However, he has received drastic nerfs in other much more important areas that reduced the effectiveness of his PK Fire and most notably, removed his most notable combo finisher in his down aerial, while making it an extremely unsafe move on the ground (unless the move is auto-cancelled), significantly impaired his already poor recovery and drastically reduced his KO power and options. Also, his outstanding combo game has both been buffed and nerfed: his forward aerial can now chain into itself and other aerials while his dash attack has many different follow-up options depending on where it hits, (while also having greatly increased range as mentionned previously), and he now has an up and down throw, giving him two good setup and combo throws. However, his down aerial's start-up lag has been drastically increased and as such, can't be comboed into anymore while now being easily punishable on the ground if not auto-cancelled. Finally, while the overall range in his attacks has increased, it still remains extremely poor in comparaison with the entire cast and thus, can still be easily and quickly overwhelmed when approaching opponents due to the barely increased range relative to the cast. As a result, Ness has a lower tier placing in ''Melee''; while already placing in the low tier of ''Smash 64'' despite the early ''Smash 64'' metagame viewing him as a top-tier, and Ness is still seen as nearly non-viable in tournaments. | ||
