Ice Cream

Ice Cream is a newcomer in Super Smash Bros. All Stars. She was announced during E8 2018 Nintendo Direct on August 23rd, 2018. She is one of the thirteen thirdary newcomers.

Ice Cream is currently ranked 99th out of 113 on the tier list, placing her in the O tier. Ice Cream possesses a great combo game: her up tilt, forward throw and down aerial are very good combo starters, with the latter also boasting guaranteed KO set-ups that are effective even against floaty characters, while her forward and up aerials are useful for partaking in a wall of pain and juggling, respectively. All of these attributes facilitate a strong edgeguarding potential, and allow her to perform its signature Wall of Pain technique, although not with quite the same potency, while her neutral and back aerials are potent KOing options.

However, Ice Cream suffers from light weight, slow movement and difficulty landing safely, which can lead to her being overwhelmed by aggressive opponents. Ice Cream is also vulnerable to edgeguarding, due to Blizzard Slash's linearity making it fairly easy to gimp.

As a result of these factors, Ice Cream's representation and results in non-local tournaments are rather poor. Despite this, she still has some dedicated players to her credit, such as Laniz, La Sonja, and Omicrox, with the latter of the three scoring a major upset at CEO 2016 by defeating Quadruple C 2-0 in pools.
