'''Ice Shot''' is the [[Neutral B]] move of the [[Ice Climbers]]. The controlled Ice Climber summons a small stalagmite of ice and hits it with a hammer so that it slides off along the ground, damaging whatever it hits. This move is mimicked by the CPU Ice Climber if it is with the human-controlled one, so two shots at a time can be shot along the floor.

Although this attack only does around 2% damage, it can be very powerful if used correctly. With both Climbers, you'll shoot out two Ice Shots. If used in mid-air, the Ice Shots fall fast until they hit the ground, and they travel very fast down slopes. If one gets reflected, the other can cancel it out. In Brawl, if the CPU Climber is present, using Blzzard then immediatly using Ice Shot may result in both Climbers facing different directions, shooting an Ice Shot left and right simultaneosly.
'''Ice Shot''' ({{ja|アイスショット|Aisu Shotto}}, ''Ice Shot'') is the [[Ice Climbers]]' [[neutral special move]].


It is possible for a high-damage opponent to be frozen by Ice Shot, but the chances are slim.
==Overview==
The controlled Ice Climber summons a small stalagmite of ice and hits it with a hammer so that it slides off along the ground, damaging whatever it hits. This move is mimicked by the CPU Ice Climber if it is with the human-controlled one, so two shots at a time can be shot along the floor. Unfortunately, it shrinks in size as it slides, making long range Ice Shots undesirable.


In Brawl, shielding will send the Ice Shot back at the Climbers.
Although this attack only does small damage for each chunk of ice, it can be very useful in attacking and defending if used correctly. With both Climbers, it fires two blocks. If used in mid-air, the Ice Shots fall fast until they hit the ground, and they travel very fast down slopes. If one gets reflected, the other can cancel it out. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', if the CPU Climber is present, using Blizzard or Squall Hammer, then immediately using Ice Shot, may result in both Climbers facing different directions, shooting an Ice Shot left and right simultaneously. If used immediately after a jump, Ice Shot will send the Ice Climbers up a small distance, like Mario's Cape.


{{Ice Climbers Special Moves}}
It is possible for an opponent to be frozen by Ice Shot, with the chance increasing with the opponent's damage but still being relatively slim.
 
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', landing during the move when using it in the air incurs 16 frames of landing lag, and from ''Brawl'' onwards results in a unique crash landing animation where the Climbers land on their rears.
 
In ''Brawl'', shielding will send the Ice Shot back at the Climbers, but not do any damage to them. It can also [[lock]]. In ''Ultimate'', a reflected Ice Shot now deals damage to the Climbers.
 
In ''Melee'', the projectile was energy-based, able to be [[absorb]]ed by [[PSI Magnet]] and [[Oil Panic]]; in ''Brawl'' onwards, it is a solid projectile. Also, in ''Melee'', the hammers dealt physical damage to those too close to the Ice Climbers while executing the attack, inflicting upward [[knockback]]. This is not the case in ''Brawl'', though.
 
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', [[desyncing]] can be used to make the attack come out consistently, and therefore trap opponents offstage.

==Origin==
[[File:Topi ice shot.png|thumb|A Topi pushing a piece of ice.]]
While not used by the Ice Climbers, it may be based on an attack used by [[Topi]]s in ''{{b|Ice Climber|game}}'', where they push a similar piece of ice, which would slide into gaps and block them. Similarly to Ice Shot, these pieces of ice would damage Popo or Nana if they ran into them.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Using Ice Shot at very close range can catch enemies with both the ice blocks and the hammers.
*If the following Ice Climber is sent flying out of the stage, they will use Ice Shot to recover.
