Shifting opinions on Ness were reflected in ''Ultimate''{{'}}s first [[tier list]], where he debuted at 40th out of 82 characters in the "B+" or "upper mid tier." Notably, Ness' viability was perceived differently across regions: Japan, in particular, ranked him much lower than other countries, especially the United States, where most top players considered Ness a high-tier character.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://blog.start.gg/ultranks-first-official-ssbu-tier-list-4a35bf3dcfc3|title=First Official SSBU Tier List}}, data located in the "Regional Differences" section</ref> Following this first tier list, Syrup made the transition to {{SSBU|Steve}}, relegating Ness to a secondary, and Scend's performances at major events declined. Reflecting this, Ness fell seven spots on the second LumiRank tier list, dropping to the "B-" tier. Opinions of Ness' competitive strength remain varied across regions: While some regions, especially Japan, believe Ness lacks the representation for a higher tier placing, other regions, namely the United States and Latin America, still view Ness as a solid high-tier character and ranked him higher on the second tier list. | Shifting opinions on Ness were reflected in ''Ultimate''{{'}}s first [[tier list]], where he debuted at 40th out of 82 characters in the "B+" or "upper mid tier."

Despite his middling tier list placement, Ness still enjoys strong results at all levels of competition: Gackt remains the preeminent representative of Ness at major and supermajor tournaments, earning the 27th spot on the [[LumiRank 2023]] and managing to defeat {{Sm|MkLeo}} (along with top 20 players {{Sm|Yaura}} and {{Sm|Asimo}}) at {{Trn|GENESIS X}}, while ATATA and Scend continue to achieve high placements at the regional level. Overall, Ness' incredible offensive tools are offset by weaknesses in his neutral and disadvantage; he therefore remains a popular yet polarizing character in competitive play. | Despite his middling tier list placement, Ness still enjoys strong results at all levels of competition: Gackt remains the preeminent representative of Ness at major and supermajor tournaments, earning the 27th spot on the [[LumiRank 2023]] and managing to defeat {{Sm|MkLeo}} (along with top 20 players {{Sm|Yaura}} and {{Sm|Asimo}}) at {{Trn|GENESIS X}}, while ATATA and Scend continue to achieve high placements at the regional level.
