Ness (SSB)/Dash attack

Overview

Ness's dash attack in Super Smash Bros. involves Ness extending his hands forward, similar to his forward air, though with extended range and a long-lasting hitbox. The animation is similar to that found with Ness in the other Smash games, though this one does not have the PSI electricity in front, making the hitbox relatively smaller (though bigger than Melee's.) The move has moderate range with solid, almost unexpected knockback. It is semi-useful at edgeguarding, especially when the opponent is not good at Ledge DI and vs. floaties such as Jigglypuff and Samus. The move however has high ending lag and not much shield stun, making out of shield punishes quite easy.
