Ness vs Snake
To play Ness against Snake, leverage your Psi Magnet to absorb Snake's explosive projectiles, effectively negating much of his damage output while healing yourself in the process. Stay vigilant about C4 placements and avoid getting caught offstage by his Nikita missile, as it can lead to early KOs. Use your speed to pressure Snake when he attempts to wall you out with grenades, but be cautious of his dash attacks and grabs when landing. Remember to control the ledge, as this matchup heavily favors Ness if you can maintain your focus and capitalize on Snake's reliance on explosives.
Tips for Ness vs Snake
- 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
