PK Smashing! (Ness guide)

PK Smashing! (Ness guide)

This isn't ForGloryboards. And even though I don't use Ness that much, most of these "techs" would never work if the opponent knows how to use the shield button and the circle pad properly.
Sorry, but none of these will work in competitive settings.
You also hardly mention his amazing aerial game.
I'm not trying to be rude or anything..., but this Ness guide isn't very useful at all.

First off, Ness is a very aerial heavy character and you have 2 of his aerials and whatever side aerial is. There are 5, and most of Ness's aerials are amazing! Nair is one of the most important aerials and you don't even include it.. Also his dair should pretty much never be used.

Second, none of Ness's smashes are really reliable for killing. You also don't even mention Ness's back throw, which is his main kill option. Most of Ness's kill options come from edgeguarding, back throw, and aerial kills. Very rarely do you kill with a forward smash.

Finally, none of these "advance techniques" are not viable for tournament play. None of these would work on anyone decent at the game, maybe if you went on for glory and plays against someone who plays the game for fun... Using Pk fire more than once is VERY situational, and it's pretty easy to get out of if not used in the right situation.

Also, none of this review is to bash you or hurt you for making a bad guide, I just want to help you learn how to play Ness at more of a tournament level, and not spread bad information to new Ness mains who are going through Smashboards trying to find information about their new main. Remember, I'm not trying to hurt your feelings, i'm trying to help you learn more about the amazing character who is Ness!

I totally understand, no hard feelings!
This was really helpful and I improved from it.
I really don't like this guide.

-Doesn't actually apply to all games, just SSB4
-Only covers Smash Attacks, Specials and Techniques (Not Really Techniques)
-Ness has a good aerial game. I'm not sure why you didn't put that there, or his ground attacks....

Quite disappointing.
