}} | }}'''Belay''' is the [[up special move]] of the [[Ice Climbers]]. It functions as a third jump, but only if the [[Computer Player|CPU-controlled]] Ice Climber is present. The controlled Ice Climber throws the CPU one up a short distance while the two are attached by a rope, and the CPU Ice Climber will then send the human one a long way upward by pulling on the rope, and both will enter the [[helpless]] state until they land, making them individually vulnerable until then. If this move is used to recover from falling off the edge of a stage, the CPU Ice Climber will likely fall to its doom while the human one will land on the stage safely. | ||
Without the other Ice Climber alive or near enough in the air, the player merely does the motion for the belay, which will still grab the [[ledge]] when close enough, but gains very little altitude and leaves the Climber helpless to fall. A separated CPU Climber may also use the move alone to try and get back to their partner. Players typically use [[Squall Hammer]]-based recoveries when left with a single Climber. | |||
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', the [[Artificial Intelligence|AI]] Climber will aim for and grab the ledge of the stage provided they are facing toward the ledge, and will then pull up the human controlled Climber, acting as a [[tether recovery]]. As both Climbers can now grab the ledge simultaneously, this effectively eliminates the problem of potentially being [[Edge-hogging|edge-hogged]] by one's own partner. | |||
[[ | |||
A technique using this move (known as Bungie Jumping) allows a player to edge-hog for an extended period of time with invincibility frames that can be repeatedly attained. The technique also sets up to chaingrab any opponents who get past the edge-hog. | |||
==Origin== | |||
This move seems to be unique to the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros. series]], but it is possibly based on the Ice Climber's ability to "[[footstool jump]]" on each other in the two-player mode of ''[[Ice Climber (game)|Ice Climber]]''. The animation is similar to when they jumped on each other's head while in midair in the original game. | |||
