In a first for the series, {{s|wikipedia|Makiko Ōmoto}} does not provide Ness with any new voice clips, instead all [[PK Freeze|but one]] of his voice lines from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' have been repurposed for ''Ultimate''. | In a first for the series, {{s|wikipedia|Makiko Ōmoto}} does not provide Ness with any new voice clips, instead all [[PK Freeze|but one]] of his voice lines from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' have been repurposed for ''Ultimate''. | ||
Ness is currently ranked 40th out of 82 characters on the Ultimate [[tier list]], placing him in the B+ tier. This is a marginal improvement from his ranking in ''Smash 4'', where he was ranked 28th/29th out of 54 characters and tied with {{SSB4|Lucas}}. Ness has a fairly well-rounded design in ''Ultimate,'' with useful tools in most phases of the game. He is most notable for his strong aerial game: all of his aerials are fast, powerful, disjointed, and useful for both racking up damage and KOing. His grab game is also among the best in the cast, as all of his throws have practical uses: His down throw is a viable combo starter, and his back throw is among the strongest KO throws in the game. Furthermore Ness' specials all have flexible utility: [[PK Flash]], [[PSI Magnet]], and [[PK Fire]] can all start or extend combos, while the latter can quickly rack up damage and set up strong punishes. Ness's recovery has improved in ''Ultimate'' thanks to buffs to [[PK Thunder]] and PK Thunder 2 — and by virtue of having the longest directional air dodge distance in the game alongside {{SSBU|Lucas}}. | Ness is currently ranked 40th out of 82 characters on the Ultimate [[tier list]], placing him in the B+ tier.

However, Ness does have some weaknesses. He suffers from poor ground mobility and a lack of range in his normal attacks, which limits his approach options and forces him to play more defensively against characters with large disjoints. Still, his most glaring flaw is perhaps his recovery, which, despite its improvements, is one of the more exploitable recoveries in the game. | However, Ness does have some weaknesses.
