I've settled on Ness, Falcon and Villager as my mains (Lucas being someone I play when I want to mess around and have fun.) These pretty much cover each other's weaknesses. I have a pocket Sheik for RosaLuma.

Ness and Lucas are definitely more viable than Mario. I rarely face an issue with Ness' recovery. His 2nd jump is enough to reach the stage most of the time and if you properly position yourself when recovering with PKT you'e pretty much begging your opponent to risk losing their stock at an...

I miss Snake ;_;

I currently main the MOTHER boys (Ness and Lucas) and I love them to death. I tend to struggle somewhat to Rosalina's and swordsmen. Captain Falcon covered most of Ness' weaknesses in the early stages in the game but then Sakurai's kids told him that they view Falcon as more of a father figure...

Falcon. His ridiculous ground and air speed helps against Sheik and Rosalina.

I don't want to go through 360 pages of text so maybe someone can some this up for me but what exactly is holding Megaman back? It seemed that everyone's first impressions were that he wasn't every good although not much reason is ever given why. He has excellent zoning/spacing tools, good...

A good Ness will only use PK Fire to punish. Against Megaman I use it whenever he throws out one of his laggier movies like U-tilt or I anticipate a roll. However, as long as you space your moves properly and don't throw out ill-advised moves you should be fine. Keep Ness at mid-range distance...

Good points, I'm on my phone, otherwise I'd continue to discuss this, but I think we're just beating a dead horse here. The matchup is in Megaman's favor, I just don't think it's a matchup where Ness players should immediately switch to a secondary one. Like I mentioned earlier I'm still...

Ness/Megaman is a pretty even matchup. Maybe it's because Megaman really isn't used much but no Ness main shudders at the thought of Megaman like we do with Sonic and RosaLuma, Megaman has a solid camping game, not as amazing as Brawl Snake or Dunk Hunt but a solid, reliable and effective one...

I personally struggle with campier characters that force Ness to approach so Fox is my secondary. I have a pocket Sheik in case things get really bad.

As a Ness/Fox main (who's trying to pick up Megaman) I'm surprised Fox isn't loathed. He's pretty much Falcon but with a Reflector. Has his Blaster to force you to approach, can reflect Megaman's zoning moves, mobile on the air and ground and can rack up an insane amount of damage quicker than...

Sorry to steer this a bit off topic but how do you deal with characters with physical projectiles? I find that Megaman, Samus, Link, etc. are the characters I have the most trouble with. Ness doesn't have the greatest approach options. PK Fire gets beaten, PKT2 takes too long and me weaving...

I strongly disagree. Look at what some are considering to be the most viable characters in Smash: Diddy, Sheik, Yoshi, Fox, Sonic, RosaLuma, ZSS None of them fit into a campy playstyle. In fact almost all of them are up there because they have fantastic and reliable approach options. So far...

I keep forgetting Ness can absorb Link's bombs, seems so trippy haha. I feel like good Megaman players will bait the lemons so a Ness can absorb them and they can punish accordingly. I still haven't used much of the PSI magnet because of the ending lag but I heard the lag is reduced if Ness...

Particularly Megaman, Duckhunt and Link (who I feel is still a hard matchup for Ness)? >I haven't had much experience facing a good Duck Hunt but I included him since I imagine other posters here may have useful tips against what may evolve to be one of the most used Smash 4 characters...
