Smash Apprentice
First Off I am going to say this thread does not involve fps just the metagame. Honestly in my opinion if the Ice Climbers were in they would demolish this metagame since they can be used for both zoning and full rush down so they can adapt to anything similar to Rosalina and Luma even though Rosalina is more on the zoning side and the Ice Climbers are more rush down. The Ice Climbers would have been a major threat if they were in smash 4 and they would've been the premiere and essential character for smash 4 due to their potential zoning capabilities and rush down capabilities so basically they would have been the pocket knife of smash 4 and that would be one sharp pocket knife. But one gigantic flaw in the Ice Climbers take over is that they rely on the fact that they are a team and thus when one gets knocked off the other is severely weakened and is way too weak as a stand alone character and I think that would be why it would fall short just beneath Rosalina since she can spawn a new Luma in 7 seconds if the previous 1 gets bopped. But still they would be the 2nd best as they would've been a counter to essentially everything and would pose a threat to just about anything. So it would change the way every smash 4 player would practice and approach smash 4 since puppet characters would be such a strong presence people would have to find out how to deal with 2 characters at the same time and to figure out weak points and would encourage better planning and more practice which is good. But what do you think would happen if Ice Climbers were in the smash 4 metagame would it encourage bad sportsmanship or more dedication.
