Paula for Smash pls :<
This just sparked a random question in my head for the Ness boards.

If we were to get another Mother rep, who would you guys want?

I personally would want Flint, just because we need a true hardcore badass in the game. I have a lot of close runner ups, but I just really like Flint :p

I don't frequent any other character board really but it seems like Ness gets a disproportionate amount of whiners in relation to how good of a character he is.

I would root for Ana. We already have representatives for the other two games, so we might as well introduce someone from the original Mother. Plus, she is the only playable character with PK Beam :p

Would make sense. But why Ana over Ninten, unless just for more female representation and Ninten being an alt. for Ness.

i just realised EB360's avatar was paula.
Don't worry. The entire time I've been debating whether it was Paula or Ana.

If Mother were to get another character, I would want Ninten. He is the main protagonist from the first game, and I would imagine some creative things can be done with his support PSI and his 4th D-Slip.

Pretty much every Smash player of my school's video game club think Ness is OP, even though a Rosalina at club has a better win-loss ratio. (He doesn't use Rosalina every time, but I don't use Ness every time either)

Lol, who did you think it was?

It's cuz Ness is a hardcore scrub killa. His favorite drink is salty tears.
Sometimes I really wish Wii U online had a legitimate messaging system. That'd make FG worth playing every now and then.

I don't even want to imagine all the hate messages I would have gotten if a messaging system existed for FG.

I've had people edit their game tags to talk s*** to me before, so I know they'd have sent a message too if they could.

Maybe...a Robin/Chrom thing? Ninten and Loid are Ana's FS. :love:

Btw guys, random question about Ness that I never really thought about. Is our air dodge... above average?

Like, it sounds kinda stilly at first, but the more I play people, the more the attribute their losses to Ness air dodge (well, and bthrow lol). They say that I can act so quickly out of it' and it's hard to hit Ness even if they have the read. And I'm not talking scrubs that are saying this here, I'm talking players like Tantalus, JDawg, GimR, and another really good Bowser friend of mine (who got pretty darn salty over it lol). They all at some point have mentioned how Ness' air dodge is crazy.

I mean admittedly, I've been air dodging a lot because I feel like it's so low risk. But I never thought it to be any better than other air dodges. Are these guys all just delusional or is something actually special here?

I'd be alright with that. Any further idea for that as to what PSI attacks Ninten and Ana would use, while Loid does (blank)?

I...think it might be, but I don't go too far down into all that stuff. But yes, I think it may have some priority over other air dodges. I think it is a bit safer than others too...

It's when I find people like that that I like to either go Rosa, Falco or Toon and either take away that recovery, reflect the spam or spam my own stuff that Ness' can't absorb <3. Also countering PKT2 with Ike is glorious.

Air-dodge frame data for the whole cast so far is here. Ness is tied with 14 other characters for second slowest air-dodge in terms of how quickly he can act out of it (33 frames), but tied with 19 others for the most amount of intangibility frames (25, in his case from frames 3 to 28). Admittedly I haven't watched many of your matches, so I don't know if there are any specific situations in which you're finding air-dodging to be particularly effective. Considering Ness' below-average max air speed and fall speed, it's entirely possible you're just good at timing it, or your opponents are bad at punishing it. :p

Lol thanks for that man. Now I can put this myth that "Mik! only wins cuz air dodge" to rest XD

Also there's this match, where TKBreezy and JDawg literally talked about how good Ness' air dodge was, or how they felt it was (1:35).

This'll take forever... (in actual talk)

I just really hope Ness doesn't get nerfed in some way. :/
He's not more deserving than people like Sheik, Sonic, and (still) Diddy, so I think he's safe-ish for now. He's good, but not stupid good.

But we should keep him on the down low. Downplay him, make him sound like he's not that great, and maybe Nintendo will ignore him ;)

I love how I've trained with wave for like 2 and a half years now but never met him in person. It's like my relationship with BC/Karnu (who I even have added on FB) :D
wifi warriors are scary
