Ness (SSBU)

Ness (ネス, Ness) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He was confirmed on June 12th, 2018.

Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

Aesthetics

  • Change Many of Ness' PSI moves now has the on-screen PSI graphics from EarthBound.
  • Change Airdodge now has a different animation, similar to Melee.

Aerial Attacks

  • Change Up Air now has a new animation where he waves PSI with his hands in the air in a manner similar to Peach's up air. It deals good knockback.
  • Buff Neutral Air now has PSI emitting from his hands, similar to Zelda. This increases his range.
  • Buff Down air now has reduced endlag.

Throws/other attacks

  • Change Ness now grabs and holds his opponents and pummels them with PSI, mirroring Zelda's grab.
  • Nerf Ness' pummel is noticeably slower than his pummel in Smash 4.

Special moves

  • Buff Ness will no longer go on a free fall when emitting PK Flash in the air.
  • Buff PK Flash moves more quickly and travel much longer.
  • Change Ness poses differently when firing his PK Fire, pointing in the direction of the move instead. He also gets some slight pushback similar to Lucas from using it on the ground.
  • Nerf PK Fire has a slower start up.
  • Change PK Thunder now has an angle indicator when the ball of lighting comes close enough to Ness.
  • Change PSI Magnet now has the on-screen effect from EarthBound and visible suction around the outside of the magnet.
  • Buff PSI Magnet is now slightly larger and have a hitbox similar to Lucas'.
  • Change PK Starstorm is now similar to its Brawl iteration, firing meteors in a fan shape but significantly slower. Paula and Poo join Ness in his Final Smash, and PK Starstorm background effects from EarthBound also appear during the Smash.
