Counter Tips

  • Psi magnet absorbs all explosion damage. Don’t spam it, but use it to neuter snake. Be careful and think about the situation carefully. Snake is a very cerebral character, so it’s best to stay focused
  • Instead of shield,Psi Magnet is a way to stop an attack and gain health,use this to your advantage.Watch C4 placement. Snake is a heavy hitter with lots of kill moves,use your speed [Travis:)]
  • One of Ness’ best matchups in smash history, 90% of the time your gonna win. Just make sure to nullify explosive damage with PSI magnet
  • Strongly in ness’s favour. Stay humble and focused and don’t get into a power trip. Pay attention to everything he does and all of his explosives’ positions. Don’t magnet his nakita offstage (pt 1)
  • (pt 2) Watch your landing, as a good snake will cover it with a dash attack or a grab. Ledge guard him and stay safe throughout the whole match. It’s okay to rush him if he tries to wall you out
  • Honestly, I’m a Ness main, and pretty bad, and I still won most of the time. Pretty much half of Snakes moveset is completely negated by Ness’ down b.
  • down b invalides the beep beep missile
  • ness can absorb every projectiles (+side and up-smash and his C4)
