Vs. Shulk

[Link24a]

I honestly think this is an even matchup, maybe in Shulk's favor slightly.

Shulk's range is really an advantage over Ness, and despite his lag, Ness has issues punishing due to his poor range. (yeah he can punish a shielded fsmash at full range with pk fire but that's mainly it)

Shulk's counter can also be an issue because a lot of Ness's combos are often just outside the range of being true combos, so in a fair string shulk can pull a counter out in the middle and hit Ness.

Any other thoughts on this?

I'd get stomped by a high level Shulk, I'm sure. I fought one in a few matches who I would say was around my level. You kind of have to bait out his aerials and go in afterwards. If Shulk uses his f-smash and you perfect shield it, using PKF is pretty much unnecessary. His counter is kind of odd. Depending on which attacks you use will determine whether or not you'll get hit. If you use nair and you're rising and Shulk counters it, you'll dodge him. I wish I still had my replays. I would've been able to say more about him.
