The duo performs a snappy outward mallet swing. It boasts impressive speed, damage and knockback, without lacking in range or safety, either. It is, however held back when it comes to activity, being active for only 2 frames.

It clips the ledge when angled downward, and when combined with its relatively high speed and power, makes for a decent 2-frame option in spite of its low activity.
It clips the ledge when angled downward, and when combined with its relatively high speed and power, makes for an above-average two-frame option in spite of its low activity. Which is largely compensated by the delayed swing of the partner, working as a built-in 2nd try at a two-frame if the leader moves too early.


When performed by only one of the Ice Climbers, forward tilt also used for some of their zero-to-death combos, usually leading into a side special or foward aerial.

Even if it were used by a character who couldn't make use of desyncs, the Ice Climbers' forward tilt is a useful attack and a standout among a fairly unremarkable move category.
Even without a partner to strike with, forward tilt retains enough of its two-framing and KO potential to be a competent move on its own, a further testament to the power of the move in its base form. As long as both climbers are present, the Ice Climbers' forward tilt is a very solid attack and a standout among a fairly unremarkable move category.
