How to Beat Team Ness in SSBB

Attack Ness using your character's strongest melee attacks. Ness has the ability to absorb projectile attacks, so stick close to inflict the most damage. Continue to attack Ness until his damage level rises high enough to knock him off the ledge.

Press the directional key in the direction of Ness a split-second before you perform a regular attack to perform a smash attack. A smash attack knocks your opponent across the stage. The lighter your opponent is, and the more damage you inflict, the better your chances of knocking him out of the stage. If Ness recovers, continue to attack him to increase his damage level and try again.

Guard the edge of the stage to prevent any member of Team Ness from recovering. Ness must hit himself with his Psi-Thunderbolt to recover, so guard the edge and attack him with a projectile before he can be hit by the thunderbolt.

Grab items and open item containers to improve your health and get weapons that can be used against Team Ness. Projectile weapons may empower Ness if he absorbs them, but melee weapons and summons such as Assist Trophies and Poke Balls are effective. The best items are the ones that guarantee a knockout, such as the Golden Hammer.

Chase and attack the Smash Ball if it appears on the level during your battle with Team Ness. If your character breaks open the Smash Ball, he will unleash his Final Smash attack. Each character's Final Smash is different, but any of them will help your character in his fight against Team Ness.
