==Ness==

Ness' PK Fire has been the same through the entire [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Smash Bros.'' series]]. The angle at which Ness would shoot PK Fire would be horizontal, although angled down a bit, on the ground, while 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 dair spike, which will usually KO the opponent. Alternatively, the player may use d-throw after PK Fire, and if near the edge, finish with a dair spike. However, the opponent can easily DI the forward throw and avoid the dair. Still, when used in surprise, it can be an effective combo.

====Down Throw====

Ness's Down [[Throw]] in ''Melee'', ''Brawl'', and ''Smash 4'' 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.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', PK Fire can be swapped out for two different variations:

#'''PK Bonfire''': The ball of light doesn't travel as far, but the flame pillar sticks around longer.

#'''PK Fire Burst''': Releases a single flame when it hits and knocks opponents farther. It will always travel horizontally, even when used in the air similar to Lucas's variant of PK Fire.

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'' respectively.

In the description for the move in ''EarthBound'', it states that fire bursts from the player's fingertips onto a row of enemies. Also, when Ness and Lucas perform this attack, fire comes from their fingertips, which is how the move is described in ''EarthBound''.
