It’s undeniable that Slug is the most incredible Icies player right now. And I especially appreciate the fact that he shows very clearly, despite wobbling being behind us, icies is still a capable character in terms of the upper echelon of rankings. My only concern is…is his winning based on handoffs and the character matchups susceptible to them? 🧐 Great showings every time nonetheless, much lovessss ❤
I mean, ICs have incredible dominion on the ground, so it's only natural that grounded characters eat dirt from handoffs and great desynch neutral. Hence why most floaties have a good matchup vs them, and why platform camping them can be very successful. What SluG does differently from almost every ICs, however, is how he 1) actually builds his flowcharts around reaction, 2) threatens with empty positioning and movement to optimize openings instead of throwing out instant "get off me-options" and 3) how he mixes up his play style between fishing for grab -> handoffs and throwing out knockdowns+aerial interceps with sufficient complexity so that the opponent can't v comfortably play around both. Sorry for the rant, but SluG is very interesting. First ICs after ChuDat that I feel "has what it takes" to contest for the very top (Wobbles will always be my favorite, but he was too flashy).
2:26 Nana and Popo are separated And SluG's sopo comes out on the punish As someone on the receiving end You think he's gonna wanna do something to stall you out until Nana gets there So you just try to gain your footing back and get out of their ASAP But nope Dash attack Grab Instant backthrow Reads your tech-in-place with an INSTANT wavedash-downsmash Beautiful SluG is so much fun to watch
Jesus Christ Slug is cracked. Also so bummed, these are my favorite two players, for them to face in winners so early
Dthrow dair is lowkey the biggest chump check in the game

Melee community: Wobbling is now banned!
Slug: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Slug is a fucking god. If he can just unlock one more tick in his brain he could send this shit to be the best unbeatable icies ever.

Slug is built different.
7:01 Just FYI Toph (I think that's Toph), Nana actually double-jumped but missed ledge.
