TriviaEdit

  • ARMY is the subject of a notorious Twitter account by the name of i_love_army_woooooo, which prolifically replies to the tweets of various Smash players in praise of ARMY and his use of wobbling, often ending replies with "LET'S GO ARMY WOOOOOO!".[1] The running joke has persisted to the point where the phrase has been uttered whenever an Ice Climbers player is broadcasted in tournament using the technique.
