==Ness==

Ness' PK Fire has been the same through the entire [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Smash Bros.'' series]]. Ness's PK Fire travels forward at an angle on the ground, while travelling diagonally downwards if used in mid-air. If Ness' PK Fire hits, it explodes into a stationary pillar of fire that hits his enemies several times. In mid-air, however, it falls down slowly until it hits the ground or dissipates. [[Directional Influence|DI]] is not very effective against it, allowing Ness to combo his opponent or use one of his finishers while the enemy is stunned. Ness can use this move in conjunction with his second jump to perform the [[Zap Jump#PK Jump|PK Jump]], which slightly boosts the air speed of his second jump at the expense of height, giving him a slightly better approach. The main difference is the damage within the games and the lag/speed of the move. It does overall the most damage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', followed by ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', and then followed by ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.  

This is a simple combo often used for [[gimping]]. This is best done near a ledge. First the player must use Ness' PK Fire on an opponent. Then they must follow up with a forward throw, which will knock them off the edge. From here, they can use Ness' down aerial meteor smash, which will usually KO the opponent. Alternatively, the player may use d-throw after PK Fire, and if near the edge, finish with a down aerial. However, the opponent can easily DI the forward throw and avoid the down aerial. Still, when used in surprise, it can be an effective combo.

====Down Throw====

Ness's [[down throw]] in ''Melee'', ''Brawl'', ''Smash 4'', and ''Ultimate'' also involves PK Fire. Ness will throw his opponent to the ground, and then burn them with a scaled down PK Fire. In ''Melee'', this will deal 8% damage overall, while in ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'', this will hit with 5 blasts of [[Flame]], dealing 1% damage each, and then the opponent will take one final blast, dealing 4% damage, making a total of 9% damage overall.

==Lucas==

In all of Lucas's Smash Bros. appearances since ''Brawl'', his PK Fire always travels horizontally, regardless of whether or not he is in the air. When the bolt hits an opponent, it explodes into a horizontal burst, hitting once, and dealing fair knockback to the enemy. The horizontal burst has good range, and can damage others in the way of the burst, although it deals very little knockback. Lucas' PK Fire has many interesting properties, such as pushing him back with a set force after shooting the bolt. Because of these, Lucas can use his PK Fire in ''Brawl'' to perform the [[Zapjump]], the [[Wavebounce]], or, an extension of the Wavebounce, the [[Magnet Pull]], making this one of Lucas' most varied moves.

PK Fire (localized as PSI Fire in ''{{b|EarthBound|game}}'') first appeared in ''{{iw|wikibound|Mother|video game}}'' and has appeared in later {{uv|Mother}} games since. In all three of the ''Mother'' games, the move involved using the character's psychic power to send fire at the enemy. However, in the ''Mother'' series, neither Ness nor Lucas learn the move; instead it is learned by one of their friends and party members, {{s|wikibound|Paula}} in ''EarthBound'' and {{s|wikibound|Kumatora}} in ''Mother 3''.

 

Ness' PK Fire animation is similar to {{iw|wikirby|Master Green}} from ''Kirby's Dreamland 2'', and the Z Spark it produces is the same as the one used in the game.
