so I can't thank u guys enough For all the tips U've helped me with. I've posted on /r/Smashbros for help before, and sure they do help, but really not much. My friend used to beat me all the time, and now we're of equal skill. And therein lies the problem is.

Since we're of equal skill, our matches usually drag on to decently high percents (around 120%-145%). And he ALWAYS BEATS ME in this. The past 5 matches we had ended pretty much like this. I play Greninja and he plays Ness. Can anyone help? He usually either Back Throws me (ugh), so I start spamming spot dodge a lot, I get stage control, but he randomly starts using up airs, And that also kills me. I've tried UThrow, but it doesn't start killing until around 170%, and we usually don't get that high becuz we're both playing so defensively that damage rarely gets taken. It's just try to kill or try to punish.
