Vs Ness

[JiangWei23]

Any tips against the PSI youth? Every step of the way I get outpowered, Ness' Fair and Bair being lethal and out-prioritizing any air move Sonic tries, plus it's hard for me to approach on the ground since I run smack-dab into a PK Fire.

The only reliable way I have of killing him is VERY cheaply gimping his recovery, namely dropping a spring on his head when he's trying to PK Thunder.

Quite frustrated at this point. Am I doing something wrong, or is Sonic just not a good matchup against Ness?

Well, the Les Enfants Psychic seem to be very good against Sonic, Lucas more so - from my general observation at least. If you can't beat them the way you're trying, see if you can mindrape them until they start making mistakes, and then combo the living hell out of them. SH can help approach, at least from my experience with Sonic. Hmm, apart from these tidbits of relatively weak advice, learn to use his Down Taunt. It. Is. Godly. Also, there's no such thing as cheap in Brawl >.>

I know that his side-b has some kind of invincibility against projectiles, but I'm not sure if it works on PK fire.
