'''Freezing''', also known as '''ice''', is an attack [[effect]] in the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series, which debuted in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and has appeared in every subsequent game. It causes a character to be encased in ice while taking [[knockback]], preventing them from taking action for a certain amount of time in replacement of the [[hitstun]] they would usually experience. | '''Freezing''', also known as '''ice''', is an attack [[effect]] in the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series, which debuted in ''[[Super Smash Bros.

Uniquely, {{SSBU|Hero}}'s [[Kacrackle Slash]] applies a 2× multiplier to the initial freeze time, giving him a greater advantage over the opponent compared to other freezing attacks. | Uniquely, {{SSBU|Hero}}'s [[Kacrackle Slash]] applies a 2× multiplier to the initial freeze time, giving him a greater advantage over the opponent compared to other freezing attacks. Furthermore, multi-hit freezing attacks (namely the {{SSBU|Ice Climbers}}' [[Blizzard]]) have a new accumulation mechanic that lets them freeze opponents even if they deal less than 52.5 units of knockback. More specifically, each hit's resulting freeze time from the formula (if they would have caused freezing) is added together if the target is kept in [[hitstun]] between them, and if the combined value exceeds 263, the opponent is frozen by the hit to have crossed the threshold, using its individual freeze time. For example, in a 1v1 match with [[stale-move negation]] disabled, Blizzard can freeze as early as 28.4% with 9 hits; if there is no percent increase between hits (such as by the Fixed Damage option in [[Training]] mode), this instead happens at around 37%, which can be verified by the result of <code>(5 * 2.16 + 0.5 * 37) * 9</code> exceeding 263. As this only takes damage into account, it works regardless of the opponent's weight or knockback modifiers, unless they take no hitstun as a result of either [[armor]] or the attack dealing flinchless knockback. | ||
In all games, a frozen character automatically [[jump]]s after thawing out, canceling out most of their remaining launch speed, and can perform other actions immediately (except in ''Melee'', where they sustain 16 frames of [[ending lag]]), though their horizontal momentum is still temporarily locked. Additionally, they are protected from subsequent freezing attempts for 60 frames after thawing out. | In all games, a frozen character automatically [[jump]]s after thawing out, canceling out most of their remaining launch speed, and can perform other actions immediately (except in ''Melee'', where they sustain 16 frames of [[ending lag]]), though their horizontal momentum is still temporarily locked.
