Blizzard, their down special, can freeze opponents and has both Ice Climbers attacking one side whether on the ground or in midair. Their neutral special, Ice Shot, is a projectile fired by each Ice Climber which slides along the ground, making it impossible to avoid by crouching/ crawling, though it can damage the Climbers themselves if the blocks are attacked or reflected.
