Goodbye to Ness?

[KritikalError]

Hey everyone (:

I don't know if this was found or not yet, but I was recently (Literally, like, 2 minutes ago) reading on the new Smash game at the Smash Bros Dojo site, and I read somehting that kinda struck me odd.
I don't know when this update-thing was launched (today, I think), but it was regarding Lucas' special moves. Under one of the sections it reads: "There’s a character named Ness who has appeared in the Smash Bros. series up until now, and Lucas is very similar."
Yeah, thats right, "Up until now". Does this mean that Ness isn't gonna be in the new one? I apoligize to anyone if they already seen this, or if it's just common sence that he won't be. I figured I'd post it and get th latest info =P

Anyone care to discuss?

 

[Shuma]

Yes Ness is out, the end.

 

[vesperview]

You're almost 24 hours late... Ness is gone.

 

[KritikalError]

Yes Ness is out, the end.

... What!? Man thats dumb as rocks.

 

[KritikalError]

I'm PISSED!? Why would they take Ness out!? I loved Ness ;_;

 

[Shuma]

... Sighhh. Please don't hate me for this.

But who's Claus?

 

[Shuma]

Lucas's evil brother, Nintendo's Darth Vader etc etc. He has a lighthing Sword OMG.

He's in my sig. Left to the green S.

 

[vesperview]

... Sighhh. Please don't hate me for this.

But who's Claus?

Lucas's twin brother.

 

[ThoraxeRMG]

A dumb character.
Now, please LOCK thread!

Please don't judge Lucas so soon. ^.^ I suggest getting a translation and trying MOTHER 3 for yourself. He has a lot more character development and more moveset possibilities.

I can understand why you're upset. But I can 100% guarantee you Ness will a least be a trophy and that there will be an EarthBound stage.

[gregthepirate]

I think her meant Lucas = Ness.

 

[ThoraxeRMG]

Don't forget that Mother 3 has a lame final boss!

Ok, I may have accepted Ness is gone, but saying Lucas has more moveset possibilities is ********, they both have a generic psychic move and PK Flash for offense and stat raising and healing PSI for everything else, not to mention they both wield bats and yoyos, if Lucas hadn't stolen the ropesnake he would still have a terrible grab just like Ness did in Melee.

And this is an accomplishment for you?

 

[KritikalError]

Well, according to everyone else, dropping Ness was a great idea. And yes I also apoligize for jumping to bad conclousions and stuff =P

ANDDD I'm also sorry for making a thread about this, cause this is already old news to everyone else xD. I was just late getting the heads up, but it's good that I understand it all now (:

Thanks guysss!

Stop throwing insults. He has a rope snake, as well as tinder/mystic wand. There is also items only in MOTHER 3. Please do not call anyone or their views "********". It only creates the ignorant weight of irony. :/

I am disappointed actually. He won't be forgotten forever though. I am sure a trophy is just waiting to be taken by Ness. =)

 

[ThoraxeRMG]

Ryuka wa dame desu nee~
Nesu wa sugoi!

 

[Smashbros2000]

Aww man, Ness doesn't have a chance anymore now that Lucas has his same moves as him

 

[MookieRah]

Everyone is so adamant that Ness is out that I have to play devil's advocate. Lets see the evidence deconfirming Ness:

The Starmen.net rumor.
The latest update, which has been revealed to have slight translation errors that don't come off so harshly for Ness in the other languages.
Lucas's moveset

None of these things are enough to outright prove Ness to be out, yet everyone makes the assumption that he is. Yes, it's likely that he isn't going to be playable, but don't act like it's fact.

So? There are also items and abilities that come only from Mother 2, none of them actually have enough moves to sustain a full moveset, that's why they steal other characters's items and abilities, saying he has more moves is unfair and ignorant, they are both in the same terrain.
