This character is definitely top tier. And probably the most difficult to play in the game. Melee players there you go. If you want 8 inputs a second this is your character

[@snitchbug]

they never really have had amazing neutral game and get out ranged by sword characters but we’ll see

[@AediionTV]

The problem is is so many melee players will have wobbling PTSD that they won’t even think about touching this character

[@SamiJ1508]

@@snitchbug I could see them having an issue with neutral game. their projectile isn't terrible and covers the ground (pichu can crouch under it) A projectile always helped neutral game a lot but is anyone Kim reliably pull off the combos shown in this video it's going to be insane. That regrab combo did like 70% Also desync side B has ridiculous shield pressure and is super hard to get around I think will be a good neutral move even. Over all ridiculous shield pressure and ridiculous combos is going to make a good character even if they have slightly more trouble getting in which like I said with their projectile won't even be that big of a deal especially if they can desync the projectile and rush down with the other one

This makes me incredibly excited to see some top level ICs play.

[@davidbessex6685]

Actually kinda excited because since wobbling isn't a thing, all of these combos are actually super technical. As a viewer, i want to see this in tournaments real soon.

[@KaizerHuter]

Yeah I also like this. It looks pretty cool, and so far, doesn't seem nearly as obnoxious as wobbling (which was definitely, inexcusably, the worst). If I had to be perfectly honest, that continuous re-grab one seemed a bit annoying, but it still didn't seem nowhere near as easy to pull off as wobbling, and it didn't seem like you could just keep doing it indefinitely. Plus, It's hard to tell how effective most of these things would be in a real, competitive scenario. For a person with human reactions, the only way to successfully land these chains would be to commit to them before you know whether you landed the combo opener or not, meaning, if you whiff the opening grab/aerial, at least NANA (if not both) will be stuck for a while in a follow-up for a missed combo. But it's hard to tell. That missed follow up might just make it harder for the opponent to punish... For now, I honestly hope this doesn't get patched out.

[@mupumupu2842]

Finally people wont hate my childhood favourite

[@Carlisho]

Tadao SMB this will stay, you literaly cant patch desynch. Popo and Nana are two characters, they cant share the same hitbox.

[@KaizerHuter]

@@Carlisho It's always possible to make changes that would make combos like these impossible. Make a few changes that more efficiently detect when Nana and Popo aren't synchronized, and have a CPU try to get re-synchronized with Popo with literally no input from the player having any effect on Nana. Is an example of something that they could do to make it so that desynch combos are no longer an option. Of course, they can't patch out Desynch, but they CAN make desynching be more of a disadvantageous thing that players would try to avoid, rather than actively try to do. The whole Nana taunting when Popo grabs someone, for example, was an attempt at making desynch combos (or at least wobbling) impossible.

[@snowflyer9737]

What I recommend to anyone trying to desync for the first time is to adjust the speed in advanced settings in training mode. It really helps you understand what timing you need. As you get better you can speed up the time bit by bit until you can do it normally.

[@tricksyfroggy]

if i may add on some info to this, the neutral desync that involves doing a special can be easily done without having to throw out a special first just by holding shield and then holding special while shielding. this will make it so that the special input will not buffer for popo, and since you can cancel shield into grab by pressing A, you can easily just grab, release shield, keep holding special, and nana will do whatever special you like at the cost of only putting up shield and whiffing grab. conveniently special+shield also stops you from doing a directional dodge in this game so that helps with easily deciding which direction special to do!

[@TuxRacing69]

its the same with A so you can literally just sheild grab to get a desync, this shit is so nuts

[@Thegameplayer69]

Finally! Someone who figured this out! Another bit of info just for you, you can decync off of side b in the same way you decync off of a down throw, try it out. That means if you buffer something for one of them, as long as you do SOMETHING for the other, both will happen causing a decync, if you don’t do anything for one of them, it won’t work

[@felipecastro2334]

Hey Izaw. I can’t say this is confirmed but I found during training that if, after grabbing and throwing someone, you short hop + attack and then directional air dodge immediately, Popo will dodge in the air while Nana will perform the attack you inputted. Hope this helps.

[@bitz3225]

You’re on a roll with Ultimate Izaw

[@spiritualak5147]

I learned this in under a minute, well the first part of the grab portion. What really helped me is when you grab, hit b to do the head butt animation. In the midst of that hold down. You will see nana do the down b freeze. Which was in put by you, while hold down, and already pressing b after. Then it will switch to popo. Quickly choose a special option, after that it will switch to nana choose a special option. Then on and on. Only thing nana can’t do is grab, but popo can to reset. A basic starter combo is grab hit b a couple of times to head but then press down, in the midst of you pressing b nana will do down b freeze. Then quickly press down b again to have popo do freeze. When popo is in his freeze animation you now have control over nana, run up with her and do an up-tilt. While she’s in that animation you are now in control of popo now have him run up and to an up air. And you can create your own string along the way.

[@Greennoob2]

This is useful for probably more than 50% of the players since we’ve never played the previous games competitively

[@sodiumfluoridel]

Pretty cool to see such a high quality guide coming from such a small youtuber. great job dude! Also I remember one time when I was goofing off with the ice climbers in training mode, and nana got permanently desynced. not just like, a small temporary thing that reverts once they get close together, but nana was totally messed up. she wouldnt respond to any commands, and would only move slightly when we were close together, and even then she would go really slowly, her walk animtaion was broken, and if you went to fast she'd fall behind. Whenever popo died, and nana vanished, even after I got off the respawn platform, nana would just hover there for a few more seconds, and even after taking damage or getting launched she would stay In this state. No matter how hard I tried I couldnt recreate it, and I still wonder how it happened. just thought id share

This sounds like a lame tip, but I want to remind everyone that what Popo does always comes first. Don't expect Nana to do something if PoPo is still able to move around and accept inputs. The reason that desyncs work is because there are frams where PoPo isn't doing anything and Nana IS, so watch out for accidentally inputting something you wanted to do for Nana instead of Popo, make sure he's already doing something first.

[@Pablo_Martin_aa]

[@icedegg7461]

I found a way like this where you grab then buffer neutral b. After that hold a direction like to your right. If done right nana will do a side b after running foward

[@reynolds8828]

[@Tri-otus]

Some notes for myself For spot doge and roll the most important part is holding grab and then holding down during down throw. For Grab the most important part is buffering BOTH roll and nair (after the shine buffer roll then nair, making sure you start buffering nair before he hits the ground and ending it after)

[@2fischerman]

holy shit.... ice climbers mains incoming..

I play ice climbers whenever I wanna have some good old casual fun, but i always wanted to learn how to desync. Thanks for the guide!

[@kevcopo]

I think I’m too stupid for this 😢

[@KieranBriggs-f8o]

I tried to figure it out once like 3 years ago. I figured out kind of how to desync, but I didn't know what to do after I achieved it, and I could only do it at .75x speed

You can hold down throw and nana spot dodges and still have popo do something and then have nana do something

my god dunno the true tier list from this game

what if I told you there is no true tier list

[@Lara777xD]

all characters are op hahah

[@JonLucy_downunder]

I found it so amazing how Nintendo implemented the Ice Climbers, two characters from a simple vertical-scrolling climbing game, so you can do the wackiest stuff with the double character

[@rayquazaking183]

I found a way to desync them really easily!!!! When popo grabs the oponent, press a for an attack and immediately press down b and then combo away

[@Smug-Sonic]

I can't seem to get it. Do you press a to pummel?

Ice Climbers are like the forbidden demons of Smash. Call upon them and you straight up just win the game, but in return for victory you must sacrifice your hands.

Wow. This means a whole new thing for smash. Ice Climbers are one of my favorite characters and now I'm going to need to train with these combos

**sees thumbnail** izaw wtf they're like 6

[@els21]

by the way, when you hold down to input a down throw, use the left analog stick instead of the right, and press b the exact same time as you do this, to instantly input a down throw to a down b instantly and quite easily. Hope this helped because I was struggling to input this.

Can't wait for people to complain, and cry for a nerf, so sick, of seeing people cry for nerfs so early into a fighting games life, the neutral hasn't even discovered yet. Let alone character matchups/character techs/character metas.

[@justinm3493]

What kills me is people don't understand how technically hard this is, a 3 frame window is 3/60 of a second to pull off. You mess up you get punished. Not to mention they are extremely slow and have a hard time getting in and lose hard to sword characters.

[@numberjuaanctr420]

Dude right!? It’s one thing to patch out Buggs and hiccups but remember when how the game came out that’s how it stayed? I prefer that..or if you feel certain characters are too weak just buff them instead of everyone getting nerfed so the bad characters stand a chance I’d rather have a bunch of fun crazy characters rather than everyone being bland and safe and simple there’s no fun in winning bcuz everyone and everything is safe....

[@ForceOfWill100]

This is the one thing melee will always have. As much as there is certainly some quirky bullshit in the game, I've sincerely loved watching the game evolve organically over the last 18 years in its original form. Now if you need me, I'll be pulling people through battlefield with Mewtwo's side B 😎

[@quazillionaire]

This is great! Very detailed and thorough. The only thing I think this needs is some button combos on-screen. It can get a bit wordy and hard to follow at some points, and I think a simple visual to show the inputs that are happening would clarify things a lot.
