Good lord, this man has his PKF ATs down. He uses pivot PKFS, PK Jumps, DJC PKF, and even managed to use the ever tricky reverse PK Jump. In addition to that, he aims his PKT2 bounces well, tailwhips like a boss, and even closed out the match with a jab lock.

His tech skill is quite impressive, and he's a pretty good player from the looks of it to back it.
I don't know if it's terminalkai playing since I can't read Japanese and can't tell who's who.

Like on Delfino or Halberd: Hit somebody off, chase them offstage with PKT but miss, and loop in under the stage and into yourself when they try to punish you. I get kills like this a decent amount for what it is.
So uh as I was saying. Granted it wasn't baited out but rather on an airdodge that would've led to me getting Dsmashed through the opposite side blast zone on pretty much any other stage, but can work to. It's just the general idea of people not knowing that PKT can travel up through the stage, since it's pretty situational.

:) YES

And I know this is pretty random, my friend made this small mini video without telling me and posted it in the Norcal Smash 4 FB Page, and it is literally the funniest thing:

He titled it: "Waael the Wrestler"

Description: "Because it was too long to for a .gif"

Shaky's Ness doesn't tend to get recorded, which is a shame because he's one of the Top Ness players in the US. But he went to a tournament over the weekend and some sets got recorded from it. They're pretty fantastic and I suggest that you watch them. I feel like he plays Ness so well. Great uair, dsmash, fthrow, and pk thunder use. It's awesome really.

VS Megafox

And the last kill of the first game against Megafox needs to be in the community video @ Waael Waael

DUDE I REMEMBER SHAKY! I played him back in the Brawl Days, He was one of the few Ness players that went to tournaments. (I didn't go to any back then) He'll remember me as Chrono because that was my brawl tag on Wifi XD And danggggg!

So I attended a crew battle yesterday and I would like someone to look over my two matches and provide constructive criticism please.

My first match starts off at about 7:47 in the following link (http://www.twitch.tv/smashthemoneyteam/c/6322154) and blends over into part 2 (http://www.twitch.tv/smashthemoneyteam/c/6322159). My second match begins at 7:05 in part 2 since let's just say there's several minutes between the end of my first match and the beginning of my second.

Here's some matches from last week, starting at 1:19. I play a set against Villager, and then a set against Diddy/Ganon.

At 0:30 is my set against Bloodcross. Got a gimp to start it off then proceeded to get the sh*t beat out of me.

I need to use a lot more jab, and use dtilt more (at all). As always, criticism appreciated.

I found a video of the most recent Umebura (12) in Japan that happened a while ago, where the top players in Japan usually participate in.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdDsWx3KC-E
Here's Rain playing as Diddy (top Diddy in Japan, has beaten players like Choco and Nietono before) vs Fsann playing as Ness (probably the best Ness in Japan imo).

Here's a link to the full bracket if anyone's interested:
http://smashboards.com/rankings/umebura-12-smash-wii-u-singles-bracket.4388/event
That Game 3 ended up a lot closer than I would've expected, given how long Rain kept Fsann on the back foot at the start. That jab lock technology was real though.

I was on CT!
Even though I got bodied, I was so happy to be on Stream. I'd love feedback.

That's the VERY definition of 20XX I have no words to describe how bad I felt I am by watching this.

Yeah, pretty crazy ****. Definitely some options I'd never really thought of. Back to the lab for me :)

hey guys! I'm in an online tournament on a guitar website I'm part of. This was in the losers semis, and I'm now up for losers finals and after possibly true semis.

in the vid I play as duck hunt and ness. Ness being my main. Any critiques?

also, there are some obvious things (like the ridiculous PKT2 slide to death) that I already know not to do again haha

hope you guys enjoy!

I need help with the Sonic & Kirby MUs lol. Latter I don't know too well tbh, former is like practically impossible.
I also had some PKT2 mishaps when I tried going for the ledge as well lol.

Set 1

Set 2 (Grand Finals)
^I'm so mad over how I choked at the end... I did F-Tilt by accident and that set the stage for me to be KO'd :p

==

On a side note, my friend Kels here is one of, if not THE best Sonic in Canada and has a pretty damn good Kirby and she's always beaten me in Brawl so I'm not surprised she beat me again. Although it was surprising I beat her twice in GFs, guess I somehow learned Kirby (tho I did learn how good Fair can be for walling him). :p

Also sometimes commentary gets loud and silly so lower the volume for your sake. xD
In fact they call my PK Thunder the snail and that's kind of what I'm known for in the community.

Seeing lots of useful information/ videos on this thread. Thank guys. I really want to improve as Ness. Check out these matches and let me know any advice you would give :)

Be careful, at 0:30, you did something extremely risk, if Pit had capitalized that, he could have gimped you with his Down B.

You're using PK thunder onstage at moments you shouldn't be using it and is being punished for it. The only times you should use it onstage is if your opponent is above you so you can juggle him or as an edgeguard tool. If you want to do something risky but with very high reward, you can PK thunder while your opponent is really close to you. He will be hit with the hitbox from the frames when pk thunder doesn't disappear and you can try to PK thunder 2 his face.

I also noticed you're not punishing the other player properly. I saw a lot of opportunities being wasted because you either tried to Fsmash him, dash attacked his shield or rolled away from him.

You're wasting good edgeguard opportunities, examples of that are in 0:08, 0:16 and 2:56.

I didn't saw you using PSI magnet to absorb Pit's arrows. You don't need to be afraid of doing that because you can use Magnet cancel, a Ness' AT that let's you cancel PSI magnet into a Jump, a backwards roll or a spotdodge if you do it right after absorving a projectile.

Ok guys, here are some sets I played from JST past weekend!

Vs J.Miller :4luigi::
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BbLxeWUPyM

Vs Ixis :4sonic::
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4unFSosrxX8

He put me into losers 1-2

Vs Mr.R :4sheik::
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAGaLE1xDSM

I've played alot with him so I understand the matchup, I kind of dropped the ball 1st game, 2nd game didn't feel that solid either, felt like I got more in my groove the 3rd game but oh well.

The crew battle also has some footage of me starting from: https://youtu.be/-VqtO0q0ZEU?t=20m1s
