Ness's Move List
This is the move list, for the famous psychic hero from Earthbound. He is one of the hardest characters to control and be good with, but he's worth the effort if you practice.
Normal Attacks
- A - punch (if tapped 3 times - punch, punch, kick)
- Walking + A - kick
- Running + A - tackle (it looks like he's pushing something)
- Down + A - low kick
- Up + A - two-handed upward punch
- In air + A - two-footed midair kick
- In air + direction you are facing + A - mid-air tackle (again it looks like he's pushing something)
- In air + opposite direction + A - back kick
- In air + down + A - downward stomp
- In air + up + A - midair headbutt
Smash Attacks
- Left/right + A - it's the original Home Run Bat from Earthbound!!! (if you have really awesome timing, it can be used to hit solid projectiles back like motion sensor bombs, beam swords, other bats, etc.)
- Down + A - low yo-yo throw (attacks both sides)
- Up + A - around the world (with his yo-yo)
Special Attacks
- B - PK Fire (traps opponent in a little column of fire for a few seconds))
- Down + B - Psi Magnet (absorbs certain projectiles like Samus's blaster, any fire, Fox's blaster, etc.)
- Up + B - PK Thunder (can be directed with the control stick; it is the main way to save yourself from falling to the death - direct it to hit yourself in the butt; this is also Ness's coolest attack if you use it to smack yourself into other people)
