 '''Ness''' ({{ja|ネス|Nesu}}, ''Ness'') returns as a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. Ness was officially confirmed on October 3rd, 2014, alongside {{SSB4|Falco}} and {{SSB4|Wario}}, coinciding with the Western release of {{for3ds}}. As in all of ''Super Smash Bros. 4''{{'}}s predecessors, Ness is once again voiced by {{s|wikipedia|Makiko Ōmoto}}, who has now recorded new voice-clips for both versions of the game.
-Ness is ranked 28th/29th out of 54 characters on the [[tier list]] (tied with {{SSB4|Lucas}}), placing both him and Lucas as the bottom of C tier. This is a vast improvement from his 26th out of 38 in ''Brawl'', and his best placement relative to previous ''Smash Bros.'' games. Ness no longer suffers from possessing 10 extra frames upon getting [[grab release]]d, which was a huge detriment to his survival. Besides that, Ness possesses arguably the best grab game among the entire cast (competing with {{SSB4|Mewtwo}}'s and {{SSB4|Luigi}}'s), with his forward and up throws leaving opponents in very unfavorable positions, his down throw being a great combo starter at lower percentages and his back throw being the most powerful throw in the game, on top of being difficult to DI properly. Ness' other notable strengths include an effective [[projectile]]-zoning game with [[PK Fire]] and [[PK Thunder]], a formidable air game courtesy of his powerful aerials, and a versatile combo game thanks to his throws and aerials. Despite being a middleweight, he also has high raw KO power and high damage output, a prime example being his aerials, forward smash, PK Flash and PK Thunder 2. Finally, due to the strengths above, Ness possesses very useful options to cover getups from a ledge or on the ground.

Finally, due to the strengths above, Ness possesses very useful options to cover getups from a ledge or on the ground.
 However, Ness has rather sub-par mobility and range, which often forces him to be methodical with his approaches, or play defensively in order to gain the lead, which can leave him at a disadvantage against characters with [[disjointed hitbox]]es (especially swordies) or speed demons, such as {{SSB4|Cloud}} and {{SSB4|Sonic}}, respectively. Lastly, and the most problematic flaw is his [[recovery]]. Despite being greatly improved, PK Thunder remains quite gimpable as the lightning bolt can clang with other attacks, while opponents can forcibly push Ness out of the way or even take a hit from the lightning bolt, making his recovery fail.
