Ness

[Hong]

Am I the only one that likes PK Thunder.

Somehow people are getting the idea that anyone here doesn't like it.

That's not the case at all. It could certainly do to be reworked or improved, but that said it's a unique move. If people don't like it, there should be custom special move alternatives for the ninnies.

I like PK Thunder more than all of you. PK Thunder is my main. I am married to PK Thunder.

With the Pacman being released, and this screenshot everyone sad was fake, maybe the screenshots of Ness could be real? I'm digging so hard for hope, and I also want Lucas . Pacman's feet and gloves, aswel as eyebrows match this image, Ness looks completely remastered and much more adorable. Maybe even Jigglypuff?

Agreed. Ness w/o PK thunder is almost meaningless. Bat + PK Thunder + Yoyo + Okay taunt = best smash character ever.

Thank you for acknowledging my marriage to PK Thunder.

Ness is an original character, he'll get in along with Falcon and Jiggs. They have to be.

I really hope they return Ness/Lucas' victory theme to the one used in Melee and 64. I like it SOOOOO Much better than the awful Brawl one.

I would be ok if they used the Brawl one again, so long as they changed the instrumentation and mixed it differently. They didn't really do the original song justice.

I think the alt special moves could end up helping Ness a lot.

 

[Hong]

No one should doubt Ness for any reason.

Unless they did something crazy like brought in Ninten, and just let you switch between Ness and Lucas. Given that they couldn't even give him his proper special moves, I don't care anymore. I just want to see Mother again.

[Smash_Veteran_Amtoj]

Why has he not been revealed yet? I think he has quite a few custom moves.

Maybe enough to make Lucas a pretty unique character too.

 

[BlueberrySyrup]

Ness has to be back, especially with an Earthbound re-release.

Mother's anniversary is July 29th, Reggie cracked a joke at Mother 3, and Star Fox, we got a new Star Fox.

I would hope to god he didn't just insult the Mother fans and leave us dry.

Do you guys think Lucas will be back? That leak is really scaring me.

 

[FooltheFlames]

Ness will come back for sure
they'd be so stupid to out him

 

[grizby2]

anyone think the ness amiibo will resemble his original clay model?

Spoiler

That'd be cool, but it seems like they are basing them on their smash character art (So his art will have to reference it first.)

I'd honestly be ok if they took this exact figure and made it amiibo compatible.

Am gonna play EarthBound again to create Ness hype.

Just cracked Twoson, myself.

Though I suppose it's not special for me... I play M1 and M2 a lot.

 

[Ryan.]

I also love PK Thunder, one of the more unique moves in the game and done right can really do great damage and great recovery. I hope Ness keeps it when he returns. Yes, when.

Oh my God haha their faces.

Hey, you know where I can buy that?

I would like to buy a Ness and Mewtwo figure myself.

You can find it on ebay, but it's fairly expensive.

You two must have a shocking relation ship.

(I couldn't handle not making the joke.)

 

[Pacack]

Been playing through Earthbound for the first time (albiet with knowledge of some of the game's bigger secrets), and I really, really like the game. Having played it a bit now, though, I hope they change him up to be a tad more faithful to his ingame counterpart.

Like making these kinds of atttacks:

Resemble PK Rockin':

(Specifically the diamond shapes and the colors.) Would make me so much happier about everything non-canon he does.

Oh, and this needs to be a taunt:

 

[Curious Villager]

I really want to see my Ness again soon. Oh well the 3DS version will be out in a few month's time so it will be interesting to see what stuff they did with him in the new games.

Actually you'll have to wait for October 3rd

 

[Curious Villager]

Actually you'll have to wait for October 3rd

The Japanese version will be coming out on September 13th so that is just a few month's away and around when we will find out the whole roster. Guess I should have clarified that.

Our marriage is not a joke.

(but what you said is 100% accurate)

 

[Louie G.]

I like that idea a lot, @ Pacack .

I've actually come up with some new ideas for buffing/changing Ness's special attacks, one pertaining to PK Rockin.
Ness becomes more of a set up character with these changes, relying on stunning his opponents and landing powerful attacks on them afterwards.

Standard B: PK Rockin
While I think PK Flash will stay, I like this idea better. It's visually similar but has a different effect. Ness sends out a colorful flashing light that explodes when B is released. The explosion causes colorful diamonds to spread around the area where the explosion took place. The range is slightly larger than that of PK Flash. Opponents caught in the explosion take around 15% damage and are stunned for a short while.

Side B: PK Fire
Almost exactly the same.

Up B: PK Thunder
PK Thunder now acts more like Lucas's variation. The thunder ball stuns opponents for slightly longer than before.

Down B: PSI Shield
Acts largely the same as in Brawl, however the shield is a little bit larger.

PK Starstorm can stay if Ness gets PK Rockin as his Standard B.
If not then PK Starstorm should definitely be Ness's FS.

 

[Pazzo.]

I'm also on my first playthrough of EarthBound... and It's easily on my top 5 games list. With that said, I'm really looking forward to Ness in SSB4, as I'm more familiar with his game now.

Oh, and to all the worriers... It'll be a cold day in Scaraba before Ness gets cut.

Agreed. Gematsu corroborates Ness's survival. At Lucas's expense, but someone has to pay the price of admission.

 

[Simna ibn Sind]

Lucas' PK Thunder is so boooring thoooooooooooo. /whine

I'll be okay if its just one of the alternates for pk thunder.

 

[Mint Alicarth]

I think he flat out needs a new up b. You can't efficiently recover with pkt

Ness' PK Thunder is fine, it just has too much end lag in Melee. If Smash 4 Ness had a Project M PK Thunder, he would be a fantastic character.

 

[Simna ibn Sind]

My problem with PM PK Thunder is that you can just attack it. In Melee PK Thunder acts like a laser and very few things can break it.

 

[Rhus]

I know Ness will be back in, but I really wish they would just announce him to put my mind at ease.

I'm replaying Earthbound at the moment for the billionth time, and re-experiencing why I think Ness is the most interesting Nintendo protagonist there is. In a way, I would almost be entirely happy if they reworked Ness' moveset to incorporate his PSI abilities in game while retaining his playstyle. I've played Ness alongside Fox in every Smash game, but him using his non-canon PK attacks has always bothered me.

 

[HotelWaffle]

The Franklin badge has been shown, if you believe leak Ness will get in over Lucas if either one gets cut so yea I think hes in

 

[praline]

Ness should get in regardless.

 

[HermitHelmet]

Did Ness' Down-B deal damage in Brawl? He's my main in PM, so I wouldn't know about SSBB, but if it doesn't do damage, then change that in Smash 4.
