Icicle Mountain: Difference between revisions

Icicle Mountain is universally banned at tournaments, primarily because its focus for players is to survive rather than actually fight. Additionally, it heavily favours characters with superior jumping prowess. The upper blast lines and horizontal blast lines are close to the stage, allowing for some very early [[KO]]s, and there are impassable platforms throughout the stage that can block a potential KO. The frequent blocking of the lower blast line also undermines [[spike]]s and [[meteor smash]]es, as well as minimizing [[edge guard]]ing skills.

*Any [[Artificial Intelligence|AI]] character tends to [[SD]] easily when the stage starts scrolling quickly upwards. This is because the AI will ascend only one platform at a time. Frequently, this leads to the character not moving quickly enough to escape the lower blast line, resulting in an SD.
