Final Smash - Iceberg:
Causes a giant iceberg to appear in the center of the stage. Causes freezing damage to anyone near it, and can do up to 200 damage. Can also freeze solid and send flying anyone that actually touches it. Lasts for 25 seconds.
Strategy:
Ice Climbers take FOEVER to get used to, and are not recommended for anyone other then experts. Controlling two characters at once is nearly impossible, but the payout is huge if you can get it down. Use your two stage attack to catch opponents off guard. Don't forget about your Ice Shot, as it can catch people off guard, as can Blizzard.
Defense Strategy:
Don't be fooled, there are two of them, and many of their attacks use both of them in a delayed fashion. Wait until their full combo is over before moving in or de-shielding. Their range isn't that great, so keep a distance. They are also very light, so if you can get in and land a blow, they wont last long. Try to keep them in the air as much as possible and juggle them.
Here are some extra comments from the members of our forums for Ice Climbers...
Popo in blue, Nana in pink, the tag team duo of the Ice Climbers return. Players are in control of Popo, while Nana follows behind computer controlled, usually copying Popo. They can attack seperately, although when together their abilities are increased, such as being able to perform their 'Beley' recovery.
Final Smash - Iceberg:
Nana and Popo high-five each other to form a huge iceberg that pierces through and covers most of the stage. It serves as an obstruction on the stage as well as damaging and possibly freezing enemies. The Ice Climbers are completely unaffected by it and are able to walk on it normally.
