That's probably the best case scenario for Ness, actually.
His ground game is mediocre, with exception of his grab game. (Which has poor range, but phenomenal power.)
He can break shields more often than a lot of others in his weight class, aside from Peach/Lucina/Marth, too.
There aren't a lot of Greninjas or Sonics breaking shields... lol.
Ness shouldn't be attacking shields too much anyway, instead trying to evoke a fear of shielding in the opponent by getting as many grabs as possible.
(Tomahawks are a big deal for Ness. Ness can even dair into the ground without landing lag to fake out the opponent to provoke shielding, so he can get another grab.)
Ness' grab options average 19-23% reliably, which is more than enough to make an opponent reconsider relying too hard on shield.
