Ness (SSBM): Difference between revisions

Ness was initially viewed as low-mid tier character in the metagame, with a peak of 15th place on the second tier list. Following this, however, Ness's standing on the tier list constantly fell down to the lower tiers, with most players noticing that his [[nerf]]s from ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' hindered his KO moves and his already poor linear, predictable recovery; this was especially noted in the earlier ''Smash 64'' metagame, as Ness was initially viewed as a top-tiered character.

On the current tier list, Ness places at 23rd, in the F tier, and he is considered almost non-viable for tournament play. Dedicated Ness players are rare in the current metagame, with most Ness players often using him as a situational counterpick; {{Sm|Hungrybox}} only used Ness once in all of [[Apex 2013]], in an attempt to counter {{Sm|Armada}}'s {{SSBM|Young Link}}, and he mostly used {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}} for the rest of the tournament. Other players of Ness are semi-active and generally do not place very well with him, even with the powerful [[Yoyo glitch]].
