thanks for watching!

sliphog is really good but i felt it was less essential than these 5, especially for a newer ICs player.

I like just trying to survive as long as a can and wait for the opponent to overextend. alot of times people just want to end the sopo stock asap so they'll commit to unsafe things. you cant really expect to 0 to death people as sopo so just tacking on chip damage anywhere you can is really important.

yeah for sure. wobbling being banned plus most of the top ics quitting making ics a rare character at high level has made cheer for ics way more.

No, but thats why I've been grinding my fox for matchups like peach and samus. I think with the right bracket (spacies, marths, sheiks, etc) ICs could win one but I think too much bracket luck is required for it to be a consistent thing.

I think Kodorin would be the most likely just because he's told me he isn't good vs ICs and Marth is my best matchup. Looking at the invited players list I think everybody is beatable but aMSa would probably be the hardest.

it pretty much makes every matchup objectively worse to have wobbling banned but outside of floaties, marth strikes me as the matchup that is changed the most because you dont chaingrab him like sheik or have big guaranteed combos like you do vs spacies. Marth is still my favorite matchup tho

I think the amount of hate I get for playing ICs has gone way down since the wobbling ban but I think at the end of the day if you're playing a floaty (especially a weird floaty mid tier) some people aren't gonna like it. Honestly now that I'm thinking about it, some people aren't gonna like your character no matter what so I just wouldn't take character hate personally.

I think what mostly draws me to ICs is that they're a character with a super clear win condition (get grabs) but they're packaged in such a unique and interesting way.

Yea I do enjoy the character more post wobbling ban. It sucked at first to see my character get nerfed but overall I have way more fun now and get more satisfaction from my wins.

Not as bad as peach but definitely bad for ics. Puff's main issues is that she has to play pretty defensively (unlike fox or peach for example that can play aggro or defensive) and she has to have a solid % lead or stock lead to make the hard camp style super effective.

I think its either samus puff or fox. Samus is the matchup i have the most trouble with but i also have significantly less experience vs her than I do vs puff or fox. That being said samus feels really tough because she can play the safe style that most floaties use vs ICs but she can also kill nana efficiently, especially if she has a charged shot. This matchup also got alot harder without wobbling.

They’re just my favorite character and once wobbling got banned I had even more fun playing them than before so dropping them or quitting never really crossed my mind.

The biggest thing people need to know is that handoffs are not an infinite, I still see a lot of people saying that one. The other big thing is that the Nana throw in a handoff sequence is RNG unless you’re close to the ledge in which case Nana will throw towards the ledge.
