The Ice Climbers themselves are difficult to grab because since only one can be grabbed, the one that isn't grabbed can interrupt the thrower. They also have some of the best chaingrabs in the game. Although their grab range isn't impressive, they still have high-damage grab combos, including ones that can kill opponents from 0% damage. Where the Ice Climbers really shine is grabs. The Ice Climbers can do an infinite grab known as Wobbling (which is generally tournament legal) and the freeze glitch (which is not tournament legal).

The Ice Climbers's attacks are generally fairly short-ranged.

Nana can be unresponsive at times and killed at low damage when she is separated from Popo, but she can also be somewhat of a shield for some attacks. The Ice Climbers have the unique property of being a 'two in one' character, as Popo and Nana must work together very well in order to be an effective fighter.
