Hey, have you played Smash Brothers yet? Ness is in it, but I can't get him! Some say you get him on hard with 3 lives but some say you get him on normal with 3 lives! What's the real answer? and whats Ness like in SB?
Personally, I don't even have the game (yet). But I did get the opportunity to play it at a friend's house. He got all four secret characters in less than two days (it blows my mind). Ness is a pretty cool, (and pretty powerful) character.
My friend got him on normal mode with the three lives remaining (it probably works on hard mode too). I think he used Luigi to get Ness as a secret character. Of course, Luigi is a secret character too, so you'd have to get him first if you wanted to use this method.
When he appears in the arena, he teleports and crashes (you know, when he crashes in EB?...that's what he looks like at first)
Here are his moves:
PK Fire- I believe you just press B by doing this. It doesn't have a very long distance, so, you'll have to be close to do this move. But it ROASTS the enemy!
PK Thunder- This move is really cool. I think it's performed by B and down Ness starts to concentrate, and begins to glow, then he releases an orb of electricity that you can control! Move over Pikachu! Ness can also use this to save himself if he falls off the arena. He can zap himself back into the arena, and not take any damage.
PK Magnet- It's not really like the Magnet attack. It's more like a shield. I forgot the key sequence...anyway, unlike the normal defense shield, Ness actually ABSORBS damage, and it increases his own health if he is hit by projectiles.
Other moves- Ness can sort of float too. It's more like a really powerful jump. His normal attacks are kicking and stuff. When you fight him in order to get him, he's packing a bat with him. So beware. His coolest move really doesn't have a name. But I think it's comparable to his PSI Special attack. What he does, is he levatates an enemy, and hurtles them clear across the arena! Sweet!
Ness basically sounds like a normal boy (who's Japanese...^_^ ). He shouts "PK FIRE!" (sort of sounds like PK FI-AH). And "PK THUNDER!".
Ness's weakness (?)- Well, it doesn't seem like he has any. The only one I could see is that he's kind of slow. But his telepathy definetly makes up for that.
That's the lowdown on Ness for those that wanted to know.
