-*{{Sm|ATATA|USA}} - One of the best Ness players in the United States. He began attending more out-of-region events in 2022 and has seen strong showings such as 13th at {{Trn|Low Tide City 2022}} and 17th at {{Trn|Get On My Level 2022}}. He is ranked 91st on the [[UltRank 2022]] for the second half of 2022.
+*{{Sm|ATATA|USA}} - One of the best Ness players in North America, peaking at 91st on the [[UltRank 2022]]. He was first known for winning {{Trn|Midwest Arena 2: Doubles Masters}} after defeating {{Sm|MuteAce}} and has placed well at many other Midwest events, such as 4th at {{Trn|Frosty Faustings XVII 2025}} defeating {{Sm|Riddles}} and 9th at {{Trn|Riptide 2023}}. Outside of his region, his best performances include placing 9th at {{Trn|Rise 'N Grind}} and 17th at both {{Trn|Get On My Level 2022}} and {{Trn|Supernova 2024}}, notably winning the Ness ditto against Scend at GOML and Gackt at Supernova.
 *{{Sm|Gackt|Japan}} - The greatest Ness player of all time. Despite his infamous inconsistency, he is the only Ness player with multiple top 8 finishes at majors, which includes placing 3rd at {{Trn|Kagaribi 7}}, {{Trn|Maesuma TOP 12}} and {{Trn|S Factor 11}}, all of which are the closest a solo-Ness player has came to winning a major. He has been ranked for several years, and peaked at 23rd on the [[LumiRank 2024.1]].
-*{{Sm|PeW|France}} - The best Ness player in Europe since the end of the online era, and was also the second-best Ness player in Europe in the early metagame. He placed top 32 at several majors, including 13th at {{Trn|VCA 2022}} and 25th at both {{Trn|Albion 4}} and {{Trn|COLOSSEL 2022}}. Since late-2022, he has been playing Ness as a secondary alongside {{SSBU|Min Min}}.
+*{{Sm|PeW|France}} - The best Ness player in Europe in the post-pandemic metagame, ranking in the continent's top 50 for several years. He has placed highly at several French events, including 5th at {{Trn|Kings of Fields 95}} and 7th at {{Trn|WANTED S4 C3 - Saint Valentin Edition}}. Outside of Europe, he is best known for winning {{Trn|Vulcan}} over {{Sm|Tarik}} and placing 5th at {{Trn|Glory 2.0}} and 13th at {{Trn|VCA 2022}}. He switched Ness for {{SSBU|Min Min}} in 2023, though he maintains Ness as a secondary.
-*{{Sm|S1|Netherlands}} - The best Ness player in Europe in the early metagame and was also a top 10 player in Europe during that time. Consistently placed top 8 at European tournaments, including placing 7th at the major {{Trn|Albion 4}} and 5th at the superregional {{Trn|Valhalla III}}. He has been mostly inactive since early-2020, occasionally entering tournaments while using secondaries.
+*{{Sm|S1|Netherlands}} - The best Ness player in Europe in the early metagame and one of the best players on the continent. He has placed highly at many of Europe's largest events during this time, including 5th at {{Trn|Valhalla III}}, 7th at {{Trn|Albion 4}}, and 9th at {{Trn|Syndicate 2019}}, all the while defeating several of Europe's best players during this time including {{Sm|Space}} and {{Sm|Meru}}. As such, he was ranked 60th on the [[OrionRank 2019]]. He went inactive following this era, only appearing at a handful of events while playing other characters.
 *{{Sm|Syrup|USA}} - One of the greatest Ness players of all time, although he was only a Ness main in the online metagame and the early years of the post-pandemic metagame. During this time, he first broke out after placing 2nd at the online event {{Trn|SWT: NA Northeast Ultimate Online Qualifier}} and has seen similar performances offline, including placing 5th at {{Trn|Get On My Level 2022}}, {{Trn|Shine 2022}}, and {{Trn|Apex 2022}}. Though he switched to {{SSBU|Steve}} in 2023, he maintains Ness as a counterpick and uses him in events that ban Steve. Notably, he won {{Trn|Cavalier Clash 6}} using Ness to defeat {{Sm|Sparg0}}, marking one of the best Ness performances in ''Ultimate''.
 *{{Sm|Scend|USA}} - One of the best Ness players in the world in the early metagame and the early years of the post-pandemic metagame, peaking at 37th on the [[OrionRank Ultimate: Eclipse]]. He is best known for placing 5th at both {{Trn|Let's Make Big Moves 2022}} and {{Trn|Lost Tech City 2022}}, as well as 9th at both {{Trn|Low Tier City 7}} and {{Trn|MomoCon 2022}}, notably defeating {{Sm|ESAM}} at Lost Tech City and {{Sm|Light|p=Connecticut}} at Low Tier City 7. In addition, he was considered one of the best players in the online metagame and notably won {{Trn|The Box}}, the largest ''Smash'' event of all time in terms of entrants.
