Lucas picking fights in Brawl
Warning! Challenger approaching! Lucas from Mother 3 (released only in Japan) is a new fighter in Super Smash Bros Brawl.
In case you're not familiar with him (I know I'm not), he uses psychic abilities to fight.

Always look eye, Daniel-san.

Let's go surfing.

Join the dark side.

Fetch, boy.

He looks like ness. That means they've extended the newcomers zone on the website and ness fell down a ditch.

A clone of ness - we don't need that.
insultman911
He looks like calvin from calvin and hobbes.

Goodbye ness, hello extended page on the dojo website. Woo. More newcomers. I'm going to predict some. Krystal replaces falco. They're not going to show unlockables. Sheik might finally be a stand alone character. Bowser jr should be in it if diddy's in it.
world wide wii
Reminds me of ness.
tam uchiha
Like ness.
smashdodo
For all these people who might think he is a clone of Ness, do not worry. We just saw Lucas using similar normal moves, not special moves. Also some characters like Luigi have similar normal moves to Mario.

At first I thought it said lucario!
Nintendeth
I hope he doesn't replace Ness.
Dablackluigi
Man! Lucas replaces Ness? Ness was cool. I hate to see this guy replace him. Maybe Lucas will be to Ness like Luigi is to Mario (moveset wise).
Epsilon
Ooh, more Earthbound charachters, interesting.
RisingPhoenix
I like him WAY more than Ness. His attacks look a lot cooler too. I hope he replaces Ness, I might play this guy once in a while.

Lucas seems like a cool character, I wonder about Ness's return though.
Master Foot
Could it be that Ness is getting the axe?
Zendalf
Does this mean no ness?! There has to be ness. He was the best.
DKX900
Oh god it's Ness v2! Please kill this character, it's a waste of time. I was really hoping smash bros would have the sense to kill Earthbound and Mother.
BonbonJoe
I have no idea who he is, but hey, it's a new character.
dragoon3646
I hope he joins ness and isn't taking his place. I don't care what anyone says, ness was cool. I hope they're both in.
B Darius
AWESOME! So if Lucas is appearing, then Ness is definitely going to appear as well.
r3y-r3y
Cool update but I hope they still have ness.
Wii Freak
He looks the same as ness except for his hair.
cookie
That is awesome but I hope ness doesn't leave or I will be kind of mad. But anyways he is still cool.
Scooby Jew
Why is his mouth always open? Does he draw his power from his Down's Syndrome?
WIIPING FOR WII
C'mon guys do you seriously think that they are going to replace a vetaren that has been in the game since the beginning?
scramble
Well of course ness is going to be in it, he's the main character of Earthbound. That's just like saying link is going to be replaced by a goomba.
pichu fan
Know that the rumor wasn't true, maybe the main 12 won't make it after all. I just hope ness will come back with the rest of the characters, no one is having the axe, not this time. I still like this dude.
SSB4LIFE
It's nice to get a new character update, but this raises two concerns. A) I hope he won't replace Ness because I really liked playing as him. B) If both he and Ness make it into Brawl, will he be a clone of Ness? I hope not, I hate clones and I don't want to tarnish Ness' reputation.
name
He is not replacing ness, if you actually read carefully it mentions ness in the update. Meaning that he is coming back.
Aleric735
I love SSB, but if they don't put in some other cool characters because they wasted slots on people like Lucas, I'll be rather annoyed with Nintendo. I'd be much more happy to see Koopa join the ranks than some character I don't know that seems to be a Ness copy. Here's an idea: CREATE A NEW CHARACTER, Nintendo! Oh by the way, I seriously doubt they'll be tossing aside any of the original SSB characters, so chill out Ness fans.
Elebot
Excellent. I was hoping Earthbound would get another character. It just seems fitting. Can't wait to try him out. Yeah, will be very disappointed if Ness is not in Brawl.
ganon man 62
Not very specific on ness. It could mean ness is back or it could say goodbye ness. I really don't care either way. Ness never was my character. I just hope they keep marth.
dec3issofaraway
Ness is in for sure. The Smash Dojo website says that "Is it possible he can surpass even Ness?".
Nickhead
It's been 4 or 5 weeks since they had a challenger approaching.
insultman911
No ness people. There can only be 1 earthbound character in the game.
JosephTheSquirrel
Eh, I don't really care for this guy. Didn't care much for Ness either.
insultman911
Dojo'd be great if they had funny captions, but hey. That's why wiisworld is here.
divinity boy
Wow, pic 3 looks cool. I never liked Ness very much, but Lucas looks interesting.
sidkid004
He's not completely the same. By the way, Lucas was the main protagonist in Mother 3 for the Gameboy Advance, y'know, if anyone is curious.
NinjaRygar
Ness wasn't supposed to even be in Melee. If Mother 3 had been released at the time, Lucas would have been in that game instead. Now that Mother 3 is out, Ness doesn't need to be there. Sakurai said that some characters will be replaced and some won't be returning. It makes sense. Now stop complaining about it and get used to it.
DragonFoxCoon
Well, if Ness is out, then I'm all for his replacement.
Nintendoof
Great! Still waiting for Olimar. Does anyone else think an Earthbound Wii game is on the horizon?
YoshLee
I'm kind of weirded out because before I saw this I was thinking please be a newcomer. This is a cool update.
Super King
One hundred dollars says Ness is still in the game. Sakurai wouldn't mention Ness at all (as he does in this update) if he wasn't returning.
Epsilon
He LOOKS like Ness, but probably will be different. Ness will probably return in Brawl anyways since he's been in the first two games.
YoshLee
Ness will totally return.
MarioDude
From what I hear Sakurai said that all the characters from the original SSB 64 would be returning which means ness too shall return.
insultman911
Maybe ness will return. If that character's been in the 2 smash games, they'll probably return. C Falcon might because there's a C Falcon dude as an assist.
Nickhead
Gee his hair looks like Jimmy Neutron, the idiot I hate.
Soul Lock
Right now, Ness still has a chance. We'll learn if they have an update with Lucas' moveset.
Epsilon
Really, Nintendo has no reason to cut Ness. Even though Ness and Lucas MAY end up similar, there'll still probably be a number of noticeable differences, just like with Mario and Luigi.
Rachy1337
He's not a clone of Ness. He's actually more shy. His sprite in Mother 3 doesn't look like calvin or dennis the menace.
EarthBound Player
No, there will be no EarthBound for Wii, as far as can be predicted. Shigesato Itoi, creator of EarthBound, has said he does not intend to make any more games (though he suggested that if anyone else wants to take up the franchise, they are welcome). And as for Lucas "not being cool enough", all I can say is that I pity the fool who has never played EarthBound.
ssbbssbbssbb
I thing Ninjabread Man should be on Super Smash bros Brawl.
Meta Knight
You should put ness in brawl too so Lucas and Ness fight each other to see who is the strongest.
Nintendoof
*sob*.
EDD
Ness was one of the strongest fighters. Now comes lucas trying to take over.
Sagi-Wagi
The fourth pick just screams "OBJECTION!".
Belgarath
I played as him. He's cooler and better that Ness. Jimmy Neutron?
Hobo Santa
I seriously think that Ness is better than Lucas. Lucas just come in and take Ness's place. Sure Ness was in every SSB so far, but he still deserves to be in brawl (by the way, I did a match with lucas at lv9 and ness at lv1 and ness won! XD).
