Neutral
Ness creates unpredictable chaos with his:
Strong aerials
PK Fire
Magnet reverses
But luckily his aerials don't have a ton of range
Disadvantage
Get Ness into a juggle situation if possible
He is floaty, and you can rack up damage this way
Be careful when edgeguarding - his recovery mixups are good
DONT GET THUNDERSLAMMED.
Don't jump out if it's too late to stop his recovery.
Airdodge recoveries can be twoframed
Advantage
Ness might spam PK Thunder at you - learn which attacks clash with it, so you don't have to dodge
How to avoid Yo-Yo edge blocking:
Recover quick, so he can't set it up
Recover high (it has enough end lag that it's worth a sloppy recovery)
