Ice Blue

All of Ice Blue’s moves focus on the ice tile. If you come in contact with an ice tile, and you aren’t playing as Ice Blue, then you become frozen for the duration of the ice tile’s existence (which is about 3 seconds). When frozen, you cannot move, jump, or do basic attacks, but you can do special attacks. Though, if your special attack carries you out of the ice tile, you still remain frozen.

Up Special: Ice Torrent

Ice Blue calls a pillar of ice to appear above its head.

Ice Blue's up special
Ice…TORRENT!

This move can travel through walls, but it doesn’t replace them.

So much for that hiding spot

You may have noticed from these screen shots that this move has a very low burn out number, averaging around 30 or 40.

Side Special: Ice Beam

Almost the same as Ice Torrent, Ice Beam shoots a row of ice tiles off of Ice Blue when used. Hence, a beam.

Notice again, that this move goes through walls, but doesn’t replace them

Down Special: Ice Sanctuary

When using this special, Ice Blue is surrounded by ice tiles. This has an extremely low burnout rate, but a smart enemy will simply avoid you when you use this attack.

I am…at peace

Strategies

For Ice Blue, strategies are extremely simple. Just use one of your special moves (it doesn’t matter which), to freeze the enemy. If your energy is lower then 30, run in and use basic attacks. The second they unfreeze, retreat and wait to freeze them again. Did I mention it was simple?
