I agree to an extent. But I mean it’s cool that we have some semblance of a ranking system, even tho it’s flawed. And I like the idea of battle arenas, although it could have been implemented better. I’m pretty sure you can go to “background matchmaking” if you don’t wanna get matched with a...

I really hope you’re right about him not getting nerfed. But I disagree. I think dair is absolutely better than it was in 4. I’ve probably gotten more spikes with it in a week than I have in my entire time playing smash 4. Also, I’m not exactly sure of the frame data, but PSI magnet definitely...

He just feels too good. He’s everything he was in smash 4, but better. Down smash is like an easy kill at ledge, up air got a huge buff, and dair is a legit spike now, like a slightly less powerful Falcon dair. Not to mention PSI magnet has a hitbox and is faster... he honestly feels OP to me.

I think I've seen FOW land a jump canceled PK fire immediately after getting a nair. Not sure if that's a true combo but it seemed guaranteed to me. Just wondering if you guys know of any competitive uses for it. I'd like to see videos too. And I get that it can be a "mixup", but I'm not...

It's a shame that Bowser has a bad MU with Rosa because I'm a Ness main and Bowser is my secondary which doesn't really help there. Would you say Bowser at least has a better MU against Rosaluma than Ness?

The worst IMO are Rosa, Villager, Sheik and Mario. Personally I have a hard time against Lucas too. Link can be rough, but once you get past his projectiles, Ness wins solidly.

Counter? Or compliment as a secondary? The best counter for Ness is Rosalina & Luma. A good secondary would be anyone fast IMO. Sheik, Sonic, ZSS, etc.

Oh awesome thanks! Looks like a really good resource.

Does anyone have data on priority in this game? Or is it just kinda something you have to get a feel for? I've unexpectedly had some dairs beaten by upairs and upsmashes so I wanted to do some research

So one of my "bread and butter" combos is dair -> z cancel -> uptilt x4 or 5, and then I usually follow it up with a bair or dair, but I feel like I could follow it up better. By the time I jump to as high as they are at that point, I can't land and z cancel so the combo just ends there. Is...

I'm just getting back into 64, but I seem to remember getting a lot of dair strings with Ness in this game. It was something like, SH -> dair -> dair -> z-cancel? -> repeat. And tech chase if needed. I'm not sure how well this actually works in high level play tho. The worst thing about Ness to...

It might be a little far for you, but the 64 scene is growing in the Philadelphia region. It's not huge yet but a bunch of guys from the Smash 4 group are getting into it. There's a tournament this Friday in Willow Grove.

In the neutral I usually like to space with SH fair and SH nair, but always make sure to fall back out of range so you don't get punished. If that baits an approach, dash away and turn around with Pk fire or bair. It's mostly about spacing and baiting an approach. If they start getting too...

We'll that's really good to know. I was confused as to why it wasn't working. And about my first question, is it generally a bad approach to ride the bike towards my opponent and turn around trying to hit them with the multi hitbox of the back wheel? I like doing that especially for ledge...

Hi, I'm a Ness main looking to pick up a pocket Wario. I've only been really practicing with him for about two days and it's going well except for a few problems I have with his bike so I have a few questions. 1. What do the hitboxes on his bike look like? For example, sometimes I'll turn...
