Ness (SSB4)/Up special/Default

Hitbox visualization showing Ness's PK Thunder 2.

Overview

Ness's only recovery move and a decent attack. PK Thunder will disappear if it hits with the head after a short period of time, however if the attack hits with the tail it will be a much weaker hit. If Ness hits himself with PK Thunder, he will be launched in the opposite direction in which he hit himself; PK Thunder 2 is a very strong move dealing a large amount of damage and KOing as early as 30% when sweetspotted. It also grants intangibility for a few frames after Ness is launched.
