Attributes

Changes from Melee to PM

• Ness can double jump cancel again, though it is now optional; just pressing and then releasing the jump button when attacking will cause him to DJC, while holding the jump button causes him to perform a rising aerial, just like characters who cannot use this technique. Special moves will always DJC.
• Midair jump speed increased.
• Up aerial and the sweetspot of back aerial were given more KO power.
• Down aerial reverted to Smash 64 speed, which almost removes its startup lag entirely.
• Up smash is much faster and deals better damage and knockback, being more reliable at juggling and KOing.
• Down smash also deals better damage and knockback, serving as a powerful on-stage edge-guarding tool.
• Both up and down smashes can now be held even when near an edge.
• PK Fire's flame effect activates even on shields, and it has Brawl power. It also keeps forward momentum when used on mid-air.
• PK Thunder 2 travels much farther and keeps its hitbox throughout the move.
• Ness can jump out of PSI Magnet, similar to with Reflector. When absorbing a projectile, he can also cancel the move to go into the ending animation afterwards, preventing rapid-fire projectiles such as Fox's Blaster from trapping him into the move indefinitely.
• PSI Magnet can now deal damage consecutively; it has a center hitbox that inflicts 4% damage with diagonal knockback, and others at the "outlines" that deal 2% with no knockback and can turn idle foes around.
• Yoyo glitch no longer exists.
• Down tilt now has a more vertical angle, removing its infinite capacities.
• PK Flash has a smaller range, but it moves faster and farther.
• Forward smash's sourspot produces the "wooden bat" SFX from Brawl, while sweetspot displays a ping sound like in Melee and Smash 64.
• Revamped on-screen appearance: the vortex of Teleport now appears as well, similar to in Melee's opening.
• Ness now has a secret taunt: he poses at the screen and a "photo" flash is displayed, based on the iconic Fuzzy Pickles moments in his origin game, Earthbound.
