Yeah, but Ness was God in SSB. His step kick was an instant kill, his throws were instant kills and they took precedence over all other attacks, his PK Cannonball shot almost all the way across the screen and did insane damage, and his smash attacks were powerful enough to kill an opponent at very low damage. He was the hardest character to unlock because he was the best character in the game, hands down. They really toned him down for SSBM. Kicking ass with Ness in SSBM is a much tougher thing to do.
