Samus vs Ness
Matchup Tips and Strategies
When playing Samus against Ness, leverage your homing missiles to disrupt his aerial mobility, as they can catch him off guard during his jumps and cannot be absorbed by his Psi Magnet. Be ready to punish Ness when he tries to recover with PK Thunder; charging a shot can catch him off guard, or you can use your neutral aerial if he's approaching from the side. If he recovers low, deploying bombs can effectively intercept his ascent. Additionally, use your charge shot to force Ness to commit, allowing you to set up grabs for lethal up-throws once he's at higher percentages.
