Super Smash Bros. Crusade/Ness

Ness Earthbound (Nintendo)

Introduction

xSSBC_Ness_Stock.png Ness (ネス) is the main character of the cult classic SNES RPG Earthbound, which was the most successful between the three games. Ness is a courageous young boy from Onett in 199X who was woken by a meteor crashing onto the mountain of his home, and was selected by the peculiar Buzz Buzz as the boy who would save the world, with the quest of searching the Eight Melodies being tasked to him. Ness would find himself in Smash 64 as a welcome surprise addition to the game, and has stuck around with the perfect attendance crew since then.
