Editing PK Thunder

[[Image:Pkthunder.jpg|thumb|right|Lucas using PK Thunder midair.]]
The '''PK Thunder''' (Japanese: PK{{ja|サンダー}}, ''PK Sandaa'') is the [[Up Special Move]] for [[Ness]] and [[Lucas]].  When used, it creates a stream of lightning whose direction can be controlled using the control stick.  It does around 8% or more damage and has the interesting effect of knocking the opponent in a direction opposite that of the lighting's direction; in other words, the thunder knocks the opponent in the direction that it was coming from.  However, using the PK Thunder will result in Ness and Lucas not being able to move or defend, because the control stick is used to aim PK Thunder.

The PK Thunder has many interesting properties.  If the tail, rather than the head, of the PK Thunder hits the opponent, it will deal less damage and stun the opponent a little less, but also will continue flying around.  This is known as a ''tail whip''.  In Melee, if Ness is hit while using the PK Thunder, the thunder will cease to be in his control and will travel in a straight path until it expires.  In Brawl, the PK Thunder disappears immediately when Ness or Lucas are hit.

Ness' PK Thunder hits once and disappears if it hits an enemy, while Lucas' PK Thunder goes through enemies and can score multiple hits. It is interesting to note however, that the tail of Ness' PK Thunder is longer, and deals much more damage and stun than the tail of Lucas' PK Thunder. Ness' PK Thunder is also considerably faster than Lucas.

Since Lucas' PK Thunder does not disappear after hitting an opponent, it can chase the enemy around the stage. The nature of its knockback, however, prevents it from being a successful Wall of Pain because the enemy is pulled towards the projectile.  It is useful for [[gimp|gimping]] however.

In Melee, the uncontrolled thunder can hit anybody, not just Ness' opponents.  This means that one can actually use the PK Thunder as a barrier, using the tail to intentionally block oneself from flying off the screen after being hit. This is called a ''PK Thunder Barrier''.

The PK Thunder can also break [[Smash Ball]]s, making it useful to acquire a Final Smash if the Smash Ball is far away.

If Ness or Lucas hits himself with the PK Thunder, he will be launched as a human projectile. This tactic is known as the ''PK Thunder 2''.

=== Origin ===
While Ness and Lucas never learned PK Thunder in their games, it is learned by one of their party members; for Ness, his party member [[Paula]] could learn PK Thunder, while Lucas' party member, Kumatora, also learned PK Thunder.

[[Image:PKThunder2.jpg|thumb|right|Ness and Lucas using PK Thunder 2]]
"PK Thunder 2" is the term used for hitting Ness or Lucas with their own ''PK Thunder'' while it is still under their control. The Japanese developers called this move PK Jibaku (PK{{ja|自爆}}). The word jibaku means 'self-destruct' or 'suicide bomb,' a fitting term for a tactic that turns Ness and Lucas into human missiles.

This technique can be used by [[Ness]] and [[Lucas (SSBB)|Lucas]]. Doing so will transform Ness or Lucas into a human projectile, which will move in different directions depending on what part of the body is hit. If the Ness or Lucas makes contact with an enemy, he will deal a good amount of damage and knockback, although the SSB version is considerably stronger than the SSBM equivalent. Lucas's version of the attack hits multiple times, while Ness's deals one strong blow. Also if used up close, it can bring Ness to a short stop.

The ''PK Thunder 2'' is also Ness and Lucas' main method of recovery, given that it launches them fairly far in a straight direction. It is interesting to note that Lucas' PK Thunder 2 covers more ground than Ness', so Lucas' is slightly more effective. In addition, while performing PK Thunder 2, Ness's PK Thunder curves in a larger arch than Lucas, thus Lucas requires less room to use PK Thunder 2 than Ness. While using the move, the user will fall much slower. Unfortunately, using this in a pit makes it more difficult to guide the PK Thunder without striking the walls of the pit.

If Ness' PK Thunder 2 hits an opponent, it does 25% damage with extremely high knockback, KOing lighter characters at 30% or less. If all of Lucas' hits connect when using PK Thunder 2, it will deal a massive 43% damage and has decent knockback, making it one of Lucas' strongest moves, with the exception on PK Starstorm and his Up Smash.

CPUs playing as either [[Ness]] or [[Lucas]] are also programmed to use this strategy, but they only use PK Thunder 2 vertically, even in situations where it would be more effective to use PK Thunder 2 diagonally or horizontally.

== Trivia ==
*In the official Super Smash Bros. Brawl Prima strategy guide, it is incorrectly stated that Lucas' PK Thunder hit opponents once, and sends them flying, while Ness' PK Thunder, on the other hand, is able to hit opponents multiple times.

*In Giant Brawl, if Ness picks up a Super Mushroom and the enemy picks up a Poison Mushroom and Ness uses PK Thunder 2, it can do about 100% damage from a single hit and is nearly always a [[One-hit KO]].

*The speed of PK Thunder is not affected by a [[timer]].

*While PK Thunder is a controlled projectile in Brawl, in Earthbound and Mother 3, PK Thunder hits randomly without control.

-'''PK Thunder''' ({{ja|PKサンダー|Pīkei Sandā}}, ''PK Thunder'') is the [[up special move]] for [[Ness]] and [[Lucas]]. The move creates a stream of lightning consisting of two parts: a circular "head" which is controlled by the player using the [[control stick]] or [[d-pad]], and a "tail" which follows behind. As control stick and d-pad inputs are used to aim PK Thunder, Ness and Lucas are unable to move or defend while the move is active. PK Thunder can be aimed into opponents to deal damage with the head and stun with the tail.
+The PK Thunder has many interesting properties.  If the tail, rather than the head, of the PK Thunder hits the opponent, it will deal less damage and stun the opponent a little less, but also will continue flying around.  This is known as a ''tail whip''.  In Melee, if Ness is hit while using the PK Thunder, the thunder will cease to be in his control and will travel in a straight path until it expires.  In Brawl, the PK Thunder disappears immediately when Ness or Lucas are hit.
-Aiming the head into Ness and Lucas themselves will launch them in a trajectory opposite to the side they were hit on. This is referred to as ''PK Thunder Tackle'' or ''PK Thunder 2''. PK Thunder 2 is Ness and Lucas's main method of recovery and will damage any opponents that come into contact with them while in this state.
+Ness' PK Thunder hits once and disappears if it hits an enemy, while Lucas' PK Thunder goes through enemies and can score multiple hits. It is interesting to note however, that the tail of Ness' PK Thunder is longer, and deals much more damage and stun than the tail of Lucas' PK Thunder. Ness' PK Thunder is also considerably faster than Lucas.
-==Characters==
+Since Lucas' PK Thunder does not disappear after hitting an opponent, it can chase the enemy around the stage. The nature of its knockback, however, prevents it from being a successful Wall of Pain because the enemy is pulled towards the projectile.  It is useful for [[gimp|gimping]] however.

-[[File:Lucas SSB4 Screen-2.jpg|thumb|175px|{{SSB4|Lucas}} using PK Thunder in {{forwiiu}}]]
-===Similarities===
-PK Thunder's head has a direction of knockback 90 degrees clockwise in relation to the direction it's moving. Each side can hit a shield safely without it disappearing, and due to hitbox renewal (the attack can only hit once every 48 frames) it is possible for the attack to safely go through shields. The tail cannot be cancelled.
-===Ness===
+In Melee, the uncontrolled thunder can hit anybody, not just Ness' opponents.  This means that one can actually use the PK Thunder as a barrier, using the tail to intentionally block oneself from flying off the screen after being hit. This is called a ''PK Thunder Barrier''.
-Ness's version of PK Thunder has a more blueish coloring to it, and he hunches over when using it. The head of Ness's PK Thunder disappears upon contact with most attacks, walls, and characters. Impact deals 8% damage and knockback, and launches in the direction the opponent was hit, but can't launch downward.
-In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', PK Thunder does not disappear on contact with most attacks, as it is a laser projectile similar to Fox's [[Fox_(SSBM)/Neutral_special|blaster]].  In version 1.00 of Melee, an uncontrolled PK Thunder can hit opponents and Ness himself. This means the player can intentionally hit Ness with the tail of PK Thunder to block him from flying off the screen. This technique is called a '''PK Thunder Barrier'''. PK Thunder can also be used to perform the [[Electric Ness]] glitch, where sparks will continue to show around Ness even when PK Thunder is not active. This glitch serves no offensive or defensive purpose.
+The PK Thunder can also break [[Smash Ball]]s, making it useful to acquire a Final Smash if the Smash Ball is far away.
-In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', PK Thunder turns in a tighter circle than previous games, meaning it can be used to recover in narrower spaces.
+If Ness or Lucas hits himself with the PK Thunder, he will be launched as a human projectile. This tactic is known as the ''PK Thunder 2''.
-===Lucas===
-Lucas's version of PK Thunder has a more vibrant purple tint to it, and he strikes a different pose than Ness when using it. Additionally, the head of Lucas's PK Thunder goes through enemies and some objects, allowing it to score multiple hits. Each impact deals 9 to 10% of damage. Compared to Ness in ''Brawl'', Lucas's PK Thunder also moves more slowly, has a shorter tail which deals less stun, and turns in a tighter circle — the latter meaning it is more favourable for recovery in narrow spaces. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', its [[ending lag]] is also much higher when used on the ground. Ness's second PK Thunder variant in ''SSB4'' shares some similarities with this version.
-==PK Thunder 2==

+=== Origin ===
-[[File:Ness_Lucas_PK_Thunder_2.jpeg|thumb|Ness and Lucas using PK Thunder 2 in {{forwiiu}}.]]
+While Ness and Lucas never learned PK Thunder in their games, it is learned by one of their party members; for Ness, his party member [[Paula]] could learn PK Thunder, while Lucas' party member, Kumatora, also learned PK Thunder.
-'''PK Thunder 2''', or "PK Rocket", is the term used for hitting Ness or Lucas with their own PK Thunder while it is still under their control. The Japanese developers dubbed this move PK Jibaku (PK{{ja|自爆}}). The word jibaku means "self-destruct" or "suicide bomb", a fitting term for a tactic that turns Ness and Lucas into human missiles. Ness/Lucas will rocket in different directions depending on the angle the PK Thunder hit them at. If Ness/Lucas makes contact with an enemy, he will deal a good amount of damage and knockback. PK Thunder 2 is also Ness and Lucas's main method of recovery, given that it launches them fairly far in a straight direction. While using the move, the user will fall much slower. When PK Thunder 2 is aimed downwards towards the ground, Ness/Lucas will enter a lying position, facing downwards. In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', an arrow denotes the direction Ness/Lucas will move in upon initiating PK Thunder 2; [[Special Zoom]] also occurs if PK Thunder 2 successfully connects against an opponent.
-While it is a strong recovery move, it is also very linear and predictable. As the move causes [[helpless]]ness if it ends in mid-air, it is extremely susceptible to [[gimp]]s as the projectile produced by PK Thunder can be destroyed, [[Absorption|absorbed]], [[Reflection|reflected]], [[pocket]]ed, or blocked by the stage. CPUs playing as either Ness or Lucas are also programmed to use PK Thunder 2 to recover. Prior to ''Smash 4'' CPUs would only use PK Thunder 2 vertically, even in situations where only recovering horizontally or diagonally would prevent a KO.

The word jibaku means 'self-destruct' or 'suicide bomb,' a fitting term for a tactic that turns Ness and Lucas into human missiles.
-In ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'', if Ness or Lucas hit a wall during PK Thunder 2, they can use the move again in midair, but only during the moment between hitting the wall and entering their helpless animations. They can only do this once; hitting a wall again with the second PK Thunder without touching the ground or grabbing the ledge will result in immediate helplessness.
+This technique can be used by [[Ness]] and [[Lucas (SSBB)|Lucas]]. Doing so will transform Ness or Lucas into a human projectile, which will move in different directions depending on what part of the body is hit. If the Ness or Lucas makes contact with an enemy, he will deal a good amount of damage and knockback, although the SSB version is considerably stronger than the SSBM equivalent. Lucas's version of the attack hits multiple times, while Ness's deals one strong blow. Also if used up close, it can bring Ness to a short stop.
-===Ness's version===
+The ''PK Thunder 2'' is also Ness and Lucas' main method of recovery, given that it launches them fairly far in a straight direction. It is interesting to note that Lucas' PK Thunder 2 covers more ground than Ness', so Lucas' is slightly more effective. In addition, while performing PK Thunder 2, Ness's PK Thunder curves in a larger arch than Lucas, thus Lucas requires less room to use PK Thunder 2 than Ness. While using the move, the user will fall much slower. Unfortunately, using this in a pit makes it more difficult to guide the PK Thunder without striking the walls of the pit.
-Ness's version of PK Thunder 2 deals one strong blow. If used up close in ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'', it can bring Ness to a short stop. If Ness' PK Thunder 2 hits an opponent, it does 25% damage with extremely high knockback, KOing opponents at 75% in ''Melee'', 50% in ''Brawl'', and 30% in ''Smash 4''. The distance of PK Thunder 2 can be shortened by angling it into the environment. If Ness hits a wall while flying, he'll bounce off of it as his flight direction is changed.
-Ness' PK Thunder curves in a larger arc than Lucas, so Lucas requires less room to use PK Thunder 2 than Ness. However, Ness' PK Thunder is faster.
+If Ness' PK Thunder 2 hits an opponent, it does 25% damage with extremely high knockback, KOing lighter characters at 30% or less. If all of Lucas' hits connect when using PK Thunder 2, it will deal a massive 43% damage and has decent knockback, making it one of Lucas' strongest moves, with the exception on PK Starstorm and his Up Smash.
-===Lucas's version===
+CPUs playing as either [[Ness]] or [[Lucas]] are also programmed to use this strategy, but they only use PK Thunder 2 vertically, even in situations where it would be more effective to use PK Thunder 2 diagonally or horizontally.
-Lucas's version of the attack hits multiple times, compared to Ness's one strong blow. It is interesting to note that Lucas's PK Thunder 2 covers more ground than Ness's, so Lucas's is slightly more effective when recovering. If all of Lucas's hits connect when using PK Thunder 2, it will deal a massive 43% damage in Brawl, 35.5% in Smash 4 and 32.5% in Ultimate with high knockback, making it Lucas' most damage-dealing move, with the exception of [[PK Starstorm]], which cannot be used in competitive play. However, it is very hard to get full damage, as PK Thunder 2 takes very long to start and as such, is easily dodgeable. For tactical uses, Lucas's PK Thunder 2 can be used to "Thunderglide". Thundergliding is when the player runs off a platform then immediately uses PK Thunder. The effect should come out to being the PK Thunder being much closer to Lucas than normal. Then, guide the thunder into Lucas and he should angle down towards the ground. If performed right, Lucas's direction will go from diagonal to horizontal as he glides along the ground. Otherwise, he'll crash into the ground like a normal poorly aimed thunder. Lucas will stop at the edge on his own, making this move safe to use on a stage like Battlefield. It should also be noted that on stages like {{SSBB|Battlefield}} or {{SSBB|Final Destination}} if Lucas's PK Thunder 2 is aimed wrong, the user will bounce right off the corner of the stage, leaving him in a helpless animation away from the ledge.

+*In Giant Brawl, if Ness picks up a Super Mushroom and the enemy picks up a Poison Mushroom and Ness uses PK Thunder 2, it can do about 100% damage from a single hit and is nearly always a [[One-hit KO]].
-Special Move customization was added in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. These are the variations:
-===Ness===
-{{CustomSet|Ness|Up|name1=PK Thunder|desc1=Fires a steerable ball of lightning.

-# '''PK Thunder''': Default.
-# '''Lasting PK Thunder''': Doesn't disappear upon hitting an enemy, making it better suited for recoveries. This variation is slower, but has better control, similar to Lucas's version, except using this custom to initiate PK Thunder 2 means it only does about 25% damage — the same damage as the regular variant — compared to Lucas's PK Thunder 2 which can do up to 43% damage (however, they deal the same knockback). It is also of a dark indigo color, similar to Ness's PK Thunder in ''Brawl''.
-# '''Rolling PK Thunder''': Has more power, but the lightning ball doesn't move as fast. Using PK Thunder 2 with this custom will also severely decrease the distance Ness travels, but deals more damage (25% → 30%). However, due to reduced base knockback, the KO percent is overall similar. Compared to the regular PK Thunder, it is a mint green color.
-===Lucas===
+*The speed of PK Thunder is not affected by a [[timer]].
-{{CustomSet/Single|Lucas|Up|name=PK Thunder|desc={{Flag|North America}} Fire a steerable ball of lightning. Hit yourself with it to go flying.<br/>{{Flag|Europe}} Looses a ball of lightning you control. If it hits you, it can be used for recovery or a charging attack.}}
-# '''PK Thunder''': Default.
-Like the other DLC characters, Lucas has no custom move variations.
-==Origin==
+*While PK Thunder is a controlled projectile in Brawl, in Earthbound and Mother 3, PK Thunder hits randomly without control.
-[[File:PKThunder.gif|thumb|Kumatora using PK Thunder α in ''Mother 3''.]]
-PK Thunder (localized as PSI Thunder in ''{{b|EarthBound|game}}'') has appeared in all three {{uv|Mother}} games, where psychic power is used to send lightning at the enemy. In ''Earthbound'' and ''Mother 3'', the move functions by damaging a random opponent, with a probability of missing altogether. Higher level versions of the move will fire multiple lightning blasts, each with an independent, randomized target. However, in the ''Mother'' series, neither Ness nor Lucas learn the move; instead it is learned by some of their friends and party members, {{s|wikibound|Paula}} and {{s|wikibound|Poo}} in ''EarthBound'' and {{s|wikibound|Kumatora}} in ''Mother 3'' respectively.
-The move's description in ''EarthBound'' states that the user could miss the target and not cause any damage to the enemy. The difficulty of using PK Thunder in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' games could be a reference to how PK Thunder can sometimes miss enemies in ''EarthBound''. The move's recovery properties are somewhat similar to [[wikibound:Teleport|Teleport α]], where the party's speed is increased greatly, to the point of being difficult to control, and explode if they hit a solid object before covering sufficient ground to warp.

-==Trivia==
+{{Ness Special Moves}}
-*PK Thunder and [[Mach Tornado]] are the only moves that still have special animations when a boss is defeated (sparkling for PK Thunder and spinning for Mach Tornado).
-*If a character uses certain movement-inducing [[special move|special attack]]s right after being hit by {{SSBB|Lucas}}'s PK Thunder, they will move a larger distance than usual. Notable cases include {{SSBB|Bowser}}'s [[Whirling Fortress]].
-*In ''Smash 64'', this move can be used to initiate the game-crashing [[PK thunder freeze glitch]].
-*In '' Super Smash Bros. Melee'', only a level 9 Ness CPU will regularly use PK Thunder to recover. Level 8 and below will rarely ever use PK Thunder to recover.
-*In ''Melee'', if Ness uses PK Thunder and gets attacked while performing it (unless the attack does not cause flinching), he will be covered in electrical sparks. This has been dubbed the [[Ness (SSBM)#Electric Ness glitch|Electric Ness glitch]].
-*In ''Brawl'', higher level CPUs of Ness and Lucas will use PK Thunder 2 to attack during matches — this can happen sometimes even at the start of a match. CPUs of these levels will also seldom use PK Thunder other than for recovery and aforementioned action. However, this is somewhat rare (especially for a level 9 CPU), and they will only do this when at the correct distance from another fighter.
-*In ''Brawl'', if PK Thunder is spammed when Ness or Lucas are directly on top of a orange or green spring within a [[custom stage]], he can [[stall]] inside of the spring for short periods of time. After a short amount of time, however, he will bounce out of the spring as normal. This also works with [[PK Flash]].
