Why isn't Ice Climbers infinite chaingrab banned? or atleast to 100%

[-Real-]

Seriously...Ive had it with going to tournies and getting repeadedtly chain grabbed by ic's. what's the point of playing if they just infinite grab you?

Plus I know that the limit is 200%
But let's be honest... Will that really help you?

umad ?

Oh not this again, lrn 2 space and match-up. They also have the worst grab range in the game so you deserved to get grabbed.

 

[JOE!]

Then again, why is it a 200% limit when Nana's Usmash kills ____ around 130% max anyways?

There are a lot more gayer things than IC's CG's


Like planking and scrooging <3

Cuz by then, it'll be considered a form of stalling iirc

Just like D3's infinite grab.

 

[JOE!]

isnt it stalling beyond 130% then?

why not have a 100% limit

 

[Sinz]

If you have enough skill to land the infinite and to do it successfully you should be able to kill them. Good luck killing D3, Snake, DK, and a few others at 100% with any move.


tl;dr don't get grabbed it isn't hard.

Cuz it's still doing useful damage to your opponent.
Limiting it to 100% is taking away a still useful option.


By 200%, most any of your moves will kill so there is no point in CG'n
It then, turns into a stalling technique that has no use and is only running the timer.

The opponent cannot engage in fighting or retaliation while the IC is essentially stalling for time via hinderance.
It serves no use at such a high percentage and is only delaying the overall match.

Pulling off the Ice Climbers' chain grab is tricky, since their grab range is poor. Still, once it connects, you're pretty much screwed if you're using a large fighter.

umad ?

I laughed.

They can kill you at 100% btw unless you are a heavyweight/mid heavyweight.

It's not banned because it isn't something the opponent can't adapt to by spacing properly.

In fact, it's because of the ability to space attacks and avoid getting grabs that Toon Link (which I assume is your main) has a slight advantage over Ice Climbers (last I checked anyhow).
