Lucas's aerial PK Fire.

PK Fire (called PSI Fire in the English version of Earthbound) is a special move that can be performed by both Ness and Lucas in their respective Smash games. It is a projectile attack performed with Forward B. When performed on the ground, a bolt travels in a straight line until it hits an enemy or destructible portion of the stage. If it does not hit either of the aforementioned objects within a few feet, then it disappears. If the attack hits an airborne target, the pillar of fire falls downwards.

Lucas's version of this attack shares differences from Ness's version. Lucas' PK Fire always travels horizontally. When the bolt hits an opponent, it hits once, and deals fair knockback to the enemy. When Lucas' PK Fire and a double jump is executed at the same time, Lucas gains a huge vertical boost. In all games of the Smash series, Ness's PK Fire explodes into a pillar of fire that hits an enemy multiple times, which can lead to potential combos while the enemy is stunned. Ness can also fire his PK Fire diagonally downwards if he uses this attack in the air.

In Earthbound, the attack is actually not learned by Ness (something Paula's Trophy in Melee explains). It is described as a wave of fire shot from the fingers and is capable of damaging rows of enemies.
