    Ness Question and Answer Thread, Ask Ness questions Here!

    i actually use diddy as one of my secondaries, and i'm pretty comfortable playing with bananas, but if you're playing an experienced diddy, its probably best to just throw those bananas off the stage. you're best bet is to shield the thrown bananas and jump up and z grab them as they bounce off...

    Ness Question and Answer Thread, Ask Ness questions Here!

    I'm very confident with my PKT2. However I really only use it when I need to. If I can recover without it, I will. I also try to avoid recovering with it from below, it's way too predictable and can cost you a stock. I also like to mix it up and aim my PKT2 diagonally downwards when returning to...

    Ness Question and Answer Thread, Ask Ness questions Here!

    I'm not sure I'm understanding the scenario... But I just checked the frame data thread and nair and bair both are IASA at 36 frames, so they are equally good for momentum canceling. However, in terms of DI, the best DI when being knocked back horizontally is in the upward direction. When you're...

    If I recall correctly, Ness' Psi Magnet will actually give him a small boost of sideward momentum when being knocked back. The best way to cancel your momentum when being knocked back would be to do your fastest ending aerial, in this case it would be Ness' nair, and use your double jump toward...

    yes i would do this. keep your finger on your shield button and predict the lasers, you can also substitute shield with psi magnet, just make sure you lag cancel it. also predict the phantasm, nair will beat it

    Ness Question and Answer Thread, Ask Ness questions Here!

    i would probably take falco to lylat; this may be a double edged sword because the tilting platform may be difficult for both players to recover. and probably take snake to jungle japes; once you get snake in the water, he should have a difficult time getting back on stage because of his weak...

    [Nesu] It's so deserted here I could find Criminal Caterpillars. (Post here if you're cool)

    Charge usmashes are the business. Dsmash I rarely use because I feel like it's easily punishable.

    That's interesting bc Ness' aerial mobility seems to be among the best in the game (in my opinion). I don't know how you play, but if you're not comfortable with your aerial movements, you should work on your short hops and fast falling. Playing as Ness, it's almost a must to be proficient in...

    Ness vs. Meta Knight: Matchup Discussion

    mix up your ledge options. you can tap your joystick toward the stage to just get up regularly; press the jump button to jump upwards; press the shield button to roll back onto the stage; tap your joystick away from the stage to let go and then double jump with an air dodge/fair. those are the...

    Ness vs. Diddy

    shield any thrown bananas and short hop to catch them as they bounce off your shield, either with an aerial, air dodge, or z grab. its a common diddy trick that can be used against diddy by any other character. also, if you ever get diddy off stage (fthrow/ftilt is your friend) you can pretty...
