I was arguing for Ice Climbers being worthy of high tier because their moveset was powerful, the fact that there is two of them is a gimmick that further accentuates it. If there was only one and the moves were slightly reworked to reflect that, Ice Climber could still be very high on the tier list because the moves would still be strong.

Nobody touched on the moveset and was only commenting on Nana gimmicks, which isn't where IC's strength comes from. Double hits are great, and double grabs are even better, but even just Popo is powerful, he just loses most of his vertical recovery.


Edit: and I'm still hoping konami gets a castlevania character in. Snake was cool and all, but I want dem whip combos.
