Gackt (がくと) is a Japanese smasher who mains Ness in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He is considered to be the best Ness player in the world, having taken sets from players such as MkLeo, Sonix, Glutonny, Riddles, Shuton, Tea, Zomba, and ProtoBanham. Gackt is currently ranked 27th on the LumiRank 2023; he was also ranked 7th on the old Experimental Smash Player Rankings. He has been active in Smash since 2005.[1]

Gackt was also among the best Ness players in the world in SSB4. He has taken sets over players such as komorikiri, Abadango, ANTi, Mistake, Tsu, Kameme, Nietono, and Locus.

Playstyle[edit]

Gackt relies on both PK Thunder and PK Fire to create mindgames and devastating ledgetraps, allowing him to apply constant pressure and close out stocks quickly. He often uses aggressive aerials alongside PSI Magnet and down tilt to get in and break his opponent's defense. His breakout tournament was at The Big House 7 where he earned 17th place and defeated top players tamim, Locus, and ANTi. Since then, Gackt has done very well at various tournaments both in Japan and internationally.
