Edgeguarding Tips for Ness vs Pikachu
Pikachu
-Ness' double jump wont autosnap the ledge until the peak of it, this makes edgeguarding Ness a little bit different than other characters.
-Most Ness will try to save their double jump and land onstage with it. The most common way it so double jump and airdodge just below the ledge into the stage, remember to be patient and punish this option.
-If you force Ness to recover with PK Thunder he is going to probably get gimped. You can jolt harass him, baby sit him and then hit him when he is starting to use PKT1, airdodge through and get hit by PKT1, hit PKT2 to halve the distance with a jolt ow with your own body (be prepared to tech!) and in a bold move, you can abuse Pikachu's massive hurtbox when using QA and do it toward PKT1. Be brave and get creative!
-Also remember Ness is hard to hit from above when he is starting to cast PKT1, best way to hit him is to Nair him from one side.
