Belay

Belay is the Ice Climbers' up special move in all of their playable Super Smash Bros. appearances. Popo/Nana throws their partner up into the air, allowing them to use a belay to pull themselves upwards. It is also able to damage anyone who gets in the way of the attack. The attack is far less effective if only Popo/Nana is in the battle, where the solo Ice Climber performs only a little hop, and has no effect when used on the ground. Both Ice Climbers are put into a helpless state once the move finishes.
