehow, or freeze the stage and/or opponents or something.

I'm hoping it's a massive blizzard. That would be so incredibly awesome! ^_^

Happy Day!!

I was never convinced for a second that ICs would be cut. They are too unique, it would be a shame if they didn't make it back. I loved using them.

I wouldn't mind some tweaking, though. Maybe if Nana is a little better at staying nearby, or if some moves, like the down b, were a little more useful, they could be even better!

I wouldn't be surprised if their FS is a blizzard that freezes enemies. That would be appropriate. It would be so cute if it left little bits of snow that linger on the stage after its over!! awww! Those ICs are too adorable!

Also, are Nana and Popo sister and brother, or are they Gf-Bf/ wife-husband? Is it officially stated anywhere? Let me know.

Actually, it would be neat if the Condor was a boss in subspace emissary.

A blizzard/avalanche does sound good for the ice climbers, it fits them.

hmmmmmm.... to be honest i dont see how that can work for the Condor...its most likely going to be an assist Trophy
Well, the boss fight could work in a lot of ways. Petey's boss battle is nothing like the boss battles against him in Mario Sunshine. Maybe, the condor drops vegetables on you, flying down and attacking you every once in a while. Maybe, you actually ride on top of the condor while struggling to fight it and stay on it with enemies coming at you and winds blowing in all kinds of different directions.

It would just be really neat if you had to climb up Icicle Mountain and then ran into the condor at the top and had to fight him. It would be a lot like the game.

I'm pretty sure their FS will be some huge ice attack. I can't imagine what else it could be.

I think it'd be nice if their Final Smash was an avalanche. Like Popo and Nana both turn to the background and yell. Shortly afterwards a bunch of snow falls onto the stage dealing alot of damage and freezing the foes. Or something like that... >_>;

or maybe u have to press buttons at a proper Rhythm which will make them bash a wall of ice and snow to increase the damge of an Avalance:)

Lol that post made me think of something funny. Like what if Donkey Kong uses his final smash in the Ice Climbers stage and an avalanche comes and kills him

I bet only the one that grabs the smash ball does the final smash. That's how other items work with them, only the one who picks up the item can use it. So their FS probably won't be an attack involving both of them.
