'''Ness''' is a 13 year old boy from [[Onett]], who first appeared in the game ''[[wikibound:EarthBound|EarthBound]]'' (''Mother 2'' in Japan). | '''Ness''' is a 13 year old boy from [[Onett]], who first appeared in the game ''[[wikibound:EarthBound|EarthBound]]'' (''Mother 2'' in Japan). Starting off as a normal young boy, Ness ends up on a journey to save the world from [[wikibound:Giygas|Giygas]]'s alien army. He also develops psychic powers, known as [[wikibound:PSI|PSI]], during the course of the game. Ness is often pictured with a baseball bat, which is the first weapon acquired in ''EarthBound''. He has been linked to [[Mario]] through the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]. Throughout the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], Ness was voiced by [[wikipedia:Makiko Ōmoto|Makiko Ōmoto]], who also voices [[Kirby]]. Ness's name is an anagram of "SNES", the shorthand term for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]], on which ''EarthBound'' was released (however, it is also like "NES" as in the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]]). | ||

To unlock him, the player has to beat 1-P Mode on Normal difficulty with three lives, without continuing, as any character. The player then must defeat Ness in order to unlock him. | ||
Ness's special moves are based upon some of the various PK ('''P'''sycho'''k'''inesis) moves from ''EarthBound''. His neutral special is [[PK Fire]], which sends out a bolt of lightning that creates a pillar of fire when it hits. His up special is [[PK Thunder]], which sends out lightning to attack; Ness can also strike himself with the move to attack. His down special is [[PSI Magnet]], which can absorb projectiles to recover damage. None of these moves could actually be learned by Ness in ''EarthBound''; they are instead those of his supposed girlfriend, [[wikibound:Paula|Paula]] (although her trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' suggests that she taught him these moves). In addition, Ness uses a [[wikibound:Yo-yo|yo-yo]] for his up and down smash attacks and a [[wikibound:Baseball bat|baseball bat]] for his side smash attack, both of which are equipment in ''EarthBound''. | |||

Ness returns in | Ness returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. Here, he is a default character at the beginning of the game. Originally, Ness was to be replaced by [[Lucas]], the main protagonist of ''[[wikibound:Mother 3|Mother 3]]''. However, ''Mother 3'' turned out to be delayed until after ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' was released. As such, Ness was kept in to avoid confusion. | ||
Ness is given a new neutral special attack, [[PK Flash]], which is one of his original ''EarthBound'' attacks and lets him release a ball of energy that can be charged as it rises and lowers to eventually explode. This replaces PK Fire as his standard special move, instead making it his side special move. | |||

Ness | Ness returns again in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and is once again one of the hidden characters. He is unlocked if the player plays five Brawl matches, reflects 10 projectiles, or by recruiting Ness as a member of the party in The Subspace Emissary. When any of these requirements are met, the player will battle Ness, and by winning Ness becomes a playable character. | ||
Ness's moveset is exactly the same as it is in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. He is given a [[Final Smash]] which is shared with [[Lucas]]: [[PK Starstorm]], which sends meteors raining down on the stage to damage opponents. In ''EarthBound'', this move could only be learned by [[wikibound:Poo|Poo]], though like with Paula's trophy in the previous game Ness's Final Smash trophy suggests that he learned this move from Poo. | |||

Near the end of the game, [[Tabuu]] turns all characters into trophies. Meanwhile, Luigi and Ness are both turned back to life. This is because the badges that King Dedede put on them had the power to turn trophies back into living creatues but this didn't happen until a long time later. Ness and Luigi revive King Dedede (who is overjoyed that his plan worked out), and they go out together into Subspace itself where they turn [[Mario]], [[Donkey Kong]], [[Samus Aran|Samus]], [[Fox McCloud|Fox]], [[Pikachu]], [[Captain Falcon]], [[Marth]], [[Mr. Game & Watch]], [[Falco Lombardi|Falco]], [[Pit]], [[Captain Olimar|Olimar]], Lucas, [[Diddy Kong]], the [[Pokémon Trainer]], and [[Ike]] back into living creatures. Ness and Luigi also witness King Dedede's battle with [[Bowser]] and convince Wario about the truth of the situation.

Ness appears as an unlockable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'' | Ness appears as an unlockable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]''. He has a new voice set, but is still voiced by Makiko Ōmoto. In the Nintendo 3DS version, Ness is unlocked after either Classic Mode is completed twice or 10 matches are played, then by defeating Ness in a 1-stock match on the [[Magicant]] stage. In the Wii U version, Ness is a default character. | ||
Ness's base moveset is still unchanged, though half of his alternate special moves originate from [[Lucas]]'s variants of his special moves. In addition, PK Starstorm has been changed to be more concentrated rather than meteors falling across the stage. | |||
