- Great matchups
- Hard to be chain grabbed
- Is able to chain grab
- Good defensive/disruptive projectile
- Good edge guarding
- Moderately quick
- Hammers do decent damage and knockback
- Seperate/stay together for strategy/mind games
- Harder to kill since there are two of them

I certainly expect them to more tournament games in the future.

I can just as easily list their weaknesses and say they are overrated :)

But a player must play to a character's strengths!!

Anyway, they are a good character. I'm pretty sure everyone knows that, and they are neither underrated or overrated. That's just my opinion. (This over/under rated stuff doesn't really matter IMO it just comes down to opinion. Usually the consensus of opinions is the most correct.)

Another thing, you don't seem people winning tournaments because it take a month + to main.
then if you get to a point. you want to know percentages of KO'ing out of grabs.
Mind games.
CG'ing alone takes awhile. *i don't care what others say* :)
Desync methods.
Offensive desyncing.
Etc. this is why people dont want to main them, it's too much time. when they can pick up MK and win rounds instantly. IC's take time and dedication.

But in the end, it's worth it. as I progress. I'm stoked to see how i play up against the best in my state. let alone OoS tourneys .

I want an explanation. I am sure they are not because of counter-picks.
I feel that the complexities behind Descynching, and how underdeveloped this character is, it's just obvious to me that they are one of the best if not THEE best.

But that's more than likely just me.

Once Ice Climbers get a nado, I will believe you ^.^

They're good and everyone knows that... I don't feel they're underrated at all...

The Ice Climbers are not too underrated anymore; a lot of people noticeably hate fighting them and the characters themselves, and some people are starting to use and practice them. And yes, they do take quite a while to learn all the ICs' technique, which takes months. :]
