Ness (SSBB): Difference between revisions

Ness is currently ranked 26th out of 38 on the [[tier list]], a decent improvement from his placement in Melee, where he was ranked 23rd out of 26 characters. Ness possesses a strong aerial game with very useful [[aerial attack]]s, as well as effective [[tilt]]s, effective [[throw]]s, a projectile with great trapping and damage potential in [[PK Fire]], a versatile projectile capable of very early KOs and [[mindgame]]s in [[PK Thunder]], and multiple powerful, reliable finishers (such as his back throw and back aerial). Ness is greatly hindered, however, by his terrible recovery, the rather poor [[reach]] in most of his attacks, possessing one of the worst ground games in the game (due to his aforementioned poor range, his almost non-existent approach options on the ground, slow mobility and poor smash attacks), and by the 10 additional frames of [[lag]] he suffers when [[grab release]]d, leaving him extremely vulnerable to grab release followups from almost every character, as well as [[infinite]] and zero to death grab release [[chain grab]]s (most infamously from {{SSBB|Marth}} and {{SSBB|Donkey Kong}}, but also {{SSBB|Charizard}} and {{SSBB|Squirtle}}). Ness overall has below-average matchups with several [[Counter (matchup)|counters]], and he has had average [[tournament]] results.
