Ness (SSBB): Difference between revisions

Ness has been buffed from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' to ''Brawl''. As a result, he is currently ranked 26th out of 38 on the [[tier list]] (mid-low tier), rather than 23rd out of 26 (bottom tier) as he was in ''Melee''. 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 limited and easily disruptable recovery, the rather poor [[reach]] in most of his attacks, possessing one of the worst set of [[smash attack]]s, and by the 10 additional frames of [[lag]] he suffers when [[grab release]]d, leaving him 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 poor matchups with several [[Counter (matchup)|counters]], and he has had average [[tournament]] results.
