Pikachu vs Ness
In the matchup against Ness, focus on keeping him offstage where he struggles to recover. Use back airs to push him away, and when he attempts to return with PK Thunder, counter with Thunderjolts to disrupt his trajectory. Stay grounded to avoid his aerial dominance; punish his full hops with up tilts or up airs, especially when he tries to land after using PK Fire. Juggling Ness with quick attacks can help maintain stage control, and always be mindful of avoiding his PK Fire to prevent unnecessary damage.
