How players beat Ness
Written by players on the ladder, ordered by how the community voted them.
When Ness tries to recover using Up-B (PK Thunder), try to intercept him before he can launch himself back toward the stage. Jump toward Ness while he is using PK Thunder to recover. Use a forward aerial (Fair) or back aerial (Bair) to try to knock him away and send him toward the blast zone. OR DOWN AIR TO SPIKE HIM Watch out for PK Thunder! Ness can launch himself into you, potentially knocking you away and causing you to lose your stock. Be ready to tech the stage. If you get launched into the stage, a well-timed tech can help you survive instead of bouncing away. UNLESS YOU GET LAUNCH ACROSS THE STAGE. Important: Time your aerial carefully so you can hit Ness before he launches himself at you. A stage tech is not guaranteed to save you, so try to avoid getting hit by PK Thunder in the first place.
