When charged, [[ARMS_(equipment)|ARMS]] with the '''Ice''' attribute will freeze fighters, causing them to slow down and become unable to jump or dash temporarily. Additionally, fighters' punches will travel at a noticeably slower speed while frozen, and their ARMS will be unable to build or hold a charge as long as the effect persists.

Ice ARMS can be very useful for putting pressure on opponents. A fighter's options are severely limited under the effects of Ice, so it can be used to force an opponent into a significantly more predictable--and punishable--pattern of actions. Ice can also be used to cancel some fighters' abilities, such as [[Min Min|Min Min]]'s dragon arm or [[Max Brass|Max Brass]]' "buffed up" state. Even "perma-charge" abilities will be temporarily disabled for the duration of the freeze. | |||
