Ness vs Pikachu
Matchup Tips and Strategies
In the matchup against Pikachu, utilize Ness's PSI Magnet to absorb Thunder Jolts and other projectiles, which can help you regain health while negating Pikachu's zoning. Keep an eye on Pikachu’s quick aerial mobility and use Ness's PK Fire to catch him off-guard, especially if he tries to approach from above. Be cautious of Pikachu's quick attacks like Quick Attack and Nair; spacing yourself correctly can allow you to punish his landings with Ness’s powerful back throw or up smash. Maintaining stage control is crucial, as Ness can edge guard Pikachu effectively with his PK Thunder, so look for opportunities to push him offstage.
