Announced at E3 2001, the Ice Climbers (アイスクライマー, Ice Climber) are playable characters in Super Smash Bros. Melee. They currently rank 7th on the official tier list thanks to their amazing camping game, solid aerial and ground game, but primarily due to their extensive and intricate grab game that can completely shut down opponents once it begins. However, if Nana is KO'd, Popo cannot use special moves correctly and is somewhat helpless during recovery.
