Super Smash Bros. Melee/Ness

Why Ness?
Ness, despite being a low-tier character, has massive potential. He is one of the trickiest characters in the game and has excellent mindgames. He has a few very powerful moves. The thing that really holds him back is his steep learning curve. Ness is a great character for those who want to work hard and surpass high-tier players with a low-tier character.
