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 As with all veterans returning from SSB4, Ness's model features a more subdued color scheme. As a result, his color scheme now more closely resembles his in-game sprite rather than his clay model like previous games. Similar to Brawl, some of the detailing on his clothes and weapons are more prominent, such as the vertical stitching of his socks. Ness's model otherwise appears unchanged.
  • Change Like many other characters, Ness faces the screen more often than he did in the previous games.
  • Change The text on Ness' yo-yo now reads "SUPER NINTENDO 2018 MOTHER" and has trailing aftereffects when in motion.
  • Change Many of Ness' PSI moves now have their respective PSI graphics from EarthBound.
  • Change Ness no longer swings his arms in his idle animation.
  • Change Ness's Airdodge now resembles its Melee iteration more closely.

Attributes

Ground Attacks

  • Buff Jab now connects more reliably.
  • Buff Ness Up Smash have more knockback, now killing opponents more reliably.

Aerial Attacks

  • Change Ness now waves his hands and emits PSI in the air in his Up Air, in a manner similar to Peach's up air. It deals good knockback.
    • Change This attack now has multi-hit properties, and produces a magic effect.
  • Buff Up Air now deals more damage.
  • Buff Fair deals more damage (7% --> 7.6%).
  • Buff PSI now emits from Ness's hands in his Neutral Air, similar to Zelda's magic. This increases his range.
  • Buff His neutral air now have more damage (11% --> 12.7%).
    • Change It also uses a different sound effect.
  • Buff Back air now deals more damage.
  • 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.
    • Change Magic sounds and visual effects accompany the pummel instead of normal pummel effects.
  • Buff Ness back throw is stronger.
  • Buff Down throw now deals slightly more damage 7% --> 7.3%.
  • Nerf Knockback on down throw is stronger, reducing his chance of doing combo setups.
  • Change Ness' down throw uses the PK Fire effect from EarthBound.
  • Nerf Ness' pummel is noticeably slower.

Special moves

  • Buff Ness no longer free falls after using PK Flash in the air.
  • Buff PK Flash moves more quickly and travels much longer.
  • Change Ness poses differently when using PK Fire, pointing in the direction of the move instead. He also gets some slight pushback, similar to Lucas's pushback after using it on the ground.
    • Change Ness leaves a red spark on his shooting hand until he fires PK Fire, similar to the effect in Lucas' down smash.
  • Nerf PK Fire starts up more slowly.
  • Buff PK Fire hitbox is larger.
  • Change PK Thunder now has an angle indicator to indicate Ness's PK Thunder 2 trajectory when the ball of lighting travels close enough to him.
  • Nerf PK Thunder 2 knockback has been greatly reduced.
  • 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, with a hitbox similar to Lucas's version of the move.
  • Change PK Starstorm is now similar to its Brawl iteration, firing slower meteors that spread out over the stage. Paula and Poo join Ness in his Final Smash, and PK Starstorm background effects from EarthBound also appear during the Smash.
