We all (or mostly all of us) know that Ness was almost replaced by a character named Lucas from Earthbound in Melee, but we were lucky and the development team was already too far with the game to replace Ness. But not too many people use him, let alone like him really, which makes him a so-so character for Brawl considering he was almost replaced in Melee. But he is my favorite character in both Smash Bros and Melee, and considering HE WAS in the original, I have strong faith that he will be in Brawl. I don't care weither (spelling?) they make him higher or lower in the tier, I still pwn with him at tourneys despite him being ranked fifth lowest in the tier. So who else wants our favorite little boy from Melee to be in Brawl? Discuss reasons why and why not he would be included.

You know, I did...until I saw 50 new Ness threads today. Now I hope he burns and is replaced by Lucas.

I like using Ness a lot, in both SSB64 and Melee. But I'm not an Earthbound/Mother fan, so I don't really have a connection with him as a character. If he were replaced with Lucas, I don't think I'd be too broken up about it.
BUT, since Ness WAS in Melee, I think he's got a good chance of returning. If they were going to replace Ness with Lucas, I really think they would've had to figure out a way of doing it for Melee. At this point, Ness has more weight in the roster than if he were only in SSB64, especially since he was one of the starters in Melee.
I'd say Ness is in. But I'm sure there are like 900 threads this could've gone in.

Whether.
I am totally indifferent to Ness, I liked him in SSB64 but in Melee he sucked to much to be playable.

Would it really be bad to have him replaced by Lucas?
Personally, I don't care if he's replaced or not. Lucas and Ness are very similar and will probably play similarly. They're both silent protagonists and both heroes from one of the bestest RPG series of all time.
As long as one of the two silent psychic boys is in, and hopefully stronger ( although I'd still play as him ), I'm fine.

Hah maybe we'll have Lucas be unlockable, sort of like a Marth and Roy thing and have two fighters that are really, really similar character-wise.

The good news for you Earthbound fans is that another character from the original smash was confirmed: Yoshi. That only leaves Ness as the only starter character from the original not confirmed yet. But i don't think they will stop short at 1 less from the original.

I like Ness, even if I veery rarely play as him. I used him more in SSB64, where he didn't suck as much. And well, since he was in SSB64, I see his chances of returning almost 100% actually. I mean, they can't just put Luigi, Falcon and Jigglypuff in there, and leave the only other original unlackable, Ness, out, can they?

Yes, they are a bit similar in the games, but Ness used Paula's moves as specials, and there are more items to draw moves from. In short, they can make Ness and Lucas completely different, with moves they haven't used.

Ness was the one you unlocked by beating Story Mode with 3 lives on normal difficulty. He wasn't a starting original.

I don't know too much about Lucas, but judging by comments, Sakurai can have both of them in without resorting to clones. I'm for Ness appearing in Brawl and I'm fairly certain he will make it since he was an original.

You mean Lucas from Mother 3? They both can be in...at the same time.

None of the unlockables from the original have been confirmed. They just now confirmed the original 8.

But I think Luigi and Puff will remain hidden, so that only leaves Capt Falcon and Ness from the original 12, plus whoever is returning from Melee.

Personallt I think that Ness sucks, but I wouldn't care if he was in the game because I just won't play as him. I also belive that ness will be in the game because he was in origonal and smash, he is also apperantley the main character. Judjing by what was said about Lucas, I would say that there willl be a high chance of himm being in. I hope they change his controls though, then I would play as him. Are the Earthbount/Mother games fun? I've never played one before so I'm wondering if I should... and how.

I don't really care what happens to ness, actually. All I know is that he is an annoying ugly player me and my brother both hate and beat up on ssbm all the time.
