So I;m new to Ness and what I dont get is how come his moves have huge priority (like Lucas)?? Is it because he uses PK powers or...??

Yes. It's the PK powers.

They're sparkly.

Cool then. I've been reading up some stuff about Ness and I think I'll start using him as a secondary. :bee::bee::bee:

To tell you the truth I like low tiers lol. In fact, ironically I main the lowest character of the low tiers, Captain Falcon FTW!!!!!!!

He's tourney viable.
He's full of priority and takes his vitamins, too. Because growing boys need a good source of calcium. Anyway, he's a good character. He has some bad match ups, some grab release issues and is low tier. But it's not anything that can't be dealt with. As Man of Popsicle already pointed out, he's tourney viable. The only true problem of his is Marth.

Ness is hardcore, drinking steak out of milk cartons. xD

Ness pretty good for a low tier. He has nice range on almost all of his aerials, he has very high priority tilts (like Uffe said, he takes a lot of vitamins.), and he has decent range on the ground with his Upsmash and Fsmash.

The only problems Ness suffers from are grab releases, recovery issues, and IMO his ground movement.

The chaingrab isnt so bad. If you break out right you should only be taking like 15%
It's the follow ups that hurt the most.

I came from (used to main) a high tier (G&W), and it's just more satisfying to win as Ness. Especially with pkt2's. G&W you can just spam smashes and bairs, the only fun kills are with uair or dair spikes (rare).

Same situation. i pwn with ness and fool around with my enemies by playing as cfalc. I would say they are extremely fun to play as and even more awesome when you can play well with them. although i wish i could go to some tourneys as an attempt to raise them in the tiers, but then again I'm not that good.

I've also been considering secondary-ing Ness. I really enjoy playing low-tier characters as well, and Ness seems like one of the funner, more satisfying characters to rep. I mean, he gets a spike, awesome throws, great sustain damage, AND a totally badass, mind-game inducing, electrically propelled headbutt.

Yes plz.

You forgot that he is also in the midweight class but has above average killing power, and has some of the best air moves in the game
