I wanted to write out a small theory I had come up with today in regards to the Smash leak.
As we know, Kirby was the only survivor of the Master Being's destructive force, using an emergency escape to warp off the planet.
Now, what's interesting is that any other characters with some form of teleport we quickly saw wiped out, due to their decision to stand back and fight. Correctly if I'm wrong, the only characters who can teleport great distances, without the need of external sources like Mega Man, Link or Sonic, are Bayonetta, Mewtwo, Mario (to the Odyssey) and Palutena. All three had a chance to escape, and stood their ground, only to be destroyed. This is not counting characters whose true abilities or unknown, such as Mr. Game and Watch, who may or may not have transdimensional capabilities.
There is, however, one other character capable of utilization a Teleportation power that we had not seen in the initial cutscene for Spirits. A character, who, for all intensive purposes, had the ability to survive, even just a slight one, the events of the Spirit Hands.

I went through every single character thoroughly to try to pinpoint this exact setup, and what led me to be suspicious is, at the stakes we have, Ness is the only one who could've possibly made it out alive besides Kirby.
You see, Ness learns an interesting ability in Earthbound known as PSI Teleport alpha. This ability allows Ness to teleport anywhere he has been before, as long as he has enough space in front of him to run in a straight line.

What's intriguing to me about this is that in Mother 3, Lucas never receives such an ability. This is something exclusive to Ness alone, and leads me to be suspicious. Assuming every character was on the cliff during the cutscene, Ness would've been able to get out of there using abilities he had learned prior to the events of Smash Ultimate. The speed that Ness goes at during the usage of PSI Teleport is fast enough to suspect he would've been able to dodge the blasts, if only for just long enough to get out of here.
While this is particularly interesting, since Ness is one of the original 12, I wouldn't be surprised if this would lead to him being one of the first unlocks in the game. But there's another piece of this puzzle: Lucas. As of the events of the Subspace Emissary, Ness really cares about Lucas. It's very possible in this scenario that Ness began to teleport, hoping to grab Lucas, only to fail, leaving Ness teleported in a desolate part of the planet, on a hunt to find and rescue his friend. I feel like this would be a really fun and endearing side plot to rescuing everyone; to find Ness, untouched by Spirits, on a journey to find someone he cares deeply about.
This is all just a silly theory, and doesn't have much evidence supporting it, but if anyone was going to survive besides Kirby, it'd be Ness.
