The freeze glitch is a glitch able to be done in Melee. It can be done with Mewtwo (but only with Red Shells, preferably on a heavy character like Bowser) and most notably the Ice Climbers.
Ice Climbers
This variant is the only one that does not require a particular item. The Ice Climbers variant was discovered by Philly Billy. It is caused by performing a grab with the trailing Ice Climber and then quickly using Squall Hammer with the leader. If done correctly, the opponent will be frozen in place and unable to do anything aside from take damage; the only way to free the opponent is by grabbing them. This glitch is banned in tournament play due to it essentially removing all control from the opponent.
Barrel Cannon glitch
This is a variation of the Freeze glitch that can be used to get a large number of combos. It can be done by the Ice Climbers on any stage with a flat surface. The user must have a Barrel Cannon and at least two opponents. First, the player must perform the freeze glitch on any opponent. When the opponent is frozen, the player must grab a Barrel Cannon and throw it at the opponent. The opponent should be stuck in it if performed correctly. Then, the player must perform the freeze glitch on the second opponent. Once the second opponent is frozen, the player should throw said opponent at the Barrel Cannon. The frozen opponent should be stuck in the Barrel Cannon and rack up a decent amount of damage.
Mewtwo and Red Shells
The Freeze glitch can occur when Mewtwo uses Confusion to "reflect" an oncoming Red Shell multiple times. If the shell hits an opponent just as Mewtwo grabs him or her, the opponent will freeze and can only take damage (unlike the Ice Climber variant, when the opponent is thrown, they will remain frozen, stuck in their tumbling or spiraling animation). A similar glitch, called the soul breaker, can occur using Mewtwo and the Red Shells as well, and opponents affected are frozen similarly.
Notes
- If opponents are hit up or down while frozen, they will slowly move in that direction, which may cause the Ice Climber to be unable to grab and release them from the glitch.
- If a frozen character happens to pass a blast line, they will not be KO'd. This can happen in stages such as Corneria and Venom (as the stage floats around) as well as scrolling stages such as Rainbow Cruise. It can also happen if the frozen character is carried offstage by a Barrel Cannon.
- A thrown Screw Attack will unfreeze the frozen character.
