→Tier placement and history: "What's more" sounded really awkward, also moved the bit about the US ranking Ness higher into the last paragraph, but not sure if it could be tweaked. Would be a good idea to add a reference for that part though

Regarding Ness' "decline" on the tier list since Smash 4, it should be noted that he still generally performs better.

→Tier placement and history: The Scend being less active isn't necessarily true: he attended 12 majors in 2022 vs 10 majors in 2023, which while a drop isn't really that big enough to note

Cleaned up and revised some things based on dialogue with Cookies. I think this version is balanced and objective, highlighting both Ness' popularity in tournaments and his mediocre tier list placement, as well as his decline from online play.

cleaned up a bit of the language because admittedly it was a bit harsh. My point was that Ness fell on the LumiRank tier list, which is what we usually cite in these sections, and single player tier lists are largely irrelevant in this case. In the case of matchups I was advised against noting specific matchups but I don't see a major issue in noting how Ness's weaknesses are exploitable by the meta defining characters, though that point was not empasized properly

A prior edit used overly negative language and introduced inaccuracies. For example, Ness has not declined on tier lists universally; in fact, top players such as Dabuz have moved him up considerably over time. The editor also advised against including analysis of matchups, yet introduced a new passage about several of his matchups that was also largely inaccurate.

also why was this part removed? We tend to do comparisons to a character's placement in the previous game. Also removed some extraneous and irrelevant wording

except the tier list used is the widely accepted one even if some placements are dubious. No need to note it's the "LumiRank's "official"" tier list

→Tier placement and history: tier list criticism can literally be applied to every tier list. It basically comes with the package of having a tier list

→Tier placement and history: we no longer report matchup info on the wiki unless it's super polarizing (like Olimar v Samus)

The likening to Zelda seemed off-base to me. Ness plays much more like a brawler than a traditional zoner, and Peach is a better comparison due to the two characters' damage output, floatiness, and unique aerial stalling mechanic.
