Gackt (がくと) is a Japanese smasher who mains Ness in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He is considered to be the best Ness player of all-time, and is the highest-placing Ness player in majors, placing 3rd at Kagaribi 7, Maesuma TOP 12, and S Factor 11. Gackt is currently ranked 23rd on the LumiRank 2024.1; he was also ranked 7th on the old Experimental Smash Player Rankings. He has been active in Smash since 2005.[1]
In addition to Ultimate, Gackt was also one of the best Ness players in the world in Super Smash Bros. 4, becoming infamous for his PK Thunder 2 reads. His breakout tournament was at The Big House 7, where he placed 17th place and defeated players such as Mistake, Locus, and ANTi. Outside of those wins, he has also defeated players such as Abadango at Rikabura 8 and Tsu at Umebura 28.
PlaystyleEdit
Gackt relies on both PK Thunder and PK Fire to create mindgames and devastating ledgetraps, allowing him to apply constant pressure and close out stocks quickly. He often uses aggressive aerials alongside PSI Magnet and Ness's down tilt to get in and break his opponent's defense.
