Super Smash Bros. Brawl/Ness

Ness

Ness needs to be unlocked.

Ness is the 13-year-old psychic boy who is the hero of EarthBound on the SNES. Although he is small, he can be lethal when used correctly. Especially his PK lightning. Aim the PK lightning to ness and blast him through enemies. This attack will kill anyone who is 50%+ it is much harder to control than lucas's. His PK Flash is used for people who are caught off guard and people who are falling down. It also finishes people who are 50%+ in other words, great for 2 on 2.

Standard Attacks

Wii Remote + Nunchuk	Wii Remote (sideways)	Wii Classic Controller	GameCube Controller	Attack	Info
				Basic Combo	Damage:3%,2%,4% Total Damage:9% Urgency:Low Punches two times and then kicks. Low knockback makes this not very good, but it's fine for a quick 9%. You can gab lock with this moves first punch, but it is difficult to set up and keep it going.
+	+	+	+	Side Kick	Damage:10% for low,11% for normal,12% for high Urgency:Medium Kicks out in front of him. Can be angled. It does more damage than the neutral A attack, so it is a better choice.
+	+	+	+	Volley	Damage:7% Urgency:Low Thrusts his hands upwards. This move can be used to juggle opponents at low damage.
+	+	+	+	Fast Kick	Damage:4% Urgency:Low Kicks while crouching. This move is very fast and causes tripping. Basically Ness's equivalent to an infinite combo, but you have to keep pressing it instead. Best if you can pin an opponent on a wall with this. Easily Ness's fasted move.
while dashing	while dashing	while dashing	while dashing	PSI Blast	Damage:5%,4%,4% Urgency:Low Shoots PSI from his palm. Although its range is better than just using the up smash in a dash, it is usually better to use the up smash in a dash, as the up smash has a larger hitbox and more damage than this.
				Edge Kick/Edge Punch	Damage:Bold text below 100% damage,10% above 100%. Urgency:Low Ness gets up from the edge of a stage and kicks if below 100%, but punches if above 100%. Usually better to jump off the ledge into an aerial.

Smash Attacks

Ness's up and down smash's charge is unique as its only to hold the attack out longer and doesn't increase its damage and knockback.

+	+	+	+	PK Fire	Shoots a beam that bursts into a pillar of flames when it hits an enemy. Unlike Lucas's PK Fire, if Ness uses in in midair it will travel diagonally downwards. If it hits in midair, the flame will also travel slowly downwards.

	+			He finally swings his finger around, making PK sparks.

Final Smash

PK Starstorm

PK Starstorm: Ness's final smash is similar to Lucas's but with blue stars instead of yellow ones. Also, the stars come down in more of a fan-shaped pattern. It is most successful on smaller stages. However, in large stages such as New Pork City, Ness's final smash could be easily avoided in combat. Also note that Ness's final smash is stronger than Lucas's, but inaccurate.

Match-Ups

Bowser

Bowser is slow but can deal a lot of damage. An easy way to rack up damage is to jump nice and high then use PK Thunder. If this hits then Bowser is stunned for a bit allowing you to fall down then jump up and repeat the process. Try and stay away from Bowser as his Fire Breath can be absorbed by PSI Magnet, so he has no ranged attacks.

Ike

Ike is a slightly harder version of Bowser because:

• None of his attacks can be absorbed by PSI Magnet.
• He is a lot faster than Bowser.

Use the same strategy to rack up damage as you did for Bowser, but you will probably have to do a bit more air-navigating. This is a hard fight.

Mario

Mario is quite fast, but can have some weak attacks. PK Thunder is not much use here as Mario can use Cape to deflect it, so don't be afraid to get up close and engage in close-range combat. You can also absorb Fireball with PSI Magnet.
