The last kill in the first video was awesome and so was the first kill in the third, nice matches in general.

 

[JusDBerube]

These videos have me pretty excited to play as the Ice Climbers. Nice work.

 

[RPGsFTW]

Great videos. I loved how you beat on Wolf. You also made me like the Ice Climbers more than I do

Those chain grabs are looking nastier then DDD's. Sick sick IC play. Good job.

 

[Woodman]

I absolutely love the downthrow chain grab to spike. There is so much mindgame potential. For instance you could miss the last grab on purpose and charge a smash as they sit on the ground. You could also abuse their DI decision on the edge and pull out some crazy alternate endings to the combo. Can't wait to get my hands on this game!

The awesome thing about it is that Nana edgehogs instantly so they are forced to Up B into Popo, that is if they don't die.

 

[billythegoat]

you are by far the best ice climbers player I've seen. Great matches.

 

[Paxz]

well thanx you all for your comments I really apreciate them, the ice climber are so great. Hope I can upload more sickness soon.

 

[VirtualVoid]

Great stuff here indeed.

Check out my IC vids, you might want to use the stuff I do from grabs.

good stuff I'm looking forward to watching you play some good opponents. We should exchange wii numbers If you want to get better I got some friends that can rock the Ice climbers, maybe to well lolz .

 

[Paxz]

As soon as I get my Brawl we can play online man, my wii number is just under my avatar, just give me yours.
Ill check your vids Virtualvoid.

 

[Nasu]

The ice climbers have a nice edge game. In ssbm they would fear the edge because Nana couldn't grab on and was dumb. Now they can harass in the air and U+B up to the ledge before the opponent blinks. Also they have one of the coolest spikes in the game that comes out of a throw combo. Nice work!

 

[jdub03]

Can you make a desynch guide.

 

[tguy]

You're too good. Far too good. I've got a newer, easier technique, though. I noticed in at least one of those videos, you attempt to dthrow into a Nana meteor and mistime it so Nana hits forward rather than down. Instead of using the dthrow, try the fthrow as such: Jump with Nana, then tap forward, then a slight moment later, tap the "a" button. I find that it's easier to connect with that and typically results in a hit that's slightly farther from Popo.

Of course, a lot of the time, you're in black and white, so you may want to switch Popo and Nana around.

Now, in Melee, I didn't do many advanced Ice Climber tricks, I just didn't try that hard, however, in Brawl, I've decided to get a little better with things like chain throws and desync, and I have to say, I really can't duplicate your dthrow chain quite the way you do. I've found an alternative that involves not running at all, but it doesn't carry across the stage nearly as quickly, and the more throws you have to do to get to the edge, the more prone to error you may be.

Edit: I'd like to add that each dthrow, meteor, fsmash combo does about 31%, which is more than just six dthrows by themselves, so you may want to weigh your options if you won't be able to carry your opponent to the edge of the stage, especially since the former has a lot of knockback. Additionally, at lower percentages, if you trade the fsmash for Squall Hammer and keep your opponent in the attack, you can do about 10% more than possible with the fsmash. It's not perfect, though, as sometimes, I've done less damage, too.

Nice, the beginning in the wolfmatch make me still want to play Ics climbers, I had been a little maybe leaning against another top class(tier) character but after seeing that, and from a player played IC's for just like a month I think I should stick to them in brawl too^^

I just noticed a couple of times, don't you use belay (up-b) as a KO move, it works on most characters at, I think it was around 80%, it´s great to use after an uair or some other setup getting the opponent in the air^^

Yeah I had just started to use it like a week ago, and I've been playing IC since melee.

 

[Droogieb]

hey man this is great stuff. Is there any way you can explain just how you execute this maneuver? I'm going to be playing brawl later today and want to try it out.

 

[kackamee]

Nice grab combos!!! I also like how you know how to keep cool at high %s and you have a good edgegame! overall your really good!
