The Ice Climbers are great at dealing damage when together, have okay attack speed, and possess a few interesting attacks in their arsenal.  Their standard special move, [[Ice Shot]], is a projectile fired by each Ice Climber which slides along the ground, making it impossible to avoid by crouching/crawling.  [[Blizzard]], the down special, can freeze opponents and even cover both sides if the partner is present, or alternatively can be made to cover one side if performed while jumping with the partner, giving the attack more power.  [[Squall Hammer]] is a pretty decent advancing move with good priority, damage, and speed, spinning the Icies around each other in a forward-moving hammer attack.  If a player is feeling adventurous, the Belay special is a powerful KO move should the second Climber connect with the opponent, but it is generally an ill-advised use of the move given that it separates the Climbers and puts them into a helpless animation.

You can do almost anything with The Ice Climbers!


The Icies aren't very good at using their standard arsenal of attacks for combos, normally speaking.  With weak throws, small hammers, and slow aerials in general, the Ice Climbers can usually only manage one or two good hits in close before they need to resort to Ice Shots or Blizzard again.  With both Climbers present, KOing generally isn't too much of a problem, although their Smashes are actually better at racking up the damage than at KOing.  With all this in mind, they wouldn't seem like the best character choice in the world, if it weren't for the following...
