In practice, Ness and Lucas's PK Fire actually has VERY short range. Usually its 1/3rd of a battlefield stage. And it is very telegraphed since there is like hakf second of startup and a voice line.

For the down smash on the ledge I would recommend rolling to get your back facing the ledge quickly, it’s worked for me really well so far :)

@@Crit_Phil I couldn't think of much for ness so I threw that in there. At a less competitive level I find that ness is harder to use. Lucas has loads of gimmicks and cheese that are hard to avoid without experience and also Ness' recovery isn't as great as lucas' one cause he doesn't have a tether and it's shorter so you need to be more careful offstage

Alternatively, Ness: offensive requires skill if you don’t just resort to pk fire chains.

[@andersonlarios7257]

You definitely undersold Ness’s back air

[@justafloodofethanol3216]

This is honestly just a “bought a Nintendo switch yesterday” kinda guide, seeing as the game was very new at the time this was made. He missed a lot of things, like the second pk thunder if he hits the side of the stage, the fact that up smash can be charged for a second to deal much more damage and KB, the properties of off-stage stalling with pk flash, how early his f-tilt kills, etc. As I said, extremely basic guide.

[@geausty]

There are some important PK thunder edge guarding tricks you forgot to mention. If you hit an opponent with the tail of a PK thunder it stops them in place, and it won't bring them out of helpless. It's really good for gimping double jumps and recoveries. Also, the head of the PK thunder always knocks the opponent in the direction it came from. You can stage spike an opponent by hitting them with a PK thunder that's between them and the stage.

[@florba412]

I wanted to pick up ness so i searched for a guide and your channel popped up, really good guide. you got a new sub and btw I would like a villager guide

[@Choctopus]

Thanks! Glad you found it helpful. I have another guide dropping tonight at 7pm ET. Guides are every Friday.

[@cleberva]

In case anyone is wondering you use ness down-smash to ledge-guard because it launches at a lower angle than up-smash.

For the pk fire, down throw to fair, you can get three fairs which can kill at medium - high percentages. Granted, you need to recover using pk thunder, but it’s doable

wow thank you this really helped me, got smash yesterday grounded hard got all 72 players and i can only play ness and this really helped

[@rayzhang2048]

I am a ness main and you got most of it down. The thing I want to talk about is dash attack. Is is not safe on shield if you are up close and personal with it. Unless they are trying to land, try not to get all 3 hits in. If you use dash attack on shield up close, the you would get punished. The last hit of dash attack is disjointed, which makes it a good pressure and bait. Dash attack also combos into forward air, at low to medium percents but is it is not true and your opponent can air dodge or jump it, which can set up for reads.

[@connorj3018]

[@Sayah42]

You can do ness forward air 4 or 5 times after a d throw on stage

[@yahirguerra4970]

6 max if you're confident in your Recovery.

[@jimmyf7455]

One thing is that down throw->forward air can combo into another forward air if you jump. Also, with some characters and depending on di (I think?) you can do Pk fire > down throw > forward air > (jump) forward air > pk fire You can’t consistently follow up on the last pk fire but if your opponent messes up you might be able to pk thunder

[@Larcinax]

I am a simple man. I see Ness, I click.

[@marsybarz]

small tip. if your under a platform and an opponent is under a platform, just quickly tap use pk flash move and you should deal some damage
