Recovering Tips for Ness vs Pikachu

See all Ness vs Pikachu Tips

Ness

Pika has a much better recovery than you and a better edgeguarding. Whatever you do, do not jump out of the stage. Better time your Smash Attacks in the ledge to prevent Pika from a safe recovery

-If Ness jumps out to edgeguard you, remember you have the better recovery, just stay awy of his range and then recover safely.

-Ness will probably pester you with PK Thunder 1, it can be annoying to deal with. You can always try to hit it but good Ness players will try to bait that and hit you with the tail first. Using QA1 rebound ability to destroy PKT1 may be helpful. Also remember to always be prepared to tech if you are near the stage.

-Down Smash's back hit can easily hit Pikachu out of QA at really dumb positions if you don't angle properly. Never angle QA2 straight up as that is really easy to hit, if possible avoid aiming for the ledge in this case.

-Using platforms is crucial, QAC can almost always take you out of a bad spot. Practice your angles!
