Who uses PK Magnet?

[darklink92]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I usually don't find myself in situations where I can use the move, but when I do, I usually just dodge or shield.

 

[FuPoo]

i do it all the time

for slow fall and for recovering my % obviously. and for once, i used the pushback air that comes with it for a Dedede to not grab the ledge. it was grand feeling

 

[_clinton]

Yes...it can gimp...

 

[E-unit]

If they made the pushback move have more range or more pushback, it woulda been better

 

[Piks]

I use it for three reasons; Slowing down, pushing back, and obviously absorb things



I also use it to intercept another Ness'/Lucas' recovery

 

[GimmeAnFSharp]

I use it more with Lucas, because if you "miss" (read: anticipate incorrectly) you can sometimes get lucky and get a hit out of it. That, and opponents NEVER expect you to use it. It's a sweet mindgame tool.

But with Ness, I only use it wear applicable... obviously, if my opponent is playing Zelda I am going to eat every one of her Din's Fires. Any other situation I could see a use for it I would just use aerials or PK Flash. If the "push away" effect worked on all projectiles, that would be pretty sweet... but alas, no.

 

[Earthbound360]

I use it on Snakes grenades and Gyros.
But it's not that great honestly. PSIM lag cancel is wonderful though.

How does it work against grenades?

You can push grenades around with Ness' Magnet...you don't have to touch them...unless the Snake cooks them...grenade mind games aren't a big deal for Ness...

 

[Earthbound360]

You can push them around with the wind

 

[PKlucas84]

i use PSI magnet with lucas(who is better than ness)
to absorb projectiles and to recover
and i am offended that yu wud call it PK magnet

 

[PK Starstorm]

me too, it's PSI magnet not pk magnet. PSI but yeah, I use it all the time. for recovery purposes mostly. To slow down falls, and to stop the momentum when I'm being blasted away, so I survive. Also, by pushing forward with some momentum in the air, you can travel across with it. even though the distance is small, it really helps to get close to the stage without using your second jump.

Thanks because of you I bounced Snake's grenades back at him and he blew up! XD I was fighting a Snake player recently and I remembered this little advice you brought up and so I tried it myself. Snake eventually got it through his head to stop using it on me. He decided to use his Nikita and was smart enough to float it over me but I escaped it. I didn't know it worked on Gyros, though. Maybe next time I'll do that to that R.O.B. mainer and teach her that her projectile is useless! >8D

But yeah, I use the PSIM for recovery and recovering health. Oh and who cares if he called it PK Magnet? The techniques in Smash aren't really called PK anything. In the JP version of EarthBound (Mother), maybe, but in the US version of EarthBound 2, they called it PSI Thunder, Fire, Freeze and Flash. You got Psychokenesis (PK) and then I guess Psionics for PSI, though PSI is pronounced Pee Ees Eye and not sigh. <_<' Sorry for the study lecture.

 

[Kros]

It's also great for 2vs2 with Lucas/Samus/Zelda on your team and Friendly Fire on.

 

[Fatmanonice]

I use it for airstalling like I do with Mario's cape. I haven't been able to figure out how to make it consistently practical for anything else besides absorbing elemental attacks.

 

[PCHU]

It seems to have startup lag.
That's what got me killed.
But I use it anyway.

Exactly the same as me except I use it to push people away from the stage a few times =). Have done it to a 3D though =D. Psy.

 

[Xyless]

I use it a lot, just like I do with G&W's bucket. Though I use the bucket far more, since it has more practical use over time.

XD WTF? That's awesome, guys! I'm going to do that to my friend next time he plays as 3D!

 

[Petdiams]

I use it on team battles a lot, great for healing ^^ I use it sometimes like if I am being spammed at by a Pit or a Fox =3

Also...
My First Post on Smashboards =3

 

[Gindler]

It really does take away like half of a falco's game. Too bad there aren't as many falcos as there used to be.

 

[Meme]

I mainly for air stalling and of course against absorbable Projectiles, and against Pikachus who spam Thunder after D-Smash.

Really good move in teams if you have a Pika or Samus Partner; maybe even Lucas with PK Freeze.

 

[PKSkyler]

if it had more of a pushing effect after its used, I would use it more, but i dont use it much cause when a flaco shoots his lazers at me, if i use psi magnet then im ussually close enough for him to just side b me or running usmash or dash attack.

 

[PK Starstorm]

my aerial recovery is now better than ever, and i suvive alot of attacks you'd think I'd die from. I find myself saying "thank god for psi magnet" alot. it's also good for surprize aerial rises as well. lure your opponent in with it's mesmerising blue waves, deactivate, rise into aerial headbut or spike. XD it's epic!!

PSIM Lag cancel
Ducking under the lasers is very effective also.

 

[zacharia zako]

i use it in SSE to get healed easily for sticker farming. just stand by a scope primid and let it shoot u with PSIM up. I think ness's is better than lucas's since Ness has his surrounding his whole body and lucas doesn't

except that doesn't matter bcuz lucas turns around and absorbs any projectiles shot from behind automatcally. Also lucas' recovers more health, and lucas' is a very potent kill move, so it is not better than lucas' in any way.

 

[Ademisk]

Who DOESN'T use PSI Magnet? Great against Pits, Marios, Lucario, pretty much anyone with an energy projectile.

oh thanks i didnt know he turns around

 

[AbsoluteZero255]

I really learned something from this... You gan gimp with PSI magnet! Who knew?

Anyway, I use it for airstalling and absorbing.

But now I'm gonna use it for gimping .

 

[parvus]

i seldom use it, but after reading all this that's definetely going to change

 

[Masky]

for some reason psi magnet randomly makes people miss stuff sometimes
i'm serious
like three times marth uairs haven't hit me even though the marth was right below me

 

[Earthbound360]

That's cuz it stalls your fall
On the ground, it pushes people
Both things can make people miss

 

[Masky]

I know, but I mean I was still in range but didn't get hit somehow
either I am just mistaking the attack's range or some weird stuff was going on
if no one can back me up on this we can just assume I'm mistaken

 

[Brinzy]

I find myself using it against people with nothing for me to absorb...

 

[A_man13]

PSI magnet is rarely used in my aersonal, but I use it when

-Whenever I am above or far away from a pika
-Whenever I start a match/ Have a lot of distance from Fox/Falco
-Pit's arrows
-Other energy spammers.
