Snake vs Ness
In the Snake versus Ness matchup, it's crucial to avoid relying too heavily on explosives, as Ness can absorb them with his PSI Magnet to regain health. Instead, focus on utilizing your aerials like back air and down air to keep pressure on Ness, especially when he's offstage. When he attempts to recover with PK Thunder, use your Nikita missile to intercept him, as it can catch him off-guard and shorten his recovery. Additionally, look for opportunities to grab Ness and follow up with down throw combos, keeping him at bay while setting up for kills.
