Strategies

VS Ness

Ness has quite a handful of tricks in his hat and he is not afraid to use it. When he is at a distance, he will happily throw PK Thunder at his opponents to dish in some extra percentages. During close range combat, he will tend to use PK Fire to create a shield for himself and to weaken his enemy. Moreover, quite a few of his moves possess a longer range than most characters (not to mention the fact that his attacks have higher priority than most anyway), so players fighting against this foe should know their limits and formulate a strategy accordingly.

Keep in mind that Ness has a difficult time executing his third jump, especially in narrow locations. Use this essential weakness to your advantage in a fight.
