Villager vs Ness

When playing Villager against Ness, focus on using your slingshot to poke at Ness from a distance, as it can disrupt his approach and pressure him. Be mindful of his PK Fire and try to pocket his PK Thunder to turn his recovery against him; if timed correctly, this can lead to his untimely demise offstage. Additionally, maintain control of the stage by planting your Tree, which can provide both a shield and a healing option while also serving as a potential kill setup. Avoid getting caught in Ness's combos and use your aerial mobility to stay just outside of his range, punishing any overextensions.
