Both characters received a buff in their mobility both in the air and on the ground, and the return of directional air dodges significantly benefit both of their recoveries. All of their PSI moves also emit their respective PK graphics when used, and both characters summon some party members when using [[PK Starstorm]]: Ness summons [[Paula]] and [[Poo]], while Lucas summons [[Kumatora]] and [[Boney]].

All of his specials have also received some overhauls. [[PK Fire]] has less landing lag and is now harder for opponents to escape. [[PK Thunder]] has more knockback at the head, while PK Thunder 2 has a longer travel distance. [[PK Flash]] no longer causes Ness to go into free-fall and is significantly weaker. Most notably, [[PSI Magnet]] now deals minor damage when active, allowing Ness to use it in combos. Additionally, his specials now emit graphics similar to how they looked in EarthBound, such as PK Flash displaying bright circles when used.

Lucas's moveset received less changes then Ness and is overall the same as his previous incarnation. His most notable change is a buffed [[PK Freeze]], which no longer puts Lucas into free-fall and knocks opponents away diagonally, making it harder for him to recover. Another notable change is the nerf to his down throw, which has lost most of his combos and KO setups. Similar to Ness, his specials emit graphics similar to their respective graphics in Mother 3.
