Ness, otherwise known as the PSI Powerhouse, is making his fourth appearance in the Smash series. He was one of the four unlockable characters in the original game. His unique ability to absorb certain moves and recover damage makes Ness a good character. However, in Brawl, a similar character named Lucas was introduced. He also had the ability to use PSI Magnet, so Ness lost some of his uniqueness. However, Lucas was cut from Smash 4, only to be unlocked by DLC. I will be analyzing Ness’s first set of special moves.
His neutral special is PK Flash. This move is powerful but punishable. This move does at least 9% damage and at most 37% damage. It can be absorbed, though.
His side special is PK Fire. This move deals multiple hits but can be pocketed, reflected, or absorbed. When fired in the air, it shoots diagonally downwards. On the ground, it is fired straight.
His up special is PK Thunder. This move is also powerful but punishable. You can use the bolt to damage opponents, or hit yourself for no damage to fly into them. This move is Ness’s only recovery. If you lose the thunder or fire in the wrong direction, you’re done for.
His down special is PSI Magnet. This move absorbs certain moves. Credits go to fyazkoSSB.
