Ike vs Ness

When facing Ness as Ike, your primary focus should be on avoiding his PK Fire, as it can lead to devastating follow-ups. Use your superior range with moves like Aether and Quick Draw to space out Ness and punish his attempts to approach. If you get caught in his PK Fire, be ready to DI away and use your jump to escape his aerial combos. Additionally, keep an eye on his PK Thunder recovery; intercepting Ness with a well-timed Fair can turn the tide in your favor.
