'''Ness''' (ネス, ''Nesu'') is the main character of the cult-hit RPG ''[[EarthBound]]'', the most popular and successful game in the ''Mother'' franchise.  He appears as the sole representative of both the game and the series in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.


See '''[[Ness (SSB)]]''', '''[[Ness (SSBM)]]''', and '''[[Ness (SSBB)]]''' for fighter info.

==Character description==
'''Ness''' was first introduced in the Mother/Earthbound series.  Ness is from [[Onett]].  He has been in both Super Smash Bros. games.  Ness has been confirmed in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] since a recent Japanese Brawl commercial [[Nintendo]] revealed that both [[Lucas (SSBB)|Lucas]] and Ness can wield a Claus sticker, and the offical site has listed him as a Secret Fighter.
Ness is a young boy from the fictional town of Onett.  He possesses strong psychic powers and utilizes his abilities to defeat an evil monster known as Gigyas.


==In ''Super Smash Bros.''==
In combat, Ness powers are the same as Lucas's with differences and uses a baseball bat and a yo-yo he has as weapons. He also has a psychic mind that has the ability to learn special PK powers.

Ness was a bit of surprise addition to the roster for the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''.  Many players had never expected such an obscure character to turn up in the game, which seems to be reflected in-game as he is a secret character, unlocked by completing the 1P Game on a difficulty of Normal or higher, with three lives or less and using no continues.  Strangely, only one of Ness' special moves, the [[PSI Magnet]] (B), is one of his own; his other attacks, [[PK Fire]] and [[PK Thunder]], B and B + Up, respectively, were originally used by ally Paula in ''[[EarthBound]]''.  A possible explanation for this discrepancy is offered in the sequel to this game, ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. Which stats that Paula may have taught him these Techniques


He is widely considered to be one of the best characters in the game, although quite hard to master.
He was the first Hidden Character Dojo posted.

Ness returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' as a default character.  He keeps all of his special moves and, as all other veterans, gains a fourth one: [[PK Flash]], which is assigned as his B attack.  PK Flash is Ness's first "true" special attack, as his other two offensive moves were not used by him in ''[[EarthBound]]''.  PK Fire is now Ness' B + Forward. 


Unlike [[Captain Falcon]], who also made the transition from unlockable to default without being affected much, Ness appears to have been "nerfed"; that is, his fighting ability has been decreased, making him a much lower-quality character, much to the dismay of Ness fans.
==Final Smash==

Ness' [[Final Smash]] is [[PK Starstorm]]. It differs on a few things when compared to [[Lucas]]' [[PK Starstorm]], mainly the color and direction of the blasts.

==Availability==
When Lucas's Special Moves were profiled on the Dojo, there was much conspiracy that Ness will be cut, due to the fact that Lucas has similar moves to Ness and due to a general consensus that there will be no clones in Brawl.  
Ness is a default character in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]].  In [[Super Smash Bros.]], he must be unlocked.


On January 20, 2008, Edible, a [[GameFAQs]] member, made a topic on the site's Brawl message board about an official trailer on the Japanese Wii website that apparently confirmed Ness (as well as Lucario and [[Jigglypuff]]) as playable characters in the game.  In [http://img341.imageshack.us/my.php?image=iup542612bd3.jpg this screenshot] taken of the video, a Ness icon can clearly be seen in the lower right hand corner, suggesting that Ness is returning in playable form.  The video in question can be viewed [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfuGSKXA20w here].
==Unlocking==
To unlock Ness in Super Smash Bros Brawl, one must complete the following:
*Play 5 matches in Brawl
*Reflect 10 projectiles
*Get Ness to join your party in The Subspace Emissary
After completing the former two of the above method, one must face Ness in a one-on-one brawl. Defeating him will make him a playable character.


The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRBsajRrnY8 recently leaked intro] for ''Brawl'' features Ness, reaffirming the fact that he is playable.
