Follow-ups to Ness' grabs?

Only thing I've realized is:
Down Throw -> Full/Double Jump Aerial
Down Throw -> DJ PK Fire (Heavy)

Has anyone used anything else, excluding PKT Juggles?

I've gotten Dthrow to immediate PK fire from bad/no DI ..

I've been studying the stun on Ness's down throw. It's possible for the opponent to air dodge your follow up attack, but if you use Fair, you'll most likely land a hit no matter what. Even if it is just a small one.

PK Thunder doesn't work because they can attack it as it's coming out.

Wouldn't backthrow at low percents be a nice setup for back airs and fakeouts?

it would have to be REALLY low, like single percents to work effectively that way

ive played a professional sonic and he was really good at this. nair would miss when he did but fair usually connected with 2-3 hits, opening him up for another. if they use this little tactic, stick to fair

short hop Fair to Dthrow to another short hop or full hop Uair works every time.

I've been playing Ness as my second Alt and found up throw -> PK Thunder is ok at low-mid percents, and Up throw - PK Flash can sometimes hit (mainly against bad DI, but I wouldn't really recommend this one).

for heavy characters at low damage up tilt to grab works

People can airdodge out of Ness' dthrow, but that's where mindgames come in. I always anticiptate this dodge and usmash or use an aerial late.

 

[memphischains]

if you b-stick, then down throw to biar works well at low percentages

* for those who don't understand, while running, if you hit the c-tick in the opposite way your traveling (on the ground), then you will short hop facing the opposite direction you were running. I find this easier to actually SH pivot.
