Ness (SSB4)/Forward throw

Hitbox visualization showing Ness's forward throw.

Overview

This article or section may require competitive expertise. You can discuss this issue on the talk page or edit this page to improve it.

Ness telekinetically swings the opponent in a circle in front of himself, then launches them forward. Its very high base knockback makes it excellent at setting up edgeguards however, it also has extremely low knockback scaling, making it incapable of KOing at realistic percents, unless it is used near the horizontal blastzone.
