His moves are mostly similar to his previous [[Super Smash Bros.|Smash 64]] incarnation with a few changes. Some of his moves, including forward air and back air, have been given psychokinetic properties, and he has gained a new neutral aerial. The most notable change to Ness is the introduction of his new neutral special, [[PK Flash]], with [[PK Fire]] being moved to his side special. | ||
In an interview, series creator Masahiro Sakurai mentioned that he planned to replaced Ness with [[Mother 3]] protagonist [[Lucas]], however due to [[Mother 3]]'s [[EarthBound 64|delayed release]], he decided to keep Ness instead. Lucas will eventually appear alongside Ness in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. | |||

*Many of Ness's PSI abilities in Super Smash Bros. were not originally his, rather they were used by [[Paula]] and [[Poo]]. These abilities are [[PK Thunder]], [[PK Fire]], and [[PSI Magnet]]. The only move he uses that's originally his own is [[PK Flash]]. Paula's trophy description mentions she probably taught Ness PK Fire and PK Thunder. | *Many of Ness's PSI abilities in Super Smash Bros. were not originally his, rather they were used by [[Paula]] and [[Poo]].
