-If Ness grabs you at low percents, you can mix up your DI in and out. He has garaunteed combos from both, but he has to react to punish.

-At mid percent if you get grabbed by Ness, you can DI away to get out of combos, he will probably go for stage control and throw you offstage though.

-Ness gameplan is mostly to trade so he can abuse his raw killing power, try to play as clean as possible and a bait and punish and hit and run gameplan.

-Ness is kinda slow, so you can abuse your mobility and run away from him fairly easy. Use all your movement options to your advantage and remember to keep mixing it up.

-Never approach if you don't have to, camp if necessary.

-Throwing Jolts to aid you in your edgeguard is an easy way to make him burn his double jump or to get info on how he will recover.
