I randomly found this when I was wandering the other boards (actually after watching some of Shaky/NickRiddle matches): http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=260661. It somewhat underrates Ness though.

I agree with rPSI on the PK Flash issue. Faster release would be nice. DO NOT make it explode on contact with the ground; if you want it to explode no matter what, shorthop it. Letting it hit the ground is a countermeasure against reflection. Actually, cool idea: Don't make Ness go into...

You tailwhip and then hit with the head. The tailwhip prevents them from attacking the head. Edit: @Thunda-Moo It's too short a distance to really juggle, and the hitstun is really low so they can avoid you (by airdodging, jumping again, or attacking).

Does anyone know if the shield damage modifier affect shield stun? Or is it just proportional to plain damage? Or what? If so, adding large amounts of shield damage could create frame advantages. As for Super Armor frames, my gut says not to put them on aerials. That just seems unnatural.

The video files are simply lists of controller inputs, so when you watch a replay, the game is simply running again. You can tell this because when you play replays in the Brawl mods like B+ or Balanced Brawl, the human characters desynch and eventually suicide, but computer players don't do...

No; grab releases work pretty well. Dthrow can be DI'd to almost straight up, so they can avoid the spike (especially with the startup on dair). Fthrow is more effective, as well as doing more damage and getting them offstage for PKT guarding.

Anyone have a video of the new-and-improved Castle Siege? I don't have a wii at the moment, so I can't try it out.

You used PK Fire far too often, especially since it's useless vs. aerial opponents (you seemed to try it a lot vs. the tornado). You were being somewhat predictable when recovering; the first stock you lost in the first match was because the MK read that you were heading for the ledge. 1st...

The problem with Ness's fair is that while it may outrange many of MK's aerials, the largest hitboxes are the weakest and do very little damage. You must realize that you have connected with the move, and then aerial-control forward into the opponent to do any real damage, unlike MK's...

I redid your avatar; how can I send it to you?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_scaling PNG vs. JPEG is not affected by resizing. PNG is lossless compression (it stores all of the values exactly as they were. JPEGs are lossy, but well-suited to photographs (rather than pixel art or text). If you want to upscale a pixel art image, you...

gimp is way cheaper (and legally, too!). And is awesome in many ways. And is open-source.

What about the effect on SDI-ability of bair that was mentioned earlier? Unless the hitlag can be restored to its current value...

Has everyone disappeared from the forums?

Yeah. It has 2 sweetspots. The whole thing can trip randomly, but there is a near sweetspot (the char overlapping with Ness's body) and a far sweetspot (described by AvariceX). I consider myself good at tripping people; If you know what the spacing looks like, you can just throw out a single...
