On large stages, the Glacier barely occupies space, and you need to chase your opponent into it, to deal piddly-damage.
On TOO small stages, it’s more a hazard to you then to them. It seems to have odd properties with semi-solid platforms that can let the Climbers slip through them, and can easially wind up to Nana and Popo sliding to their death with no say in the matter because there’s virtually no where to stand but Glacier. While they continue to get hit and juggled… you just slide off into oblivion. (See: Bottom floor of Castle Siege) Not to mention AI Nana just seems to think of it as a giant playground slide at times. WHEEEE-WAAA!
But then there’s a few stages that are JUST RIGHT- stages where it gives a couple footholds big enough to exist on, but small enough to prevent escape from the glacier itself, and you can rack up a ton of damage and, if you see 'em freeze, attempt a kill move.
dodge, dodge like its going out of style. or throw someone else in the way :lovin:
I probably pissed that random link player off something fierce.
basic brawl, Im lucario. he is link and 2 other players that dont matter. link player gets the smashball and I get lucky with a dodge. match continues and he gets the smashball again, I watch him like a hawk, “when is he going to use the damn thing!?”, then he just stands still, oh shit!!! I grab the other player and toss him behind me, link hits the other guy and the timer runs out before he can make the kill.
Pit is probably the easiest to punish out of his FS animation. I’ve nailed Capt. Falcon a few times too.
Also, it’s almost completely unavoidable taking damage from Lucas’ final smash on small stages like Wario Ware. Though I doubt Wario Ware will be in tourney play, I just wanted to point that out.
I tried shielding everyone else’s final smash with Pits magic shield. It doesn’t work, and it seems as if they only did that with Samus to nerf her even more :lol:.
if you’re one of the characters with a counter (ex.ike, marth, lucario, peach) you could just activate your counter whenever they’re near you to get them off your back since the cold damage can be countered.
