Ness' Smash Attacts

[TheEnderFriend]

does anyone have good uses for Ness' smashes? I know that the bat reflects projectiles, and I use USmash to edge guard people jumping back from the ledge, but those are the only real uses I can see for them.

Oh yeah, DSmash knocks people horizontally, so there's that.

Usmash is the fastest OoS option Ness has. It hits on both sides of him rather quickly (I think it was like 5 frames in the back, 9 in the front). It also punishes edge regrabs and is good at catching people landing. It's laggy as hell if you miss, weak knockback, and makes for a terrible anti-air (do NOT try it).

Dsmash is a good roll punish and a decent KO move. Sometimes its sourspot screws you over though, and it's just as punishable if whiffed.

Fsmash is strong and reflects projectiles. That's pretty much it. I don't like it much.

Usmash is 6 but it's still by far the fastest. After shieldgrab, the next fastest offensive OoS is Nair which is about 11 frames.
Fsmash is excellent at punishing terrible ledgegrab attempts, but so is PK Flash. Also Dsmash's animation ends faster than Usmash.
