Ness (SSBU): Difference between revisions

Ness is also vulnerable to [[juggling]] given his floatiness and lack of reliable landing options, as well as the removal of multiple [[air dodge]]s. As such, characters with powerful and disjointed aerials, such as {{SSBU|Palutena}} and {{SSBU|Ike}}, can give Ness a difficult time landing. However, Ness' most glaring weakness remains his [[recovery]]. Despite traveling a good distance, PK Thunder 2 is quite exploitable: if the attack makes contact with an opponent or projectile mid-flight, its distance will be halved, often resulting in a gimp. Furthermore, opponents with good timing can hit Ness with a powerful attack or fall into PK Thunder 1 before he can launch himself, causing the projectile to instantly disappear and sending Ness into immediate [[helpless]]ness. It can also disappear upon contact with opponents or terrain, allowing characters with excellent recoveries (such as {{SSBU|Mr. Game & Watch}}) to merely jump into the projectile and receive minor knockback and damage, immediately sending Ness into a state of helplessness, though this is a risky strategy. Because of its enormous knockback, PK Thunder 2 is also susceptible to several [[counterattack|counters]], and opponents who time their counter correctly will almost typically kill Ness. In addition, PK Thunder 2 has significant ending lag, and if Ness recovers directly onto the stage after using it, opponents can easily capitalize on this ending lag by landing a powerful hit on Ness that he cannot hope to counter. Conversely, opponents who mistime an edgeguard against Ness will often die for it. As a result, characters with multiple [[jump]]s, such as {{SSBU|Jigglypuff}}, {{SSBU|Kirby}} and {{SSBU|Meta Knight}}, with counters, such as most of the Fire Emblem cast, or with moves that [[reflection|reflect]] or [[absorption|absorb]], such as {{SSBU|Rosalina}}, {{SSBU|Villager}}, and {{SSBU|Pit}}, can force Ness into disadvantage when offstage.
