    Who Is Your Secondary and Why?

    I think Kodystri basically mains Mii Gunner as well as Ness now. He's been doing work on smashladder with it. I'm kinda iffy on training up a Mii as a secondary since it can't be used in For Glory. I don't really have a scene where I am living at the moment :(.

    3v3/4v4 Tourney Ruleset Discussion Thread

    Camping is boring to watch. A ruleset that encourages it wouldn't be beneficial to the smash scene. Would time rather than stock be a possibility to discourage camping? It would definitely allow a tournament to keep to schedule at least.

    Who Is Your Secondary and Why?

    I think I've picked up Kirby as a reliable secondary now. He covers Ness's weaknesses: nice downwards aerial pressure, good smash attacks, harder to edgeguard. I think an underused secondary is probably the best, so as to not switch into a character that your opponent has alot of experience against.

    How to deal with these types of players?

    Projectile spam is really only effective online, as lag makes it more difficult to time powershielding for punishes. Rolling is more easily punishable. You can anticipate their roll and grab or hit where they will end up. Or you can cover multiple options (if they only spot dodge, roll left or...

    Data Spy! - Ness Matchup Directory

    No customs. I don't have enough experience with customs on to give a good opinion on that. I'd assume some matchups would be worse though. :4diddy:-1 (wasn't nerfed enough to be straight even imo) :4sheik:-1 (fast aerials and needles are hard to get past) :4falcon: 0 (a CF that powershields and...

    Is anyone concerned that Ness has an impending nerf coming to him?

    I was surprised about the ROB Up Throw nerf, not needed at all. I agree that Ness's Back Throw will probably not be nerfed. I do also have a feeling Ness might get a small nerf though, but I think it's more likely that underpowered characters will be seeing buffs. It might make sense for...

    Is competitive Smash for 3DS dead?

    The 3DS version is still fine for competition, but everyone prefers Wii U because it looks better, it is easier to spectate, there are more stages to choose from, and you can use other/better controllers on it.

    Better player on Anther's than For Glory?

    You might personally perform better with platforms than without. Some people switch into something like Little Mac for an easy win when counterpicking to Final Destination. In general, I've found that people on Smashladder are more skilled (especially people of high rank) and have better...

    Does Ness have any footstool combos?

    Don't think he does since none of his attacks hit downward fast enough, but footstool is still good to use for gimping. Well, maybe he can do something on stage, but he is probably too floaty to follow up well. Yeah, I just watched that video in the thread you mentioned. All of those combos...

    Q&A Game Play Advice and General Discussion

    Does double stick DI exist in Smash Wii U? I recently got a Wii U, and I'm trying to figure out if it is fine just continuing to use a 3ds XL as my main controller, or if I should switch to a better one.

    Ness Matchup Discussion (PRELIMINARY)

    Yoshi's Dair hurts so much. Try to not get caught in it. The best way to contest Yoshi in the air is probably with Ness's Fair. Fairing alot is a safe tactic in general. Don't get too spammy though, or else he can just send an egg at you. PK Thunder is good, but be careful for Yoshi's Down B...

    How do you make a match as unenjoyable as possible for the other person?

    Sure you can. Just learn from your mistakes, and watch what they do. Or just leave, and find a new person to fight.

    How do you make a match as unenjoyable as possible for the other person?

    Be good and win relentlessly. Or remember this is just a game and stop being so spiteful. You should probably work on improving yourself instead of BMing your opponent.
