I personally think Ness should return but it's true his chances got lowered. I don't really think there's any point in arguing the only way to be sure of his removal is to wait until brawl gets release or sakurai that sais so.

It suck's that Ness as a character won't be returning but I don't see why it has to be that big a deal when Lucas is not only from the same series, but he even dresses the same. The only difference is their hair color and Lucas's lack of a hat. After his special moves were revealed how can you still be disappointed when they are all on a whole, improvements over Ness's?

If Link were "confirmed to be gone", I would be very upset, but I would not become irrational and start searching for signs of his return. You just accept it and move on. We're sorry your main was removed from the game, but exerting extreme emotions is not going to bring him back.

I agree, but no one should come to this thread and tell everyone they're idiots for still having hope, I lost it after I saw today's update.

I agree. As long as you promise not to act like idiots, no one should come in and call you one. It is just so tempting for these trolls when Ness fans freak out and start reexamining DOJO translations in hopes of bringing him back. Mourn all you want, but just let it go!

Because hes not a blonde Ness. Hes Lucas tha protaganist of Mother 3.

Ness, apart from being my main, is the protaganist of Earthbound, which is my favorite game.
Hence, I am upset.

People are countering 1 languages translation with another one, saying that language may give a strong clue to Ness' replacing, another language doesn't

But Mother 3 is just Earthbound 2...same series, actually probably a better game (I haven't played the whole thing)

......Ness has to be out. I just can't believe anymore, I've lost hope.
Are you kidding??!?

IF YOU THINK NESS WILL BE OUT, READ THIS.

"There’s a character named Ness who has appeared in the Smash Bros. series up until now, and Lucas is very similar. They are from the same family of PK users.

But Lucas’s physical combat style is quite different. By which I mean, he does not have the same standard moves."


Okay.

-Sakurai mentions Ness, and doesn't "apologize" about anything. He never says anything about Ness being out.

-He states LITERALLY that Ness's combat style is DIFFERENT than Lucas's! That's basically saying "Hey man, they're both in, and Lucas won't be a clone!"

-"This is also quite different from Ness’s."---How does that not SCREAM "NESS IS STILL IN" to you? HE SAID "NESS'S"! That's showing Ness has possession in the present tense. Meaning Ness still has a side-b move, meaning Ness still exists.

I am extremely confident that Ness is still in.

He had to make him different, Lucas main weapon is a stick, not baseball bats or yo-yos, anyway, how do you know that this attacks, even if they are different, make different damage, knockback, and stuff, and are different in everything except the look?
maybe they are not, but still, Ness has 30% of getting in, and I doubt he would make it.

Can't Lucas equip those anyway though?

Ness: a casualty of SSB's translation into next-gen

will we see others fall as a result of being "outdated"?

If you don't understand that ^^^^^, then maybe you'll understand this:

Who the hell expected the Ice Climbers? Have they had a game in 20 years?

Yeah he still exists in the minds of all of those who mained him, Sakurai doesn't need to apologize for anything, he is gone and that's what he always wanted.

All references of Ness have a "thing of the past" feel to them. Dont deny it. If he wanted to keep his inclusion status up in the air, he would have said "so far", not "until now"...

Sakurai wanted Lucas to replace Ness since Melee. People need to stop being in denial, because it will just be worse when the roster is leaked...

"There’s a character named Ness who has appeared in the Smash Bros. series up until now, and Lucas is very similar."

if you still dont get it look closer "up until now", i think hes trying to say ness is gone. not that i mind realy lucas is much cooler and will prolly have a ness costume.

Normally, I would mock you for repeating some very common knowledge, but ironically, it was very much needed. There are still people wandering around saying, "What? I don't get it. Ness is gone? How do you know? Where is your proof? You guys are making stuff up. Just because Lucas' moves are similar doesn't mean Ness is out!"

garbage, you seem to like to use other statements from Sakurai in hopes of nullifying the phrase "until now". Do you know what "until" means? "Until" is an expression of termination. Sakurai explicitly mentioned "the Smash Bros." series and used past tense to say "Ness who has appeared"...

Get over it. Your confidence in Ness' return is only going to make you look like a fool unless the DOJO man is really that bad of a translator (which, I believe, SamuraiPandai stated he is not).

Did you miss the first line of the update???
Read the first line...in Spanish? (I actaully translated it, [using my knowledge of Spanish and a translater] and it sounds diffrent from English)Japanese? [used a translater only; bear with me please] French? [a diffrent side of the story]

Here's the Spanish Translation of the first paragraph thingy:

Surely you will agree of Ness, a personage that appeared in previous editions of Smash Bros. Therefore well, Lucas very is seemed to him. In fact, they stem from the same family of users of PSI.
Nevertheless, their style of battle is quite different, since do not have the same movements.

Italian:

Lucas is very like to Ness, a character that up to now always is appeared in the series of Smash Bros.. Both they use the PSI you be able.

But their way to fight is rather different. And with this understand that they have not the same moved standard.

French:

You knew Ness since his apparition in the series Smash Bros, you go therefore quickly to adopt Lucas, that resembles for him a lot. They belong to the same family of personages PK.

They not at all have nevertheless the same style of physical fight. Which I want to say, is that they do not use the same standard blows.

Japanese:

Although the character called 'ネス' that was appearing on the スマブラ series to now is リュカ is near it.
《主語なし》I use PK and be a same family and ね.

However, the body means differ considerably.
《主語なし》Whether or not it says that same there is not ワザ usually.

So you know what=??? We got A LOT of MIXED RESULTS! This is very, very, very confusing, definitely.

And anyone telling me to deal with it STFU! Stop being a f***ing jerk, and shut up, seriously.

You know what?


**** Lucas.

See what I care.

Any Lucas player I'm automaticly turning off my Wii.
QFT. If Ness isn't in Brawl, whenever I see a Lucas user, I will put my 2,000% into beating them, I will be a jerk, and I will win. I will PWN ALL OF THEM TO EXTREMES!

If they're both in Brawl, I'll try BOTH OF THEM!

@ garbage
You win the smash world sir. Congradulatons, you are now my best friend! :)

If Ness is in Brawl (and confirmed tomorrw), that will be the best character update ever IMO. Definitely! :)

I think most everyone wants Ness anyways.

O and if Ness is too old, tell that to Mario, Donkey Kong, Pit, Ice Climbers, and soon Mr. Game and Watch fans, to prove you are a IDIOT! :chuckle:

Nice way of translating it into spanish to make people get the wrong idea, I'll translate that exactly as it should be translated.

There’s a character named Ness who has appeared in the Smash Bros. series up until now, and Lucas is very similar.

Translation:

Hay un personaje llamado Ness que ha aparecido en la serie Smash Bros. hasta ahora y Lucas es muy similar.

It deconfirms him just as much, speaking of Ness in past tense, the UNTIL NOW, is the one that completely kills Ness, and don't argue my translation cause I know much more spanish than you.

I still have yet to see proof that the English translation is wrong.

The sites are translated accurately. From what I know, though, the German site is a bit different, but it kinda hints Ness is out even MORE than the original blatantly does.
