Smash Mods

My brother was playing as Ness against me in some random matchups, and he asked a decent question that I really don't know the answer to.

PK Flash. Is there any particular reason it puts you into freefall? I don't see how letting him keep his jump after that could be THAT MUCH of a buff. I see it as MAYBE a recovery option (and he does kinda need those).

Iunno. Just my crappy opinion.

DK gets to act out of the Punch.
So I have no clue.

bcuz smash.

I don't see why you would ever use it in the air in the except to reposition yourself on the ground while you control the flash (aerial momentum).

I sorta agree. Not saying Ness needs buffs, but considering Zelda can now use Dins fire in the air, and Dk can use the Pawch in mid air, I see no reason as to why Ness should enter freefall after using pk flash in mid-air.

I agree. With as many "Small, sensible decisions" as the team has made, this seems like a no-brainer. It would be an easy change to make and would not make much impact on Ness's gameplay; it would just make sense.

Not that I would care...but I can't imagine it having any real impact at all on Ness's gameplay. There is just as little point in changing it to not force Ness into a freefall as there would be to leave it alone...

iv never seen a ness use it in midair other than short hopping it and charging it in the air a bit

I also agree. I guess it would be considered a "buff," but the change would have little to no effect on how Ness plays or how good he is. If DK players aren't punished for using Giant Punch over the abyss, I see no reason why Ness should be.

I guess it could make pk flash more viable for edge guarding since you could jump off and do it right on the edge and recover. that extra coverage at the edge is already covered with his yo-yo which is also safer so there really sin't any reason to do that.

With that being said I would like this buff (though ness doesn't really need buffs) just so that if i short hop and pk thunder for positioning I would like to recover if I slide of the edge.

You never know, maybe dropzone pkflash would be the new hotness on the streets.
Sounds awesome.

until you realize an uncharged pkflash has little KB.
dropzone bair is where its at.

Well then uncharged pkflash should meteor.
:trollface:

Actually....
Hotdamn that'd be flashy

180 frames of hitstun for PK flash s'il vous plait.

It should, with greater effectiveness upon charging, cause opponent to feel strange, cry, or become numb.
