Welcome to the Ice Climbers Useful Thread Index! This is, in no way, a theft of ideas or threads. It is merely a directory to threads which have been deemed useful by me to make YOUR life easier :). I may have missed a few important threads...If I did, feel free to post in the correct format, and I will add it :bee:


When I first came to the Ice Climber Boards, I was utterly amazed at how disorganized it was! So I decided to find all the useful threads so it could be easier for me and YOU to find. I’ve looked through over 500 threads spread over 20 pages and picked the most useful ones (ya that's right- over 500! *I'm dead tired now*). Hope this helps everyone find the threads they're looking for ;)

1) The Law

Greetings (newcomer?), and welcome to the Ice Climber boards! Chances are you're in one of the following groups:


  • You stumbled upon VirtualVoid's and Hylian's videos, and were amazed at the potential of the "dynamic duo".
  • You're from Europe or Australia and have just recently gotten your hands on a copy of Brawl,
    or
  • You just plain enjoy playing the Ice Climbers.

No matter which category you fall under, we're glad to have you as part of the Ice Climber community. However, we would like to set a few guidelines for posting. These will reduce clutter from the boards and make finding the information you need easier for everyone.

RULES FOR POSTING

1. SPAM THREADS: Do not come here and post threads such as "Ice Climberz are so cheap" They will not be tolerated and will be reported.

2. Short questions: We have a Question & Answer Thread for a reason! If you have a relatively simple question, please post there (do not start a new thread), and we promise that someone will respond.

3. "Personal Synopsis" threads: DO NOT POST ONE OF THESE. Yes, we appreciate your opinions in regular discussions, but an entire thread devoted to "My thoughts about Ice Climbers" does not add to the credibility of the board.

4. Challenges: You may think you are the best. You are most likely wrong. Please do not post a thread stating that you are and that you are accepting challenges so you can prove you're the best. If you would like to challenge someone, please take it to private messaging.

5. Regarding new AT's/combos: If you think that you may have discovered a new AT or combo, please refer back to this thread before posting. Again, chances are someone has already discovered it or it has been disproven. If what you want to post has not been covered anywhere, do not just post a thread stating "I did something omg!!!!!111one". Try and describe in as much detail as you can and what you were doing when you discovered this, and if you can, try and post video proof. Failure to do either does not allow us to replicate and confirm your AT/combo.

6. Grammar and spelling: Spelling and grammar are important functions of the English language. Use comma's and period's. Capitalize where appropriate. And don't post crap like "d00d if u r gunuh uze dis khar jo ned 2 doo stuf kplztx"

REMEMBER: Use the search function! Just because something is not covered in this thread does not mean it hasn't been posted before. Repeat threads waste space and push legitimate threads off of the front page.


Congratulations! You're now ready to post on the Ice Climber board! If you still don't know how to post intelligently, go to feardragon's guide on posting intelligently: http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=203274

Something I noticed...

1) The Law

Greetings (newcomer?), and welcome to the Ice Climber boards! Chances are you're in one of the following groups:


  • You stumbled upon VirtualVoid's and Hylian's videos, and were amazed at the potential of the "dynamic duo".
  • You're from Europe or Australia and have just recently gotten your hands on a copy of Brawl,
    or
  • You just plain enjoy playing the Ice Climbers.

No matter which category you fall under, we're glad to have you as part of the Ice Climber community. However, we would like to set a few guidelines for posting. These will reduce clutter from the boards and make finding the information you need easier for everyone.

RULES FOR POSTING

1. SPAM THREADS: Do not come here and post threads such as "Ice Climberz are so cheap" They will not be tolerated and will be reported.

Congratulations! You're now ready to post on the Ice Climber board!
Hmmm... this looks awfully similar to:
***I am writing this in the anticipation that we will start getting more and more new ZSS players on the board as Claw's combo video starts gaining popularity, as well as the upcoming release of Brawl in Europe and Australia. We, the regulars here on the ZSS board, need to start protecting the integrity of the board once again as we get flooded by new users. Any feedback from you would be highly appreciated. If you feel I haven't covered something that should be in here, let me know so I can edit it.***

ZERO SUIT SAMUS BOARD FOR DUMMIES​

A guide to posting appropriately on the Zero Suit Samus Board,
by DeliciousCake.


Greetings newcomer, and welcome to the Zero Suit Samus board! Chances are you're in one of the following groups:


  • You stumbled upon myRoboticClaw's amazing combo video and have decided to learn more about ZSS,
  • You're from Europe or Australia and have just recently gotten your hands on a copy of Brawl,
    or
  • You just plain enjoy playing ZSS.

No matter which category you fall under, we're glad to have you as part of the Zero Suit Samus community. However, we would like to set a few guidelines for posting. These will reduce clutter from the boards and make finding the information you need easier for everyone.

RULES FOR POSTING

As eager as you may be to begin posting, please visit Bouse's Zero Suit Samus Resource Center. Most likely your questions can be answered from one of these threads, or a topic you might think is new or exciting is already being covered elsewhere.

1. SPAM THREADS: Do not come here and post threads such as "Zamus iz so hawt zomg" or "Zamus has nice tilts." They will not be tolerated and will be reported. Also, threads stating things such as "Zamus doesn't deserve a character slot" or "Ridley would have been a better choice for a character" will also be marked as spam.

2. Short questions: We have a Q&A sticky for a reason! If you have a relatively simple question, please post there, and we promise that someone will respond in a timely manner.

3. "Personal Synopsis" threads: DO NOT POST ONE OF THESE. Yes, we appreciate your opinions in regular discussions, but an entire thread devoted to "My thoughts about Zamus" does not add to the credibility of the board.

4. Challenges: You may think you are the best. You are most likely wrong. Please do not post a thread stating that you are and that you are accepting challenges so you can prove you're the best. If you would like to challenge someone, please take it to private messaging.

5. Regarding new AT's/combos: If you think that you may have discovered a new AT or combo, please refer back to the Zero Suit Samus Resource Center before posting. Again, chances are someone has already discovered it or it has been disproven. If what you want to post has not been covered anywhere, do not just post a thread stating "I did something omg!!!!!111one". Try and describe in as much detail as you can and what you were doing when you discovered this, and if you can, try and post video proof. Failure to do either does not allow us to replicate and confirm your AT/combo.

Might I suggest not plagiarizing next time smaci? I spent alot of time writing up those rules and I did it for the betterment of the ZSS board. Now if you're going to just casually come along and take my words from me, I will take this matter seriously.

maybe you should chill out. its a GUIDE for locating important threads. who cares if its been used ON ANOTHER CHARACTER'S BOARD if it works? the point is to clear up the ic board of repetitive posts. if the ZSS boards have a good system then we'll use it. i don't understand why you're taking personally if they LIKE HOW IT WORKS.

@ delicious cake...I'll be crediting you and Bouse. don't worry---that's what the "credit" section was saved for. Yes, I probably should've asked...I deeply apologize for not asking. If you're still really upset about it, I'll be happy to completely change it for you....so what do you say cake?

I can:
1) give you and Bouse the biggest and first spot on the "credits" section...
OR
2) completely rewrite everything that I got from you and Bouse ASAP

Cake, I'm gone for a few hours. I'll get back to you when I get back.

everyone, just leave this to me and cake to handle...no more posting on this thread until cake answers me.

Either rewrite it completely or credit me where it is. Like I said, I spend a lot of time trying to keep the ZSS board clean and that rules thread was probably my biggest accomplishment in doing that. I'm not trying to hassle you, I just want credit where it's due. Like for example, a user on the Ike board messaged me some time ago and asked if they could use it as a framework for the Ike boards. Did they ever write that thread? No, they didn't. But they at least asked me beforehand and said they would give me credit for it.

maybe you should chill out. its a GUIDE for locating important threads. who cares if its been used ON ANOTHER CHARACTER'S BOARD if it works? the point is to clear up the ic board of repetitive posts. if the ZSS boards have a good system then we'll use it. i don't understand why you're taking personally if they LIKE HOW IT WORKS.
I don't have a problem with a guide thread. Every board has a guide thread. I didn't even WRITE the ZSS guide thread. Maybe you should rethink your argument before trying to use "they like how it works" as reasoning for copying and pasting a thread I wrote without crediting me.

I'm fine with plagiarism... as long as I'm credited.
(Please don't make me explain that joke to any of you)
It is nice to see the organizational talents of the Zero Suit community being applied elsewhere, but Cake is right. If Smaci hadn't copied "The Law" down near word for word, it would have been fine. However he did, and Cake has a right to be pissed.
I have no issue with my format being used, but even the dimwits on the Ike boards had the foresight to ask me.
Just be happy I'm not M2K, otherwise I'd sue you for this.
