Eh, I don't see why there isn't one of these yet...o_O
Alright, as Ness mainers, most of us should understand that Ness is being ranked as severely low in the character listings so far, and some can go as far as to say he is being underrated!
Aside from having almost no tournament representation (which is a problem difficult to fix), Ness' real bad points and good points lie in his match-ups. (No duh...). The current match-up charts are quite poor and inaccurate, so we should try to help the community by at least shaping up Ness' match-ups. Yeah, our judgment may seem biased, considering he is our main. But as long as we support match-up arguments with firm proof, we can boost Ness up a little higher in the tiers, right?
Because of his bad tourney representation, I'm just gonna guess that the highest Ness can be right now is Upper-Mid. He is currently ranked at Lower-Mid/Lower Tier. () So as Ness mains, our mission should be to raise him to at least Upper Mid through means of analyzing his match-ups (okay, lol, now I'm just repeating myself).
Now I'm sure that if we get enough argument and enough strong points being made in these boards, we can draw some attention from other people helping to construct the match-up chart, and maybe they'll consider our suggestions. Sound good? Or a little too optimistic?
Okay, eh, to start off, let's discuss Ness' supposedly bad match-ups. Or good match-ups. Whatever.
*Lol, let's exclude Charizard and Marth from this, we already know they can slaughter Ness. *
Discussion is open!

Eh, I figure it'll be very helpful if I link some of the useful match-up topics for Ness that have been made on these boards. The links can be used for references, I suppose.
