Lucas's meteors instead spawn above Lucas, offset to the left and right, and will be angled such that they all cross through Lucas' position, and thus are angled inwards. The position that the meteors aim for can be moved both left and right, and up and down, and any spawned meteors will always cross through wherever the target position was when it was spawned, however the spawn position remains based on where Lucas is. In general, the player has more control over the path of Lucas' meteors than Ness'.

In general, the player has more control over the path of Lucas' meteors than Ness'.


In addition, Ness's meteors are larger, deals more damage and knockback, and he spawns two extra meteors ([[#Early meteors quirk|sometimes four]]) compared to Lucas, while Lucas's meteors are smaller and deals less damage and knockback, but the knockback sends at a more horizontal angle and, as stated above, the player generally has more control over his meteors. Ness also spawns meteors at a slightly faster rate, spawning one every 23 frames (0.38<span style="text-decoration:overline;">3</span> seconds) and decreasing by 0.5 frames (rounded up) with each meteor while Lucas spawns meteors every 24 frames (0.4 seconds) and decreasing by 0.2 frames (rounded up) with each meteor.

====Early meteors quirk====
====Early meteors quirk====
Ness's PK Starstorm has a strange quirk in ''Ultimate''. The first time the move is used in a match or Training session, the camera will first zoom in on Ness as he announces the move and then, upon returning to normal, meteors will begin to spawn. A total of 16 meteors will spawn. However, on all subsequent uses of the move within the same match or session, 2 meteors will spawn while the camera is zooming in on Ness. These early meteors spawn in addition to the 16 other meteors, bringing the total up to 18 and can be very difficult for opponents to see due to the zoom in. In matches with multiple Nesses, each Ness must use their own PK Starstorm once to trigger the effect, and one Ness using PK Starstorm will not trigger the effect for a different Ness. Because of this, Ness' PK Starstorm is more effective on subsequent uses in a match than it is the first time it is used.

Because of this, Ness' PK Starstorm is more effective on subsequent uses in a match than it is the first time it is used. It is currently unknown what causes this, or how many meteors the move is intended to summon.
 
Ness' and Lucas' PK Starstorms don't have a predefined number of meteors to spawn, instead they simply spawn meteors until the Final Smash ends (frames 51-357). This time frame and the meteor spawn rates results in Ness and Lucas spawning 16 and 14 meteors, respectively. However, this quirk causes Ness to spawn meteors from frames 1-357, giving enough time to theoretically spawn 20 meteors. The reason why 18 are spawned and not 20 is because, while there is no set number to spawn in the first place, there is a maximum number allowed to spawn&mdash;18 for Ness and 16 for Lucas. But why this early spawning occurs at all or why it only affects Ness is unknown.

This attack appeared in the [[EarthBound (universe)|Mother series]], but it was [[Poo]], not Ness, who wielded it. Perhaps Poo taught Ness the secret of the attack for use in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

|desc=In EarthBound, this PSI ability belonged to Poo, the Crown Prince of Dalaam and one of Ness's friends. Ness must have learned it especially for Smash Bros.! The attack makes a shower of meteors fall onto the stage, damaging any foes it hits. While the attack's in progress, Ness is invincible and can adjust the meteors' trajectory.
