Ice Climbers 2.0 discussion.

Lots of changes to Ice Climbers that make them much funner to play as and make them feel less like characters that were just given enhanced stats like they were in previous builds.

Some nice things found, feel free to contribute:

Using Ice Block (Neutral B) while landing causes Nana to use the move while Popo is free to do whatever he wants. This is great for Ice Block chase, which is in itself even better in Minus due to the sure presence even a single ice block has.

Many moves have "teamwork" gimmicks given to them depending on if the move is tapped or held, the most obvious ones being F-tilt and D-tilt, which greatly aid in quickly desynching the two while still giving you freedom of move choice.

I've still not seen any way to control Nair. Sometimes Nana does it twice and sometimes not, is any word on what's with this move? Because it was like this in 1.6 as well.

Feel free to discuss, add, rant, or anything else related to these two icy kin.

I'd really like to know more about all their teamwork gimmicks, I keep finding really interesting things whenever I see them played.
LIVE, THREAD.

These guys are brutal even when you're "mashing buttons" in essence; i.e. you point them at the target and hope things work. If someone figures out how to abuse their desynchs then they will be EVIL!

I'm just scared because now even my spam-obsessed sparring partner can use desynched icicles and just normal icicles were bad enough in his hands. If he ever learns how to, say, blizzard with one climber and grab with the other I'll be in deep do-do.

Speaking of which, I'm sure the ice climbers still have some pretty crazy chain grabs, even if they can't nana-popo back and forth all day long. You could get some popo-only chain grabs going for long enough to spike at the end of them, and with all the fancy new Minus stuff I'm sure that that's still possible. What was it again? Dthrow-icicle-regrab-dthrow-icicle-regrab-dthrow-icicle-regrab-dthrow-squall hammer-regrab-dthrow-SH fair? or some combination thereof? Primary IC does the throws and grabs, secondary does the other stuff, profit happens. Is this not so?

Any word on how Nair works? It still seems to happen randomly for me.
