'''Ness''' (ネス, ''Nesu'') is a character in SSBM and a secret character in SSB. Tierwise, he is towards the bottom. This is ironic because he was among the best in the original Smash Bros. He was originally going to be replaced by Lucas from ''[[Mother 3]]'', but the game wasn't released by the time Melee was completed.

"The key to mastering Ness is controlling his unique midair jump, which makes up for what he lacks in speed.

To do a lot of damage with PK Fire, try to burn your opponent as many times as possible."
