Lately I have been trying to beat lvl 9 cpu's without grabbing them... I am having a hard time. I think learning more basic tactics will help my game GREATLY.
For example... edge hogging... then returning to the stage and going for a sweetspot dsmash instead of a grab. ahahaha, 40+% is too good

One basic tactic I absolutely love:
Belay to the edge.
Immediately have Popo get up, leave Nana hanging.
Wait for a moment.
F-smash or f-tilt towards the edge.
Nana will do her meteor smash while being suspended in mid-air, and Popo guards the ledge from above. Anything short of a sweetspotted Farore's Wind is going to get *****, and even that's no guarantee, since Nana immediately regrabs the ledge.

Thats not true...
IC kick hard
and IC is outnumbered by Olimar and Pikman.
Its like 2 to 6
desynching is cool though
*P*L*U*R*
Smash Hero
Weird. If I have no one to play against, I just play with items. *shrugs*
Wait are you saying olimar beats ics???
Gosh, i guess i need to start going to tournament with all the people asking me to(lol and not scrubs <.<, talking about high ranked people *cough holy and ally*.I guess i need to go to big tourneys to prove people what ics are made of. Oh and btw, stop thinking chaingrabs are shiz, they are not. Ics have technique that are tremendously more annoying and powerfull that LEAD to grabs, and makes most opponent commit mistake. As for ics vs olimar, ics **** olimar single handedly with 1 really easy to do technique. Kawaii knows what it is, not spending my time to write it D:

there's even a faster way to do this kage...
You do a pivot A desync, or a dash-smash desync, or a dashdance desync in front of the edge...and keep tapping the joystick when you control nana...nana then edgeguards, and you can do her meteor smash.
lower is better not worse. its called mindgaming.
your opponent underestimates you because of your character.
you violate them in the match. they will think you the player is good not the character.
you profit from your new reputation.
that and then there's also all the stigma associated with the name Metaknight, and the things implied with Cfalcon. you don't want IC to be the new MK right?
conclusion: lower is GOOD. you get a head start at mindgames before the match even begins.

ppl dont pay ic no attention
thats a good thing in my words
if your opponent takes ic as a joke but then winding up gettin 3stocked
well....you kno da rest in that situation

the less the better...
people will take us as a joke but when day get pwnd then

i managed to 3 stock my friend's PT. i took his first stock without getting hit once. i won the match with maybe 180%
Dev2000

my opinion on this whole 2 places down is just that its a good thing i mean most of the people dont know what the ice climbers can do and they think of them as a joke and now theyre down the tier list they think even easier on them untill one of us just chaingrabs em and 3 stock them they are all gonna be sorry i always love the reactions of people when they see me 3 stocking as IC XD
Dev2000
Smash Lord
thats true actually but the most people i know look at them as trash
Kage Me
Smash Ace
That's because most people suck with them
Dev2000
Smash Lord
ye i noticed that ever since i started using ice climbers all the people of my list started using them only.. without any skill whatsoever :\That's because most people suck with them
Dev2000
Smash Lord
ye they just dont get that ice climbers require a long time of learning to finally be able to use them in the wright way
FrozenHobo
Smash Hero
exactly. thats my view on all of these new people that seem to be congregating here. all they want to do is cg. tats it. thats also all they base their skill level with ICs on as well which just makes me hate them even more. CGs =/= ICs. CGs are what ICs do best, not what they are.
Dev2000
Smash Lord
Thats a VERY good statement right there FrozenPopo

I have a feeling our IC will climb their way to the top! Just give it some time, I don't think people understand the potential IC have.
Dev2000
Smash Lord
yup we just need time to discover some new infinites and stuff
then we will conquer the metaknight on top of the list they are called "Cllimbers" for a reason

I plan on taking desyncing to a higher level instead of CGing. Now that people know how to avoid getting grabbed, the practicality of doing cg's has become lower compared to simply playing smartly with their other moves.

I think they rate the IC's low because they say when one IC dies,your pretty much screwed.And the only time they talk about them together,its about CG's
And cuz im an IC user that dosent CG, i feel like one of the worst IC's out there
BUT IC's will kill all MK's and Snakes ect,cuz theyre cool like that

actually they get rated so low due to the assumption that without CGs ICs suck balls. this, coupled with he argument of their crap grab range means that most people see the ICs as gimmicky characters that have great grab game but otherwise are useless. they are generally looked down on and are not very respected by high level players.I think they rate the IC's low because they say when one IC dies,your pretty much screwed.And the only time they talk about them together,its about CG's

yes, i'm a little bitter.....
Dev2000

That is not true. Yes CGs are awesome and good but it isnt nescesarry it takes MANY practice to be able to be REALLY REALLY good but when you finally beat your opponents and get compliments you will know work has payed offI think they rate the IC's low because they say when one IC dies,your pretty much screwed.And the only time they talk about them together,its about CG's

And the solo ice climbers isnt useless at all its just how you use him ive killed many good players from 0% with only one IC

Solo Ice Climber IS useless. Not only do you get no chaingrabs, you get no desynchs!
Solo Ice climber for F tier lol
FrozenHobo
Smash Hero
lol comment is fail. sopos only real failing is a lack of recovery. otherwise his aerials can still be pretty beastly and definitely more easy to pull off (most people drop their guard when they see one IC). low tier maybe; F tier = lolno.

I am an IC main too. ^_^
Imo IC's should be higher on the tier list, but thats up to us to prove I guess
And to contribute to the discussion about the solo IC:
A solo IC still has the moveset two IC have, meaning said solo IC still has a fair share of decent/good moves. Solo IC is far from useless, and, like Dev said, can still pose a treat to your opponent. Especially if they drop their guard ^_^ (wich is something we cannot rely on, offcourse).
And solo IC can still CG only not every character

Sometimes solo IC play pretty much makes the IC player. With excellent knowledge of spacing and options, solo IC usually plays the survival game and has excellent hit and run tactics. People USUALLY get a little hasty when trying to kill him which makes things easier (but as Party hat said, you can't rely on that.)
And then of course, when you die, no matter how good they are, they get a little more scared because it's like "ugh, there's two of 'em again." It takes a really really great and consistent player (probably with a good lead) to not get scared of nana's return after solid solo popo play. lol
