 ===Tier placement and history===
-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, with most players noticing that his [[nerf]] from ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' hindered his ability to [[combo]] and safely [[approach]] foes, while his buffs did not address his extremely short range on many of his attacks or his linear, predictable recovery; this was especially noted in the earlier ''Smash 64'' metagame, as Ness was initially viewed as top-tiered character.

 On the current tier list, Ness places at 23rd, in the F tier, and he is considered 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]].
