Articles About Ness
MOTHER Game - Manga - Novel
Other Media Super Smash Bros.

Ness was a seemingly-average kid from Onett, but in truth, he was destined for much more. When a strange meteorite landed near his hometown, the little boy with psychic powers set out to save the world. Little has been said of Ness' character, and much remains hidden.
~ His in-game character description
Ness is a young boy who's mastered the psychic power known as PSI. Ness was living a normal life in the suburbs of Onett until a meteor crashed into a nearby mountain and sent him on a wild adventure. Believing in the ultimate powers of wisdom, courage, and friendship, Ness proves that some heroes come in small packages.
~ Ness' trophy description
An average boy whose life changed when he found a meteor and an alien on a nearby mountain. The alien warned him of a future threat, and adventure ensued. He can use energy known as PSI and also wields a bat and yo-yo. This brave youth gives his all to defeat the evil Giygas.
~ Ness' trophy description
Hailing from Onett, a small town in Eagleland, this young boy's ordinary looks hide his psychic powers. Ness fought against the evil Giygas in Earthbound, and in Smash Bros. he unleashes some of the same PSI moves. Watch out for PK Thunder, a guided attack that can also launch Ness like a rocket!
~ Ness' trophy description

Notable Techniques

  • PK Flash: Ness creates a huge blast of light. He can direct it a short distance away although it will eventually explode, the longer the ball of light is moved, the more damaging the explosion will be
  • PK Fire: Ness summons a blast of fire. If it hits the target, the target will be trapped in the fire for a while unless he breaks free or until the fire stops.
  • PK Thunder: Ness generates a blast of electricity, Ness can use it to harm opponents a long distance away or use it as a recovery move if the electricity hits him, which will cause ness to fly into the air.
  • PSI Magnet: Ness creates a PSI forcefield, if elemental or energy projectiles enter the forcefield, Ness will heal damage.
  • PK Starstorm: Ness causes huge meteors to fall from the sky, in Brawl, the direction they fall from are random. In Smash Bros. for 3ds and Wii U as well as Ultimate, they can be moved around, which can trap opponents and push them off the ledge.

Other

Standard Tactics: Smash characters are general wild cards whose moveset tailor to how a person plays. Thus making it hard to tell what their standard tactics are.

Weaknesses: Holding his shield for too long will cause it to break leaving them in a dazed state. Ness may backfire on the direction of PK Thunder, either not hitting him and letting him fall or causing him to fly in an unwanted direction. PK Flash is slow and easily avoidable

Note: The attack that Tabuu used to one-shot the entire Smash cast is far above his regular attacks. This is proven in-game, as when he uses this same attack, it one-shots whoever is on-screen, thus arguing that they should not scale to Tabuu because he one-shot them is not accurate as it's with a very specific attack.
