The term comes | '''Sopo''', sometimes stylized as '''SoPo''', is a term used to refer to playing as only the lead [[Ice Climber]], often due to the partner being [[KO]]'d. The term comes from a combination of "solo" and "Popo" (the lead of the default costume). It is sometimes known as '''Sona''' or '''SoNa''' for people who use Nana as the leader, though many will continue to use "Sopo" regardless of the costume selected. | ||
Sopo is more of a legitimate character than the similar [[Nolimar]], as Popo's regular moveset remains mostly effective when Nana is absent. That said, he does lose significant effectiveness, such as not being able to use a [[meteor smash]] or most [[chaingrab]]s, and is unlikely to [[recover]] from | Sopo is more of a legitimate character than the similar [[Nolimar]], as Popo's regular moveset remains mostly effective when Nana is absent. That said, he does lose significant effectiveness, such as not being able to use a [[meteor smash]] or most [[chaingrab]]s, and is unlikely to [[recover]] from moderately strong blows due to not having a fully-functional recovery. | ||

Some Ice Climbers mains are famous for their use of Sopo, such as {{Sm|Chu Dat}} in ''Melee'' and {{Sm|Vinnie}} in ''Brawl''. There also used to be a combo video on YouTube which only consisted of Chu Dat's moments with Sopo. Some of the most famous Sopo matches include a match of {{Sm|9B}}'s Sopo vs. {{Sm|ADHD}}'s Diddy Kong during [[Apex 2013]], where 9B [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-ZPIlzZEbA&t=10m2s took two stocks] off of ADHD during game 3, and a match of {{Sm|Fly Amanita}}'s Sopo vs. {{Sm|Silent Wolf}}'s Fox during [[Kings of Cali 3]], where Fly Amanita [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ou8bn9vamYA&t=3m made a comeback] using Sopo during game 5. | ||
