Been on The Ness boards for 3 years. Now im posting Videos!

Hey guys! I used to play ness in melee and I got really good, and after experimenting with characters in Brawl, I finally ended up back at my roots with Ness. I went to my second brawl tourney last weekend and I got some replays. I ended up placing 5th/21 there and there were some good people there. Here are some of my videos. You guys can look at them, comment, criticize, etc.
p.s. You might notice I play a defensive ness. I'm deathly scared of the MK and Marth range.

1:31 of MK vid:

OMG H4X

Needs more taunt.
Thanks for the vids. Videos are always a plus.

I like how you're ballsy against the MK. I didn't like your naive aerial chases, though. Against Marth, you want to wait until he commits before doing something in the air - he's supposed to be weak in that position, but if he knows you come after him, he gains dair, fair, and of course fastfall air dodge.

Against MK, I just thought there were a couple fairs that could have been uairs. I think as a collective we should try to find when something else can stand in for fair, because we want that power and knockback to be full for its most important jobs, like recovery and ledge wake up.

*thumbsup*

Nice kills on the first match. Looks like Marth didn't bother using his Pedo Grip on you. Also, Regarding to what PK-ow! mentioned about MK not getting knocked back when you baired him, I hate phantom hits. Good matches anyway.

 

[The_NZA]

Thanks guys! I definately agree about subbing in uair instead of fair sometimes. I think there was a time when I could have killed marth when I faired instead. Also...wierd how Marth scraped his up b and had to do it again.

 

[FireKirby7]

Are you trying to momentum cancel with uair? Dont do that, IIRC, it's worse than airdodging. You would've survived at 1:34.
Use nair. A lot.

I dair against dsmash happy MKs.

 

[The_NZA]

Yeah that was an accident. I haven't quite gotten used to hitting nair but im getting there. I sometimes do fair to momentum cancel but nair is definitely the best.

 

[PKNintendo]

Ness vs Marth match was excellently played. Well done.
Eh, all I can say is less PKF, especially against Marth. It's note safe.

 

[thesage]

Tell banks that he's not playing melee Marth lol.

Pkt juggle more. D-throw is bad against smart people. F-throw and u-throw are better (they also set up for pkt juggle).

Try out the up-smash.

 

[The_NZA]

I find against marth I get punished for usmash. Also, lol, he does play melee marth. He mk'd me for the next 2 rounds, and I won the last one by a small amount.

 

[thesage]

I know banks plays melee, he was a pretty well known player lol.

You always get punished for u-smash if you don't hit with hit.

 

[Mr. Escalator]

That wasn't a phantom hit at 1:31 of the second video, MK was just still invincible :/
Use PKT more when he's above you. Also listen to thesage.

 

[Banks]

how does i barlw? =(

edit - btw that metaknight is me, not boxman he labelled it wrong. I'm not good at this game yet *argh*

 

[thesage]

Barlwing is easy with mk. Hit them with a move once with MK and then jump away for the rest of the match. It works, but everybody will HATE you and force you to pick up Ness.

 

[Banks]

lol i don't want to use MK anyway

 

[Dekar173]

Alright Banks since that MK was you, all I can say is play more aggressively against Ness. You can really pressure the crap out of Ness. Also, floating above a Ness who's PKT1ing to recover, you can just float above him and dair and kill the thunder (or just hit Ness out of range of the edge =P)

Ness, more PK jump!!! :D

 

[thesage]

lol i don't want to use MK anyway

Thank the lord.

 

[The_NZA]

pk jumping vs metaknight doesn't seem that good. He is so freakin evasive he'll just punish the ish out of you.

 

[Banks]

hrmm well see that's my problem, I really hadn't played brawl much as I still play melee competitively, and I was actually told to stop playing so aggressively and meleeish by people because I kept getting punished seeing as brawl is a bit more defensive. But actually that advice probably doesn't apply completely to metaknight so I see what you mean LOL...

anyhow, I'm going to massachusetts to play with a bunch of people in melee and brawl at the end of this month, and I'll probly be a lot better afterwards. I just need some practice at it, i was stubborn and didn't play it for a long time =p

 

[PMKNG]

Yea there isnt that much you can do except just get used to brawl after playing melee, and the same goes for when reverting back. It's two different play styles to get used to so just give it time.

 

[_clinton]

The fun thing about PK Thunder is the simple fact that the move is a god sent in this game when people are playing way too defensive vs. you...you know...staying just out of reach of your other attacks so that they can punish you like *****es

The move screws with the mind set of Brawl is what I'm saying...
