| '''Ness''' ({{ja|ネス|Nesu}}, ''Ness'') returns as a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. Ness was officially confirmed on October 3rd, 2014 alongside {{SSB4|Falco}} and {{SSB4|Wario}}, but was [[Leak#ESRB leak|leaked beforehand]] on September 11th by a leaker's Twitch stream.
| |
|
| |
|
| As in every previous ''Smash'' installation, Ness is voiced by Makiko Omoto, who recorded new voice clips for the game.
| |
|
| |
| ==How to unlock==
| |
| Complete one of the following:
| |
| * Play 10 VS Matches.
| |
| * Clear [[Classic Mode]] on any difficulty.
| |
| After completing one of the two methods, Ness must then be defeated on [[Magicant]].
| |
|
| |
| In {{forwiiu}}, Ness is a starter character.
| |
|
| |
| ==Changes from ''Brawl''==
| |
| Ness has been greatly buffed from ''Brawl'', with the most notable improvement being that his 10 extra frame grab release animation, which was one of his most significant flaws, has been removed.
| |
|
| |
| *{{buff|Ness has overall greater speed.}}
| |
| *{{buff|[[Dash attack]] and [[forward aerial]] are stronger.}}
| |
| *{{buff|Yo-yo smashes ([[down smash]] and [[up smash]]) now deal properly-increased damage when charged, can be charged while near the edge and are now K.O. moves at 100% for down smash and 120% for up smash. Additionally, the former now has a sourspot which deals 1% damage at the rope of the yo-yo that links to the yo-yo hitbox.}}
| |
| *{{buff|[[Neutral air]] deals more damage.}}
| |
| *{{buff|Ness no longer has an extra 10 frames of lag from being grab released, bringing him in line with everyone else.}}
| |
| *{{buff|[[PK Flash]] travels faster.}}
| |
| *{{buff|[[PK Fire]] travels much farther.}}
| |
| *{{buff|[[PK Thunder]] travels faster, is less laggy, has a larger hitbox, travels in a drastically tighter radius and can go through enemies during the beginning of the attack. [[PK Thunder 2]] also has much greater knockback and is faster.}}
| |
| *{{buff|[[PSI Magnet]] has less ending lag and is larger, increasing its range.}}
| |
| *{{buff|Forward smash can now be pivot-cancelled.}}
| |
| *{{buff|Up tilt and down aerial now have PK sparks added to them, increasing range.}}
| |
| *{{nerf|Yo-yo smashes are charged while still in Ness's hand, removing the pre-charge hitbox.}}
| |
| *{{nerf|Down aerial has less base knockback, and its meteor smash hitbox has been shortened to a 1 frame window, making the attack harder to hit with.}}
| |
| *{{nerf|Forward aerial deals less damage and has a smaller hitbox.}}
| |
| *{{change|PK Thunder and PSI Magnet are now light blue like in Melee.}}
| |
| *{{change|PK Flash is a much darker green and travels further in the direction behind Ness.}}
| |
| *{{change|PK Fire's effect after hitting an opponent produces darker colored flames, and produces more smoke.}}
| |
| *{{change|Dash attack has more intense lighting effects.}}
| |
| *{{change|[[Up tilt]] changed to its ''SSB64'' animation.}}
| |
| *{{change|Down aerial has an extra spin in its animation.}}
| |
| *{{change|[[PK Starstorm]] now fires a thin, aimable line of meteors from the top-center of the stage (similar to [[Aura Storm]]). This leaves it with blind spots but deals more reliable damage when it does hit.}}
| |
| *{{change|His yo-yo is colored green instead of yellow.}}
| |
| *{{change|Down throw has PSI graphics added to its fire graphics, similarily to Zelda's down throw.}}
| |
|
| |
| His appearance is different from his other ''Smash Bros.'' appearances, being overall thinner, especially in the face, and the colors of all of his clothing items being much more brightly colored, like in his original game. The brighter colors also go with the rest of the characters' new looks. His face is also missing the slight pink blushes he had in past games. His head is also smaller and more proportional. His shirt is missing a yellow stripe at the bottom that had been present in the previous games, although it was also missing in ''[[Melee]]'''s opening animation.
| |
|
| |
| ==Update history==
| |
|
| |
| '''{{GameIcon|ssb4-3ds}} 1.0.4'''
| |
| *{{nerf|Ending lag of PK Thunder 2 is increased}}
| |
| *{{nerf|Down throw damage reduced from 9% to 7%.}}

| |
| :'''Ness'''
| |
| :''Hailing from Onett, a small town in Eagleland, this young boy's ordinary looks hide his psychic powers. Ness fought against the evil Giygas in Earthbound, and in Smash Bros. he unleashes some of the same PSI moves. Watch out for PK Thunder, a guided attack that can also launch Ness like a rocket!''
| |
|
| |
| :'''Ness (Alt.)'''
| |
| :''Ness may have psychic powers, but that doesn't mean he shies away from getting physical. His side smash packs a real punch if you hit enemies with the end of his bat, and it can even deflect projectiles! His up and down smashes also have a lot of range-Ness can land his strikes with ease!''

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *Many of his alternate special moves are similar, if not identical, to [[Lucas (SSBB)|Lucas's]] special moves from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]].''
| |
| ** Because Ness possesses PK Freeze, he's the only character besides {{SSB4|Palutena}} to have a sound clip unique to a custom move.
| |
| *Ness's amiibo description in the North American website of the amiibo is the same as his trophy description in ''Melee''.
