Magnet doesn't gimp nearly as well as it did in 5.0. Even against spacies thanks to snap distance. Although it is cool to tank Wolf's ******* SideB and then have the magnet toss him off stage. Even so, magnet is better than vbrawl magnet. While it does not absorb projectiles during the SA frames, it still comes out a few frames faster than vbrawl magnet anyway. When being edge guarded, this thing has saved me several times, since my opponent can no longer edge guard me after the magnet pushes them away. I'd probably see it gimp more if I actually played people who used characters with lousy recovery.
My main gripe with it, aside from accidentally tanking projectiles instead of absorbing them, is that the refreshable super armor it had is apparently gone. It does not seem to work at all on any multi hit attack.
I'm used to using it to escape from combos since Ness' nuetral air likes to trade hits with a lot of crap. Something he shouldn't be doing too often.
In any case, I've had more luck with this move than with PK Fire, which is a shattered shell of anything remotely useful. It does about 8%-10% dmg since its so easy to escape from for just about any character, provides no followups when this happens either. It's like a worse version of Wolf's blaster. All I use it for is for stopping some ground approaches.
