Background

Ness is a young boy who lives in Onett. Ness has also mastered PSI Powers which he uses to attack and defend himself. When Giygas appears he starts to go out on his journey to uncover The 8 Melodies. He is accompanied by his friends Paula, Jeff, Poo, and Mr.Saturn

Super Smash Bros.

“Ness was a seemingly average kid on Onett, but in truth, he was destined for much more. When a strange meteorite landed near his hometown, the little boy with psychic powers set out to save the world. Little has been said of Ness’s character, and much remains hidden. Ness’s main strength is the power of his psychic attacks. His weakness is that his melee attacks lack power, making his close range game not nearly as good as long range.”

Super Smash Bros. Melee

Ness was once just an ordinary boy from Onett, but is nowadays known for his psychic abilities and prowess with a yo-yo. Sporting his trademark backpack and sports cap, Ness appears in Melee as a decidedly difficult character to use. With one of the more unique and diverse special movesets in the game, Ness can be tough to pick up for beginners, but can still surprise opponents who underestimate his power.

Role in SSE

Ness is first seen in the Ruined Zoo after saving Lucas from the King P. Statue. He would beat Porky Minch in a battle and fall victim to Wario's trophy gun after saving Lucas. His trophy would then be taken from King Dedede were he would put a brooch on him to revive him later and revive King Dedede himself to fight Tabuu.

Ness is a fairly good player if used right. Although Ness was possibly the best character in the original Super Smash Bros.
