If you want to get into hyper competitive technical terms, then it's all pretty much up in the air right now. These are the wild west days of brawl. It hasn't been out long enough for there to be any definitive tier lists, which developed over years for melee. And even then, tier lists don't matter half as much as skill because most of us aren't good enough to push a character to their theoretical limit. I'm definitely not a super competitive player, and I've yet to meet anyone here that can just outright stomp my ass over and over again like the pros most likely could. So if you like Ness, go, play with him and get good with him and you'll be able to compete based on your skill as a player, and not based on a character's worth.
You can find me on facebook as Markus Van Rijn, if you friend me just mention you're from VGchartz and who you are here.
