Ness (SSB)/Neutral aerial: Difference between revisions

Ness does a quick split kick with his feet in front of him in the air, dealing 14% during its first eight frames with average knockback for a neutral aerial and very high shield stun. This move is a [[sex kick]], dealing less damage over time with the move dealing 11% with lower knockback for the rest of its animation. Like most of Ness's [[aerial]]s, this move is excellent for [[juggling]] purposes, though a bit less so than his other aerials (though more than {{mvsub|Ness|SSB|back aerial}}) due to its horizontal launch angle. Combined with the [[double jump cancel]] technique, which is very important to Ness's [[metagame]] and vital in most of his matchups, it is possible for Ness to do even shorter [[short hop]]s, allowing him to use the move a very short distance from the ground, making it possible to chain multiple hits of this move together. Ness can also potentially perform [[zero-to-death combo]]s on opponents, as he can rack up huge damage with his neutral aerial in conjunction with his other aerials (especially {{mvsub|Ness|SSB|forward aerial}} into a {{mvsub|Ness|SSB|down aerial}} [[spike]] but his other aerials are considered to be much more useful for this. This move in short is more commonly used at low percents, as the hitstun is high enough combo but the knockback isn't too high to follow up or at mid percents (around 30-50 depending on character) to lead immediately into a down aerial.

Even though it is one of Ness's slower aerials, it still has [[shield break]] potential due to its high amount of shield stun, though it is noticeably harder than down, forward, or up aerial due to its awkward hitbox combined with its poor [[auto-cancel]] window; forcing Ness to [[Z-cancel]] it, especially when used out of a DJC.
