'''Wobbling''' is an infinite grab technique specific to the [[Ice Climbers (SSBM)|Ice Climbers]]. It became well known during [[NCT2]] when [[Wobbles the Phoenix]] claimed 9th place using it often, giving his name to the technique. This technique involves [[grabbing]] and [[pummel]]ing one's opponent with the primary Ice Climber, then repeatedly using [[ftilt]] or [[dtilt]] with the other Ice Climber. This technique tacks on damage, and can lead to a [[fsmash]] by the secondary Ice Climber when damage is high enough. When performed with the right timing, the grab is absolutely inescapable, no matter what the opponent does. | '''Wobbling''' is an infinite grab technique specific to the [[Ice Climbers (SSBM)|Ice Climbers]].

It means that a player able to perform it is sure to get a [[KO]] if he/she can grab an opponent above 20% if both [[Ice Climbers]] are present. Many debates were created to decide whether this technique should be banned or not. The pro-wobbling side insists on the fact that the technique is too situational to influence a match, while the anti-wobbling side disagrees on this point and underlines the ease of use of wobbling and its KO guarantee. | ||
The most recent SBR ruleset for ''Melee'' tournaments does not have a rule dealing with wobbling; as such, it is generally up to the discretion of the tournament organizer to decide whether or not to ban the technique. | |||
