Social The Suburbs of Onett - Ness Social Thread

[ROBnWatch]

Lol, I'm part of the social R.O.B. thread and the Q&A. We get some pretty good discussions there.

Anyways, much as I love him, why are we talking about R.O.B. in the Ness boards? Let's get back on topic! I plan to get my Ness Amiibo this weekend, yay me!!!

 

[MintyBreeze]

Oooooh... Greninja plays very oddly, but that's fitting for a ninja. I'd imagine that the players that main him are very analytical in their MUs because of that.

Didn't mean to turn the discussion toward R.O.B, sorry. e-e

So does this mean that the Ness mains are all adventurous, courageous, optimistic smashers? I think that's really sweet. <3

 

[Noa.]

Honestly the fact that @Earthbound360 was calling us weak willed inspired me to not bend over as easily. Usually i wouldn't be so adamant about the Greninja matchup. But meh.

e-e Interesting conclusion... I'm curious about something... Do you think there'll be an initial clash of players who choose to leave Ness in favor of Lucas?

If so, I'd rather stay out of it. If you prefer Lucas, go ahead and main Lucas. I'll stick with Ness.

 

[MintyBreeze]

If I had to guess, a few people would just be happy and switch between them according to the situation. Hopefully, though, nothing hateful comes out of it.

I main R.O.B., Mr. G&W, Greninja, Villager, and Ness. What does that make me?

 

[MintyBreeze]

Well, if you also happened to main G&W, all of the other characters would make sense, according to one of the plot points in the Subspace Emissary.

??? Which one?

 

[ilysm]

Oh, God, the Subspace Emissary implied so many messed-up things about G&W.

Remember all of those shadowy enemies that you fought? Like, Dark Peach, Dark Zelda, all of the little black particles that sort of looked like cotton balls?

So, basically, I don't have a good or evil side? Because Tabuu used G&W as the base for the Subspace Army for that reason...

 

[MintyBreeze]

Nope, you're neutral. Which is probably a good thing.

 

[ROBnWatch]

Ha ha! That's funny, I'm part Swiss, and Switzerland is famous for being neutral.

Funny how everything works out like that. But seriously, I'm getting my Ness Amiibo this weekend. Let's keep the conversation on Ness this time.

 

[MintyBreeze]

Bah, I'm sorry! Keep on forgetting this is a Ness thread...

 

[Luco]

I wouldn't worry, it is a social after all.

In regards to Lucas, I see little tension. Ness and Lucas have always been the PSI Bros. in my book, if anything I feel like we've gained an ally. Besides, the MU we'll all probably complain about the least is our MU with each other (which probably won't be any worse than a 1 or -1 either way), and then we can all get to helping each other out. <3

Same here. Back in Brawl they had some differences, which set them apart a bit, but nothing too drastic. Since I never cared much about Mother/EarthBound at the time, when I first realized they were semi-clones, I thought "They're cousins and/or siblings!" We definitely got a good friend back with Lucas joining Ness as the two Mother/EarthBound representatives.

 

[Lochy]

I haven't realy been active here or smash in generel, so is there anything big/important i missed? (except Lucas getting released)

Hey Tikao it has been awhile. Glad to see you pop in again.

 

[MintyBreeze]

Part of me wonders if there'll be a good 2 v 2 dynamic with them. Surely Nintendo would make it so that pairing them is at least a decent choice? It seems too fitting to me.

 

[Luco]

Lucas and Ness have always been godlike doubles partners, but funnily enough they tend to do better with other characters because they don't heal fast enough off each other as opposed to ZSS or Fox or someone similar. They're not bad partners, but my brother and I never truly got them to work in Brawl. Maybe smash 4 will be different though!

Well they would be able to heal each other which is good. I'm not sure how they will help each other that much. But seeing them together in doubles would be fun nontheless

Obvious team is obvious. Dang it, Nintendo! Keep some surprises for us later!

Perhaps. If I'm to be honest, I don't think I could really get into doubles that much. Just the idea of being able to hit a friendly teammate scares me in any game, let alone one like Smash Bros, and I think it could get more unfair than in 1 v 1. Potentially. What is Ness's role in 2 v 2?

 

[ROBnWatch]

In a 2 v 2, I would think Ness is the projectile-aerial guy. The other character he is playing with should be more of a close-combat character with decent air game but a bit better on the ground.

Ahh, you just have to not worry about hitting your partner or even killing them sometimes (it happens, trust me we've all made hideous hideous mistakes indeed! ) and you'll be fine.

Ness tends to take the role of a stock tank, being able to go in and take damage without caring so much because as soon as he separates the opposing team or gets them off-stage, he and his partner can heal. You should see some old sets of Shaky teaming with NickRiddle, and watch them get like 60% heals in a few seconds. They're a genius team and really showcase what Ness can do in doubles.

Lucas takes the same role, and the person to look up for Lucas is Mekos and his various doubles partners. I think he's teamed with M2K, NickRiddle (when Shaky wasn't around), DEHF and more. I'm pretty sure he's teamed with a Dedede who used waddle doos to heal him. :D

Besides that initial jump that makes you actually work with your teammate... 2v2 does sound fairly fun! Just that I've had bad experiences online in FG, though For Fun is, well, fun.

Oh, right, right, his PSI Magnet must be an absolute beast in this mode, I'm guessing? Especially if you have a blaster like Fox, they can just heal Ness so quickly, I'd bet... That's actually very awesome! Using team attack to actually heal your teammates. I'd imagine Ness is a good pick in doubles, then.

Dedede as a partner, huh? Something tells me he'd act as a meat shield. e-e How do you guys feel about Ness against heavyweights like Bowser and Dedede?

 

[MintyBreeze]

Something on your profile tells me you'd be especially happy to see that.

Yep! The team attack mechanic means Ness and Lucas can heal from each other at will. It also makes them godlike doubles partners with a large section of the cast. Themselves, ZSS, ROB, Lucario, Mewtwo, Charizar, Bowser, Fox, Megaman, Zelda, the list goes on and on...

 

[MintyBreeze]

Ooooooooooh, I never even thought about coupling one of them with R.O.B! Good idea.

A Ness and R.O.B. team was my first thought, wonder why... -__-

 

[MintyBreeze]

So, about the next batch of MUs for Ness, which one seems to be the most difficult? I'm not sure.

 

[Luco]

I'd say Megaman and possibly Pacman, but I'm not sure. Megaman seems to me the only one there that might be a legit -1, however new information came to me recently saying that if Pacman puts down a trampoline half on and half off the ledge then we HAVE to bounce on it no matter what, like we apparently can't escape it at all, meaning he can get some nasty followups, and if the trampoline is red when we bounce on it then we fall to our deaths. Considering that and the fact that Pacman has a really means onstage game, I'm not surprised at all if the MU ends up being even or, if his on-stage game is scary enough, in his favour slightly.

Megaman is the usual. Mixes up his projectiles so we can't absorb, zones us out really well, is heavy as heck, etc.

 

[MintyBreeze]

Those all seem like fair choices... Although, there could be a few annoying ones in there, like Pit, Wario, maybe even the Brawler.

 

[ROBnWatch]

Mii Brawler is the best of the Mii Fighters. Then the Gunner, and Swordfighter in last. Wario, I think, would be the easiest of the bunch you guys mentioned. Pac-man is decent, but beatable. Mega Man, ya, we're gonna have a tough time. But we've got plenty of options when he goes for the Forward Smash. Absorb or return to sender (Home Run style). Pit, after a while just gets easy, in my experience.

 

[Lochy]

Lol. Yup pretty much. Also my iphone lock screen and home screen think the same too.

Olimar is also hard

Thank you! I'm not the only one who has trouble against him when I'm Ness!
