Are You An Ice Climbers Player? - Super Smash Bros. Melee 

You're an Ice Climbers main if: You want to be a mid level state player from the second you pick up a controller until the day you die.

“could have added Ridley or King K Rool” well this video has aged oddly well.

You are an Ice Climbers player if: - Your friends hate playing you. - You most likely troll. - You pummel a bit too much. - You wobble in friendlies.

How to know if you're an IC's player 1. Do you spout endless memes to everyone you know? 2. Do you want to make no friends in the Smash community? 3. Do you want to run the risk of literally getting your ass kicked mid game? If you said yes to one of these then you might be an IC's player.

Ridley AND KING K ROOL ARE IN SMASH NOW SO GUESS WHAT MCNUGGET

Please do sonic. I've never played him but my friend from middle school said he did.

1:11 Hey I play zelda A lot! But my friends always get mad at me for spamming down b

You are and ice climbers players if you: Want to lose friends Like wobbling Getting Booed Or just never want to win a major tournament

"by far, the ice climbers' biggest strength is their unforgivable grab game." at first, i was sure you meant their "unforgiving" grab game. but on second thought...

I like that the explanation of how bad SoPo is is accompanied by Fly Amanita making a significant SoPo comeback against Silent Wolf.

How to know if you're an Ice Climbers player... 1. Did you take classes in the portables outside the school? 2. Do you know more than 4 digits of pi? 3. Did you take lithium pills this morning? If you answered 'yes' to any of these, you are probably an Ice Climbers player.

The ice climbers are your main if you have absolutely no shame

Wobbles. By far one of the most awesome players to watch. Crazy smart dude.

Is it just me or does Fly Amanita look like Nigel Thornberry with long hair?

0:35 you guys predicted Ridley and King K. Rool in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate ! 😱

Wobbles is easily the best ICs, and definitely my favorite. He completely innovated Ice Climbers grab game, and he's gone places and figured out things that no one else has even come close to with this character. Plus his combos and desyncs are godlike.

You forgot the best reason to play Icies, Kira. The salt.

Next video: Are you a Young Link player? .... What? I'm serious..

This dude predicted ridley AND King K Rool.

Are you a Mario player? I'm going to keep asking on every single one of these videos until you give it to me.

1:59 is the only part Nintendude watched

5:06 STALLING DISQUALIFIED

wobbles is dope cuz he doesn't even wobble anymore, yet still destroys people

From my perspective, I would say that Ice Climbers are perfect for good defensive punishers, players that enjoy taking their time to strategise with a wide variety of desync mixups and grab-game. Also, it's extremely effective practice to have a good SoPo. Many players out there don't expect a SoPo to be able to perform well, unless you're really good, and being a very good SoPo is excellent training for dealing with slim odds in your favour. The Ice Climbers are extremely great characters and one of the best things in Smash. I come primarily from high-level Tekken, in which King is my main character, a grappler and defensive punish-type character, and I feel that my mentality in Tekken as a King player translates very well to playing Ice Climbers in Melee. Take your time, bait out attacks, punish their wiffed attacks and force them to respect your grabs. Ice Climbers are also incredibly diverse characters to play, because despite me playing a lot of Spacies, Sheik and Marth, Ice Climbers are that extra spice that keeps me coming back and keeps the game fresh with variety in gameplay.

Dizzkidboogie is definitely my favorite ICs main. He's so creative and fun to watch!

Wobbles is the only ICs I can watch without wanting to turn off the stream.

Something that he didn't mention that also heavily limits the Ice Climbers movement, is they can't dash dance when they're together. Nana will become desynced from Popo if you attempt to dash dance when they're together, which will prevent her from shielding, meaning you'll be left wide open. This really limits their otherwise fantastic ground movement, which is why you see a lot of Ice climber mains pretty much solely using wavedash to move around the stage.

I played smash bros melee so much in highschool but never really at a high level or great understanding. I was pretty good compared to all my friends but I barely knew how to wavedash while no one else knew what it was. It's so cool that after all these years videos are being made on it 15 years later explaining mechanics and things I'd have never thought of.

I loved these 2 before i even knew what the wobble is

It's easy to tell that he had to search REALLY hard for any reason to main Ice Climbers at the end besides "You need to rely on Wobbling to win"

Chu Dat is my favourite by far. His goofy personality mostly, but also his legacy honestly makes him one of the greatest players of all time, being so high level back in the "golden era", and still being very skilled throughout the years. Including: Bo5 set win over Hungrybox in 2010 (while wobbling was banned), 2013 set win over M2K, Top 8 finishes at EVO 2015 and CEO 2016.

You're a ice climber player if... 1. You're pure evil. That's it.

These are my favorite smash videos! You should do more of these I watch them all the time.

YES I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG

Since im a subscriber for quite a long time i wanted to give u a big compliment :] almost everything fits the naration, the clips (!) and also the humor greetings from germany :)

Do you worship Satan? Then yes, Ice Climbers are your mains!

Favorite ICs player is fly amanita. Minimal wobble use, amazing throw game, and his sopo is so hype. Man is the reason i play ICs

Please do these for the rest of the cast. I love these analyses of each character's strengths and weaknesses and overall play styles.

Nintendude: "After playing @ArmadaUGS for hours in both ICs vs. Peach and ICs vs. Fox... I think Fox is actually ICs worst matchup."

Noticably missing from this "Are You a _____ Player?" video is the "Ready? ... GO!" after they're introduced and just before you actually start talking about them in-depth.

Favorite IC's is Chu. He embodies this character

I really like the way Nintendude plays ICs

Oh look, a video on Ice Climbers. I play that character. Here's my two cents on ICs - Power: 3.5/5. Ice Climbers have ruthless smashes and quick hits making them a force to be reckoned with when Nana and Popo are together. Their aerials hit like trucks and can send opponents offstage for early edgeguarding situations. Their power is proportionate to how many climbers are active on the field at a time though, and losing Nana from a string of one or two hits can reduce IC's power further than half. Not only to they lose their desync potential when Nana is removed from play, Popo struggles to gain footing in situations and is easily dealt with similar to Mario or other mid/low tiers. Speed: 3.5/5. Similar to Luigi, Ice Climbers have one of the best wavedashes in the game, allowing them to zip around the stage with insane speeds. Their landing lag on their aerials might not be the best, and their hitboxes on their smash attacks might be lacking (You generally can't hit somebody from the front of you if you try to up-smash with ICs.), but their insane ground game can carry them in and out of situations and create a split second bait/punish game when utilizing their wavedash with their dash dance and desync abilities. Range: 3.5/5. Ice Climbers have decently disjointed aerials that can beat out a wide variety of moves in Melee, as well as some decently sized tilts that can catch opponents off guard. Though their range is nowhere near Marth's level, it can still work on in favor of them beating able to beat moves coming at them. What really holds ICs back from having a higher range is their vertical mobility - interrupting people with their disjointed aerials is a test in itself. (Something to note. IC's fair is their highest reaching aerial, and Ice Climbers generally can not hit an opponent standing on the top platform of battlefield without using their double jump before their Uair. They simply won't reach it.) Ice Climbers also have issues with their grab range, which is actually smaller than one would think. Due to their low traction on the ground, well spaced aerials or specials can be impossible for the ICs to capitalize on, even if they are mistimed (A good example of this is trying to shield grab Falcon's side-b with IC's.). Recovery: 2/5. Ice Climber's recovery is one of the best examples of the term 'glass canon' in Melee. When Nana and Popo are together, their recovery can reach new bounds. On the flip side though, Popo struggles to get back to the stage. It's worth noting Popo is the one of the only characters in the game that can not turn around his Up-B when recovering alone, making it impossible to grab the ledge when he isn't facing it. Even with Nana and Popo together, a simple aerial and split them apart, and sending Nana into her tumble animation will secure her demise. Ice Climber's lackluster vertical recovery options are slow, and easily prone to shine spikes. Survivability: 3/5. Ice Climber's weight paired with survival DI can make them live for seemly insane percents, but can also be a burden to them. Making them an easy character to combo with just about any character in the cast, they are a easy target to kill. Overall Offense: 3.5/5. Ice Climber's burst movement options with their wavedash and their near-instantaneous downsmash makes them a force to be reckoned with. Their approaches are very reliant on their grounded moment however, and can be easy to predict with practice. Ice Climbers have trouble dealing with camping characters due to their poor mobility in the air, making characters like Captain Falcon a favorite in the two's matchup. (Platform camping is a very viable strategy against the Climbers.) Overall Defense: 2.5/5. Ice Climbers struggle against characters with a projectile-centric neutral like Peach, Young Link, and Samus. Though some of their moves like blizzard can help them escape low-impact projectiles such as needles, their poor platform game makes it difficult to escape from pressure. Ice Climbers are for you if: - You favor learning a complicated neutral game instead of a complex punish game - You have a technical mindset and a fervor to develop new tricks and change the meta - You want to be unique or you enjoy representing a underutilized character - You don't mind using a high variance character/You enjoy glass canon characters - You enjoy a variable moveset oozing with potentiallities. - You enjoy retro 2D platformers and old school Nintendo history

1:30 One of the hypest moments of my life was getting to watch that happen live.

I love the Ice climbers. Mainly because of their adorable little faces. They were my main in Brawl. I was really annoyed when they got rid of them for smash 4.

I mean I hate wobbling as much as the next guy but God damn do I live for them sick desync plays.

Yay! Finally an Ice Climbers videos!

Hey, I really like your videos, I recently got melee on my gamecube and I'm trying to main with jigglypuff. Are you going to make a How to practice Jigglypuff soon, cause that would be awesome, nice videos thx

Rip nana amd popo, may u be remebered always

Are you a Doc Main? Brings so much hype and would be amazing of you if you made one next please?

So happy the ice climbers are back in ultimate and they’re still very good characters to play as

We got roy, samus, and icies before peach? kira pls

Do you like your meals with extra CHEESE, if you do, you are an Ice climbers player.

another great video! keep it up!

You are an ice climbers player? You are if you want people to suffer then yes you are

I mean obviously it's Fly, he's in a tier of his own since he doesn't wobble (tbh that always bothered me that he would limit himself like that), but wobbles is a close 2nd. The day Fly Aminita starts wobbling will be the day that m2k wins a supermajor, armada doesn't make top 8, hbox switches to falcon and mango shaves his beard.

Ice Climbers are for you if: You enjoy OHKOS You want someone to bash your skull in after a match You don't enjoy the concept of friends

Little do you know, they do add king k rool and Ridley😏

FINALLY! A fun and interesting character to learn about! Thank you so much for making this video! Also, do a "Are you a Mewtwo Player?" sometime soon! You did the Roy one, so I don't think it's too much to ask, right?

do a "are you a Kirby player" I want to see the stats at the end

Ridley and K. Rool made it 2 years later

I love ice climber's plus im very good with watching both at once am planning each other to land hits in different spots

So when are pikachu tech videos or are you a pikachu main video coming out Kira??

How I use the Ice Climbers is that I just keep wavedashing and down smashing

This comment section is just salty ice climbers hate I don't like it because I think they are very unique and cool characters

Wobbles most definitely. Even wobbling is such a useful technique for ics, he isnt entirely dependent on it and uses their other options as well. Plus he's a pretty smart guy and styles a lot. After Wobbles, i'd say ChuDat and Fly Amanita. No disrespect to the other ics mains, those 3 are just my favorite.

question. where on the tier list would the ice climbers be on without wobbling

>Didnt Include Admiral in the ICIES mains But they did include Army

Can you do a video explaining how Pikachu edgeguards spacies? Similar to the one u did with Marth. Cuz that would be amazing if u did! Also my favorite IC player has to be Wobbles.

I love watching Wobbles

I would main the ICs but I'd absolutely suck at keeping both of them on stage

Favourite ICs Player is Fly, he's got a cool playstyle and seems to be a chill person too.

unrelated topic but what if marth had a projectile

My dude silent wolf just gets wailed on in so many famous clips

favorite ICs, definitely Tomber

if you play frendlies with an icies main, and they wobble you, is it still a friendly?

omg kira i can't believe you let jack black out of the ics main list.

ICS is for you if: -your controller only has working control stick z button and a button -you hate being liked by your friends -like telling people to just not get grabbed and get gud

Favorite Icies is Wobbles, no doubt.

Fly Amanita is probably my favorite, but Wobbles is insane

"Are you a Peach player?" video would be pretty awesome next.

Ice Climbers is a lot of fun to play! They are one of my mains, the other being Ganondorf. I still need to learn how to wobble though

Fly and Wobbles are both amazing, but Chu's old combo video is what made me pick up IC's in the first place. Never been a fan of Nintendude's style though.

Wobbles is still my favorite ICs, but Nintendude is way sicker than people realize. He has a very streamlined way of thinking, so he prefers optimal punishes, which is wobbling 100% of the time. But his neutral and grab setups are very smart and technical, which n00bs typically fail to understand.

needs more Admiral

Jason made it to notable players. The kid has made it

My favorite is a tie between wobbles and chudat

i had one person who actually banned ice climbers from his tournaments his reasons were abuse of freeze glitch and wobbling... although to be honest it would be better off to just ban these specific techniques then to outright ban the character

Did you know Eskimo is an Ojibway word that the Ojibway used when referring to the Inuit? It means "blubber eaters". The Ojibway called the Inuit Eskimos because that's what they did, eat blubber. (It can also mean "raw meat eater" depending on the dialect of Ojibway)

It always bugs me when people say wobbling is 0 to death. You gotta get them to 30% first to make it true; otherwise they can mash out of it

Wobbles and Fly are both my favourite, does that work?

LoL, yesterday i was thinking "that's it, i'm maining ICs." and now this video ^^

Fly Amanita kind of looks like Liquid Ocelot in the last picture.

Had to put army after getting 4 stocked twice ecks dee

I would love to see Ganon in this series!

the "eskimo" duo? TRIGGERED

Chu is prolly my fav icie main

''Are you a Luigi player?'' Next PLEASE :D

Show some love to our European IC mains Däumling and Tomber! :D

In memory of...
