Ness
B TierNess excels in controlling space and punishing opponents with his unique blend of projectiles and strong edge-guarding tools. His PK Fire is particularly effective for catching opponents hanging on the ledge, while his PK Thunder can be used to thwart recovering foes and even secure early KOs. However, Ness struggles against fast sword users and characters with strong physical projectiles, as they can easily exploit his limited mobility. To maximize his potential, practice recovering with Ness, using his PK Thunder strategically and mixing up your approach to keep opponents guessing.

Tips for Ness
- if you press side b enough maybe you can get mother 3 to the west
- Ness' PSI Magnet (down-b) can absorb all projectile explosions, including ALL of Snake's projectiles.
- When your opponent is recovering, it’s a good idea to stand at the ledge, face away, and down smash so that the yo-yo can hang over the ledge. Makes it harder for most characters to grab the ledge.
- Ness is a very good character in this game. He heavily counters Pikachu, a strong top tier, as well as snake. Ness gets countered by speed sword users and physical projectiles.
- Make sure to practice recovering with Ness as he can be tricky to recover with. Recovering low always seems to be the better option in most cases as well.
