Among many weapons, Ness is skilled in wielding slingshots, yo-yos, and most famous of all, his signature baseball bat. Ness is also a master of the psychic powers called PSI, and knows attacks like [[PK Flash]], PSI Rockin', PSI Shield, Lifeup, Healing, Hypnosis, Paralysis and Teleport. Paula and Poo's moves ([[PK Fire]], [[PK Thunder]], [[PSI Magnet]], and [[PK Starstorm]]) would be borrowed by Ness for combat in the [[Super Smash Bros. (universe)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]].

Ness returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', though this time 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 (game)|EarthBound]]''. PK Fire was also changed to Ness's B + Forward.

He keeps all of his special moves and, as all other veterans, gains a fourth one: [[PK Flash]], which is assigned as his neutral special move. PK Flash is Ness's first "true" special attack, as his other two offensive moves were not used by him in ''[[EarthBound (game)|EarthBound]]''. PK Fire was also changed to Ness's B + Forward.


During the development of ''Melee'', Ness was intended to be removed and replaced by [[Lucas]]; the eventual delay and cancellation of EarthBound 64, however, caused Ness to stay in the game.

Ness was [[Nerf|nerfed]] from ''Smash 64'' to ''Melee'', similar to {{SSBM|Kirby}} and {{SSBM|Pikachu}}. He is ranked 23rd on the [[tier list]] in F tier.

On January 20, 2008, Edible, a [[GameFAQs]] member, made a topic in the site's Brawl message board about an official trailer on the Japanese Wii website that leaked Ness (as well as {{SSBB|Lucario}} and {{SSBB|Jigglypuff}}) being playable characters in the game. In [http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/3259/iup542612bd3.jpg this screenshot] taken of the video, a Ness icon can clearly be seen in the lower right hand corner when the Claus sticker is selected, confirming Ness's return in playable form. The video in question can be viewed [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfuGSKXA20w here].

*While Ness' game (''EarthBound'') was released in North America and takes place in a stand-in for America, his in-game voice in SSB, Melee and Brawl speaks with a Japanese accent, whereas Lucas, whose game (''[[Mother 3]]'') was released only in Japan, speaks using an American accent.

*Ness's "Okay" taunt is based on the voice at the beginning of EarthBound saying "Ok desu ka" (Which roughly translates to: Is this okay?) when the player gives a name to a character. Shigesato Itoi apparently provided this quote for EarthBound without realizing it.
