Ness's yo-yo...

[Deleted member]

Is his yo-yo seriously that good in this game? When I tried to unlock him (which I eventually did), he used the yo-yo multiple times and that thing sent me flying at a good distance. I eventually went through 1P Mode again as Fox, repeatedly shot at him first, played regularly and then unlocked him.

His yo-yo is okay... but not okay enough to make him top tier =)

Well, I wasn't referring to tiers...

His dsmash can be an edgaurding option, and his usmash CAN be used as a combo extender if you know what your doing as demonstrated by @ MrMarbles in one of his threads (I believe in the video section of the 64 forum.)

But generally speaking, no, even ness and all the loveable trash that he is... most times has better options.

his dsmash is amazing for edgegaurds, but not much use in the neutral. As far as his upsmash, the better i get with ness the more odd/situational uses i find for it. it has a bunch of hitboxes that can be used in a few different ways that are hard to explain in writing.

here is a combo i made a few months ago showing the versatility of his usmash and dsmash

yea ness' downsmash is one of the best moves for edgeguarding characters with bad recovery.

The upsmash covers a suprisingly high area too. Its a solid move, the lag after the move is minimal as well

down smash has a huge radius so it's good for edgeguarding or killing
