The "freeze glitch" is a glitch unique to the Ice Climbers. It is caused by performing a grab with Nana (or Popo depending on what color sceme you are using) and doing a smash b attack into the character being grabbed. This glitch is banned in tournement play.
Characters
- Ice Climbers
- Any character that can be thrown
Items
- Screw Attack (if you accidentily trap your target in a block of ice by b attacking, this will "unfreeze" them from the ice block.
Stage
- The beuty of this glitch is that it can be done on any stage
Instructions
- Start by grabbing the opponent with your partner (this can be done far more easily in training mode by slowing down the game speed).
- Next, you will need to (quickly) do a smash b attack to the grabbed opponent.
- If done correctly, the opponent will be frozen from the grab. There is much speculatation as to how the throw must end in order for the glitch to take.
- Once the opponent is "frozen" they will remain in the same place no matter how high their damage gets until you (or another character if it is multiplayer) grab and throw them.
Notes
- One belief is that Nana must let go of the opponent for it to work.
- Another belief is that Nana must throw the opponent up for the glitch to work.
- While a character is frozen they will not respond and will not be able to attack.
- If the opponent is hit up or down while frozen they will slowly move in that direction and may cause you to be unable to grab and release them.
- This glitch is not tournement legal.
