Bowser vs Ness

In the matchup against Ness, Bowser can effectively utilize his mobility to navigate around Ness's Side B, especially by short hopping to evade it and then running or dodging underneath. When Ness is airborne, Bowser's Fair can punish him if you time your jump correctly to avoid the attack. Additionally, Bowser's heavy weight allows him to survive Ness's early kill setups, so focus on using your powerful grabs and down special to control space and apply pressure. Keep an eye on Ness's PK Thunder recovery; you can intercept him with Bowser's strong aerials if you position yourself well.
