If he were like a certain Hylian princess, he'd have virtually no grab release/chaingrab issues outside of the Ice Climbers. If that wasn't there, I'd say that he'd be mid tier at least, recovery issues and tougher match-ups still present.

Ness is low tier for two reason in my opinion.

Predictable recovery for one.

CGs and grab releases...

However, it doesn't really mean that ness truly sucks, it just means that sakurai clearly wasn't thinking right when he made ness. I mean, if there was a true counter to grabs in brawl, and ness had another option of recovering such as a pk magnet that can stall like fox's shine, ness would definitely deserve a higher ranking in the tier bracket...

I'll always main him no matter what though, hopefully waiting for a mysterious answer for his main problem, which is cgs. and when that answer is found, ohh boy, its on....
Ness is only CG by Marth and Charizard, and grab released by a few. I think Mario is worse off, his recovery is worse than Ness AND he's Infinited by D3.

Leave Mario out of this. He's higher than Mario already, leave it at that. Stop trying to kick him while he's down.

In the long run it doesn't matter how good your character is unless you play MK or snake. That's it really.

Fixed for the truth.

Anyone else that wins is a myth, look at the first post of the character rankings thread. You'll see.
