First of all this is a year overdue and I want to apologize for that. To me though it feels well worth the delay, as the quality of the footage I had for this is far greater than anything I would have had when I first set out to do this.

Things to note:
-No WiFi clips
-No bad rap music
-Ness is God Tier

This is going to be a multi-part series of videos, and the second part could actually come very soon. More importantly though, it's going to cover a theme that I feel is very important in this game...

Q: "The Road to Magicant? Wtf?"

A: Those of you who've played through Earthbound probably recognize Magicant as a bizarre world conjured my Ness' imagination that contained all of Ness' latent psychokinetic abilities. Those of you who haven't are probably still saying "wtf?"

For both of those groups, the Magicant I'm referring to is not the one from Earthbound (though it is similar)... and it's something important for every player I think. Magicant is the place in your mind - the state of mind - where you do not think, you just know.

A lot of playeres are nervous and miss opportunities in this game or make mistakes due to their own misjudgments or lack of confidence. Instead of worrying about those things, just know what you must do - and do it. This is a defensive game, but when the opportunity to go on the offense arises, be relentless; don't let your opponent out of the pressure. Inevitably of course your opponent will escape but don't let that phase you, just wait for your next opportunity.

Don't think -
Ness said:
"Know what you must do".
I have not reached this level of mastery yet, and this is why this only the departure on the road to Magicant.

To end this I want to give a very special thanks to the Ness community that helped with this, and especially those who convinced me to have patience for better footage when I was unsatisfied with my previous attempt.

Pro for using eb remixes I have on ipod.

too bad you play brawl though...
I play all Smash games... Ask HolyNightmare about my Brawl+ Ness, and ask Zen about my new-found Melee Falcon (I used to play Sheik/Jiggs)...

I love 64 but there's no motivation to be good at it so I'm rusty as hell... Ness/Samus :)
