Ice Climbers vs Palutena
Matchup Tips and Strategies
When playing Ice Climbers against Palutena, focus on maintaining your distance to avoid her powerful aerials and zoning tools. Be cautious of her Explosive Flame and Nair, as they can punish over-commitments; instead, look for opportunities to use Ice Blocks to disrupt her approach. Avoid trying to punish her Aria on shield, as this can lead to her retaliating with a quick aerial or a well-timed dash attack. Instead, capitalize on her off-stage moments; her recovery can be exploited with well-timed edge-guarding from the Ice Climbers, especially using down air or back air to secure KOs.
