Alright, I watched the Pit set. Inspiring play. Definitely picked up some cool dtilt/standing jab resets that I didn't know Ness had. Helps his read game a lot (which I think in general is pretty weak). There are two thing in this matchup I would have liked to see more of from you.
1. Psi Magnet. If you know that magnet absorbs him and Pit can't really do that much from a distance that punishes you, just use it. It'll put him on tilt, piss him off, and make him rely on the arrows less.
2. The swinging DJC bair. I noticed you did a lot of instant DJC, and DJC out of magnet, but I think one of the most powerful aspects of DJC comes from the "swinging" aspect you get from jumping away from an opponent and then at your apex jumping towards with a Bair (maybe try with other aerials as well). This sort of swinging motion is hard for opponents to punish and it can land some bairs as kill moves that you wouldn't expect. I think you didn't exploit the full range of the DJC and you should try it out in practice.
Other than that, like I said––inspiring play. My only question for you, do you think nair has applicability in this matchup? Is it worth going for sometimes, and if so, why didn't you?

Your Ness is dope, fresh, whatever you want to call it; it's awesome! Honestely your matches were really good. I need serious work on spacing with Ness, and watching you gave me a few really good ideas.
I small suggestion from the journeyman Ness player: you might want to use PK Flash to finish those back throws that don't kill. When you didn't do it against Wario I thought it might have been since Wario has so much air maneuverability, but when I saw you didn't do it against Bowser I figured I would make that my critique of the night. Great matches! You make my Ness look so dumpy...
I have a lot of 2.6 Ness videos, I'll post two for now, and if you guys want more, I'll post them:
Oksas (Falcon) vs Calabrel (Ness)
Oksas (Wolf) vs Calabrel (Ness)
Bonus: 0-death combo on Peach

Leaving this here for critique. I have a long way to go in the world.
Enjoy.
I played a guy recently who gave me a really tough time. The power shield buff did break my habit of casually approaching with f-air from time to time, and I'm trying to iron out some habits that are stuck on me. I did learn how to fully utilize his magnet not too long ago, but I'm trying to find some stylish use for it. It's been overall helping my momentum shifting game a ton. I really need to get wavebouncing/b-sticking down for momentous usages. You'll never really know how applicable it'll be until the time comes, so I wanna have this stuff down on pat.The segment at 3:22 is fresh as ****!
EDIT:
It's hard to give advice during a combo vid (cause im not analyzing your general play) but you should definitely play magnet DJC attacks. They are pretty good and open up Ness's aerial combo game (alhtough your doing well with utilizing Ness's ground game, which is saying something).

What's your Skype? We'd love to have you in our groupHey guys! After the Big House, I decided I want to take P:M more seriously and try to get good. I've got some vids of my Ness and I'm looking for advice. Advice and criticism would be appreciated.

I didn't even know Magnet had a hitbox until the day of the tourney (hadn't played P:M since May). That's why I never use it in those vids.
back airs and air thrown pk fires are good against space animalshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGSTv35TywU&list=PLLBfn_Mp9t5iR8bn7EDVRrbX2N2WyECjL
