Top 5 Best EarthBound/Mother Series Party Members
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2018
- Who are subjectively and in no way biased or prejudiced by my personal tastes the best party members of the Mother series in my opinion? Well, I'm about to tell you in this video. Even with that long-winded explanation about how this is who I'd pick for the best party members, I have a feeling people will still attack me.
Buzz Buzz is the best party member in Earthbound.
If im being for real he's okay at best, what is useful is that he can help you in early game and he gives free PSI shields. Later om his attacks are awful.
No its king
@@claytong2069 no its pokey, pokey is even better than picky, as picky actually attacks, while pokey is too good for attacking, he has great psi Support Spells Such as, "Complaining to ness" "Using ness as human shield" and "Playing dead"
@@kawee1so true!!!!!!!!!!!!
Buzz buzz can do around 150 at tops he's op
Chuggachonroy’s least favorite
Paula:Her pray gets them all killed
@Lia Nakamora her psi is useful but the fact that she's tomboyish but weak af is frustrating
To be fair Lucas has bats and Kumatora has gloves
Paula is the best character and needs to be a playable character in ssbu
Also yub
chuggaconroy luck dawg 😭😭😭😭
Dude. You're honestly wrong.
The best party member is Claus.
Claus is faster, stronger, and way cooler than Lucas.
And, yes, he's only there at the very beginning of the game, Claus *DOMINATES* Lucas.
Theusernameless he tries to run away from family instead of battle
His arm cannon
Can fire in spurts
You can actually add Claus to your party with the debug room, but he doesn't get any PSI or special abilities unfortunately.
1 damage
@@snarblewarbs6199 if he shoots ya
it will deflect
I feel like Lucas and Kumatora had the advantage of a more robust system and more development experience, then again I like their team simplicity of Defensive PSI user, Offensive PSI user, Tool user and item user, just wanted to drop in my 'two cents'
Truly, the best character in mother is... *B u b b l e M o n k e y*
Its kinh
King
And then there's....
*a l s a*
Nah Salsa on top
11:22 is that ninten in a flying man costume
Why, of course.
@@ReeseyPuffy I can't think anymore
Buzz buzz is amazing while you still have him he literally just generates endless shields
My top five before I watched this
1. Ness, come on he's Ness, he's OP, especially after Magicant, his only problem is his speed
2. Lucas, he is very strong and his psychic is super useful, PK Love is super op compared to Rockin in Earthbound
3. Ana, her psychic should literally be nerfed
4. Teddy, he's is very strong and when you get him but he doesn't stay in the party for long
5. Paula, *cough cough* PK Freeze is broken in Earthbound
1. Paula, the most kind and powerful character
I always thought the elemental PSI abilities were better in Mother 3 for their special charateristics like solidifying, burning, etc, so I said Kumatora in my list. I also said Jeff over Teddy, myself.
Teddy is easily top 5. At the very least, he blows the rest of the EB Beginnings cast out of the water, by a long shot.
Paula's PK freeze should be renamed to PK R4PE, even as a first timer i realized how broken it was
@@spaghettiwarrior1573 nah he doesn’t have psi. Definitely top 5, but I’d say Ninten having almost as good of stats + gamechanging PSI solidifies teddy as the second best in mother 1.
In my opinion, Flint is the best character AND party member.
Power Smash is literally the strongest attack in the game (barring PK Ground, as it deals percentage-based damage). I'm serious, level up every party member to lvl 99 with the Debug Room and try their strongest attacks. Power Smash can deal 1500 damage or even more.
Yes, however you can only play as him for one chapter.
@@reallyannoyingguy6625 He was planned to be playable post-timeskip.

-1(for Chuggachonroy), Paula.
Because she Prays and it’s kills his team
now in english please
Nintendo's best nintendo franchise earthbound / mother next to super mario
Zelda Kirby and Pokemon want to know your location
Personally I would have put Ana on here, her defensive stats and attack may be god awful, but she has the best offensive PSI in the series. You may not get most of them, but you're still likely to get PK Freeze Gamma and PK Beam Beta. Her healing is also debatably better than Ninten's since Ninten is likely to not get any until the very end of the game.
I was actually considering including her but I didn’t want to include two party members I had previously called the worst. In hindsight, it’s a stupid reason, but still.
She also has PSI Magnet which Ninten doesn't have, so at that point you basically have infinite healing, as long as the enemies have PSI and don't screw you up while you're busy PSI Magnetting them
if only her speed wasn’t so low
Ana's a perfect glass cannon. She incredibly extremized, carrying OHKO moves and full screen wipes, but she also instantly dies if the enemy so much as breathes in her direction. For most of the game, she's a liability honestly, but once you unlock her full moveset, she trivializes every fight. If this list is considering peak performance, Ana is hands down one of the most busted units in the series (as long as you can protect her).
duster is amazing, when you get back attacked, he can flip the enemy around so you back attack them, or he can do a backwards reverse kick
ah yes backwards reverse kick
I think of Kumatora as a combination of Paula and Poo. She has the same PSI as both of them and she got trained in her PSI abilities. Also, she is royalty.
I think Jeff is the greatest party member ever in the mother series
"Jeff uses the multi bottle rocket"
*Proceeds to one shot the Starman deluxe*
@@RazorMonkeysewer rat, master belch 2.0 left rhe chat
Jeff is unable to SMAAAASH attack because of Guts. Jeff has bad Guts, so that's why. Also that might be why he always gets Sunstroke in deserts.
I doubt it has anything to do with his Guts stat, since Poo can cause SMAAAASH!! attacks despite having the worst Guts of the four party members. I’m pretty sure I mentioned this in the video, but they might have deliberately prevented Jeff from being able to deal critical hits to balance out his inability to miss, though it’s never been confirmed if this is true. (Plus, in Mother 1+2, Jeff actually can SMAAAAASH!! attack enemies, so it might have been some sort of glitch)
@@ReeseyPuffy Eh, fair point.
I don’t think you can smash with a gun unless you hit them with it
@@clowwnned I heard somewhere that Ness was made to be the least likely to get sunstroke because he wears a hat, so I figured they did something similar with Jeff since he grew up in a snowy place.
Temporary party members sometime?
Pippi, our deity, will finally be mentioned.
One thing that's really big: offensive/defensive PSI is completely useless in Earthbound, while they are very useful in Mother 3. So I wouldn't even consider Offense/Defense Up to be a factor in Earthbound since there's nowhere you'd really need it.
wait till you see offence/defence/speed up in mother 1
2:44 skip honorable mention
Now I want top 5 best and worst PSI abilities. (You can do this anyway you want, you can just use the general PSIs or include the ranks (Alpha, Beta, etc.))
I’m actually considering a video about the PSI, but instead of just a countdown it’ll be me critiquing every PSI ability in EarthBound. Or if I’m insane, I’ll talk about the PSI in all three Mother games.
@@ReeseyPuffy Why not which form of each PSI is best, based on each game, as well as worst?
I love the Lloid/Jeff/Duster/Boney niche in RPGs.
They're comparable to the Chemists in Final Fantasy Tactics. They get mediocre stat growths overall, but items are so powerful and overlooked in JRPGs where you have cheap full heals in every town/after every encounter.
Jeff/Lloid/Duster get some exclusive items, while Boney has very high speed letting him work well as an emergency medic.
(Incidentally, Chemists in FFT have a built in ability to throw items, using them at range, and they can equip guns, accurate ranged weapons that can't shoot around cover which lets them do some chip damage. They can also learn how to find items on the ground. Sure, they work best as a subclass, but they are very practical.)
Lucas: Healer
Kumatora: Attacker
Duster: Tool User
Boney: *Spams Pencil Rockets*
Jeff be OP until you go broke in Summers
Nah he is op since he gets slime generator
personally i would have put duster at number 3 because of his ability to do free debuffs to the enemy and being able to spam w a l l s t a p l e s, but otherwise great list!
Facts, tickle stick, scary mask and wall staples are overpowered
Pray is actually really good on peaceful rest valley
Also character development doesn't mean getting stronger
mother has stats that you can roll to get a constant: you can roll 0-3. based on your constant, it will determine how high a stat will go up. the formula used is roll+constant/2=stat up rounded down. ninten's constant for all stats is 4, so he will either go up 2 (if you roll a 0 or 1) or 3 (if you roll a 2 or 3). so if you get a 3 on all stats each level, ninten has every stat maxed at 255. therefore ninten is a god.
@@blazeknight5050 all of Ninten's stats can max out at 255, his HP can max out at 510, and his PP can max out at 382.
@Theusernameless ness is like that guy your girlfriend tells you not to worry about
Kumatora's kind of strong, she uses lots of PSI, has the most PP in the team, she has quite good offense and defense and can use OP attacks like PK Starstorm and PK Ground.
Its a great video, but I think Ness is generally stronger than Lucas, I love then both, but I think Ness is better.
Oh yeah, Ness is overpowered in comparison. He’s tanky as hell and basically can’t die. But I went with Lucas in the end as I think he’s more balanced in battle and as a character I find him way more interesting. That’s just me though.
Ness is better because at the end of the game he op and he is really good throughout the story compared to Jeff
His death ray dose 1 damage and I hated him I never got any items for him because Ness was good enough
Lucas is pretty good his speed tho is so bad it made it really hard to use his special abilitys he's good on paper but
All has going for him is is healing and pk love which is way to expensive to use and your pp will get drained really fast he also is not as tanky and fast like kumatora and duster and that makes them better as you can just spam items with them which is actually a really good strategy somehow the bombs arnt good though and in earthbound magic tarts are no so op you can last huge amounts of time in any fight
Yes, Ness has more HP and PP naturally, but that's it. That's all he has over Lucas. Lucas naturally is more defensive, has more physical power, FAR more PSI power, and he's faster. This means Ness will always do less and take more damage than Lucas from the start. Lucas's HP also scrolls a lot slower.
That's total STAT-wise, focusing on damage specifically, Ness is SEVERELY outclassed. I know, you're thinking I'm wrong, but remember, Lucas naturally has more attack, and can hit 16 TIMES in ONE turn, and you'd better believe he's landing it EVERY time at level 99. We're talking about natural damage higher than a PK Love Gamma. This alone saves Lucas a TON on PP- everyone assumes he has to use it, he doesn't. Ness, on the other hand, has no choice to use PSI to get substantial damage off on Lucas to force him to heal. That's physically, psychically Lucas's PSI is more cost-effective than Ness, and does more consistent damage. Ness has to hit the far upper part of his range nearly every time to beat him out damage-wise.
Neither can be killed easily, though, that's a problem for BOTH of them. Neither will win if they're just straight up attacking each other. The difference is Lucas can set up, and Ness can't do anything about it. Lucas also has better shields, that last for three turns unlike Ness's, to protect him as sets up. Once he does, it's over, there's nothing Ness can do.
The only chance Ness really has to beat Lucas in a drawn-out fight is using PK Flash. He can hinder him with Hypnosis and Paralysis, but it won't help kill unless Lucas's HP is low.
It's just a question of how fast Ness can land a OHKO with a PK Flash to kill Lucas before he sets up and destroys him.
@@alizachaos6395 pk love always dose the same damage but it's pp cost is terrible also a 16 bit combo takes a ton of skill to do
Also saying that Lucas is better due to his hp rolling down slower make him better is strange statement due to having every party member in mother 3 rolling down the same and him being the slowest out of them is terrible because what is the point of reviving your party members but die before you can do that because your party members who are dying have more hp than lucas and the only solution is to have kumatora to be your carry instead of Lucas also shields and counters don't work in most cases for some reason and that makes them useless. But in earthbound you just don't use shields and that game was a lot easier also if you numb Lucas you can force him to use up all his pp because he dose not have enough pp to sustain himself for like 5 pk
loves
@@aheadsounds2522 You're thinking as if Ness and Lucas are being controlled by two humans. If the two characters themselves fought, level 99, maximum skill, maximum strategy, what I described is what would go down. It's JUST Lucas vs Ness, no other party members. And the fact that Lucas's meter scrolls slower IS better, it gives him more time to act across multiple turns than Ness, but he's not better by this sole fact. Shields do work, and Lucas at level 99 WOULD be landing 16 hits every single time. Even as a person playing, they're not that hard.
If only Poo didn't have that stat problem with equipment that doesn't end with "of kings" he probably would've been on the list.
You deserve more vieeeeeeeeewwwwwws
0:07
Alright, I'mma guess...
Ness
Kumatora
Lucas
Jeff
Ana
That's my guess...
"Duster has no stand-out stats"
Duster is the tankiest party member in Mother 3. He'll live through almost anything and be the last around if everyone takes like 500 damage or something
3:00
*FINALLY.*
Jeff is so POWERFUL and everyone treats him like Lloyd (Who I also like)
Jeff can keep up with Poo's attack stat, said attack comparable to NESS, with Jeff's Heavy Bazooka, he NEVER needs to heal if you use the Hungry HP Sucker and becomes THE SECONDARY TANK OF THE PARTY, and finally, Bottle Rockets and MULTI BOTTLE ROCKETS are more powerful than PSI usually is. Multi Bottle Rockets are comparable to Rockin OMEGA and usually deal 4 digits of damage.
Jeff is also the main item user, so he could fix items at the Saturn Hotel and get infinite money by selling broken items, and of course, using Bags Of Dragonite on him isn't a waste either. Jeff is the Batman of the chosen four, and can ABSOLUTELY not be underestimated.
I want him in Smash Bros.
As a fighter.
4:43
Teddy is my place 6
Good offense and a weapon for him appearing in Magicant is NO accident. Put it in Lloyd's inventory, keep a Boomerang on him until Teddy gets put in the party, and switch back when Lloyd comes back.
Teddy shares stats with Pippi, and she had no weapon and was keeping up with Ninten at level 1. You KNOW he's strong
Though he feels temporary, and honestly I don't like him that much.
Though since I saved PSI in Mother 1 for as long as I could (Making Lloyd my secondary attacker, which yes that's why I like him so much, he tries his best and when everyone but Ninten had a boomerang he helped damage output drastically) so Teddy was a life saver there.
5:56
YES. HER! Kumatora is my favorite party member, period.
Healing, Starstorm, status moves, Magnet, Elemental PSI, and highest damage output of ALL the Bashes that Ana, Paula, and Kumatora can do. Her punches start being 2/3rds of Boney's damage and over time, all those bashes add up. On top of that, she has a beautiful personality, pink hair, and the strength to call out Fassad. Absolutely a pick for this list.
7:18
900 hp, 600 pp
Need I say more
Ness is just op. Put a flash res pendant on him and he will carry the team
*Forever*
Ness is ACTUALLY awesome. Can't believe how much he had to be nerfed to be put in Smash Bros.
8:58
Imma have to disagree with you coach
Ness's stats just make him much better than Lucas so I'd absolutely out him up top.
But Lucas comes from a better game, is an absolutely INCREDIBLE character, known for being a crybaby but becomes so, SO brave, and finally absolutely slaps the question of who the best character is by having powerful PSI that I believe actually does swamp Ness's. If we're talking by content of character, Lucas is the best. Ness is just slightly less good in that part and is just carried by his stats. But I've still gotta say...
Lucas just does it all better. By having the stat increasing stats for the party, he gets more to do than "Spam PK Love or Lifeup!" and his regular attacks are no joke, strongest of the party. I absolutely love the boio
Your voice sounds like you work at a comic book store or do voice over work for any scientist character on the Simpsons.
Isnt flint technically a Temporary character?
I don’t consider Flint a temporary party member since he has his own stats, battle commands, the ability to level up, etc. Outside of Pippi (who I count as temporary since you have no real time to use her), every temporary character has fixed stats and attack on their own.
@@ReeseyPuffy Claus best meme btw. He is used in 1 battle in mother 3 and is controllable.
Anyways thanks for the anwer!
he his useful if you can hack him in your team he's the physically strongest party member on your team and has a chance to do major damage to enemies.
Without a doubt, Lucas is the best party member. But Ness is definitely the most op character in the series if we look at power scaling. By the end of mother 3, Lucas and Co. can defeat some powerful robots and animal hybrids (chimeras). Potentially, some of these rivaling some minions of giygas. By the end of Mother 2, Ness and Co. can defeat a galaxy destroying being who's existence tears at reality. And the values of the damage dealt and given, as well as the values of the stats must be different. Where as a single point towards a stat in earthbound could be something like 5 points in mother 3 (probably not 5, but was making an example).
imo Top 5 should be:
1. Ness
2. Lucas
3. Ana
4. Ninten
5. Paula / Jeff
Ness is super reliable all game and is broken as hell after the sanctuary boost, Lucas is comparable to pre-sanctuary Ness but with more PP and better PSI, Ana has the best set of PSI in the series (could be above Lucas), Ninten is as about as reliable as pre-sanctuary Ness and he doesn't even need offensive PSI since he can truck through the game with regular attacks, and I tied Paula and Jeff because they both have a really broken tool they can use; Paula has access to PSI Shield which makes enemy PSI completely useless (on top of a pretty strong early game), and Jeff has the Big and Multi Bottle Rockets which can oneshot most bosses.
Think about this for a second, if Multi Bottle Rockets are THAT strong then just imagine how powerful Big Multi Bottle Rockets are if they existed 😳
After mother 3 Jeff made one of those and now all of Nintendo is so scared of Jeff that they will never touch the mother series again
Now imagine Dozen Bottle Rockets, and Big Dozen Bottle Rockets
We all know picky is the best lmao
I hope you keep making content because you are a amazing person and your organization and editing is outstanding. I hope you have a great day my man!
on weapons that you "shoot", its impossible to smash, thats a fact that should be widely known
I dont know about the flying man.But i have played mother 3.so i think we can all agree that wess is atleast one of the best temporary charathers in the game or even the complete series
I perfer fassad since wess has more chances to to argue with duster and kumatora plus fassad bombs are more powerful
@@ShiftyGuy777 Fassad is it really that good?,It may seem like it is good..but maybe it is because salsa is bad
@@weirdomcfreak I did one playthrough with a 5th party member which is a npc that joins your party out of the two fassad seem more useful as he did constant damage than wess as wess wasted turns on duster and kumatora but thats just me with my luck.
but having wess is still not as bad he can be fine to keep as he can also throw dusters socks to make enemies unable to attack
Yes Lucas is the top!
I was an Earthbound fan since Brawl, but since Mother 1 made it to Nintendo Switch Online, I've been playing it nonstop. I guarantee one thing...
Teddy is definitely in here.
My best are
5.Ness
4.Lucas
3.Poo
2.Duster(I love my boy)
1.Kumatora(because she is op). The reason for Kumatora is Pk Ground. That’s all I need to say
Agreeable
You forgot Picky, he is so powerful with 1 damage per attack, and his magic chant ITS SO POWERFUL THE GAME OVERFLOES IT TO 0 (I stole the last part of the comment from another person)
I think we forget the fact that Ana’s psi fire 1 shots many enemies
King, bubble monkey, salsa, wess, and Claus
People make jokes about characters like Ness and Lucas not having the special or elemental PK attacks and only heal
Yet Ness and Lucas have unique PK abilities that are literally stronger than the elemental PK attacks
Seriously PK love can become stronger than PK starstorm
Nintens buff moves are incredibly op he boosts the absolute dog shit out of his offense stat
And salsa?
You should do temporary party members. That'd be people like Dungeon Man and Wess
we all know that ninten goes from nintendo that ness is a word game by snes and that lucas ...... is it claus from a novel from a book called claus and lucas or was it lucas and claus?
guys I found the name of the novel it's called the great notebook
I’m not saying your list is wrong but I think fassad should be number 3
Only because he can eat your food,tase you and throw rockets
But then again if you give him psi he is okey but not great
I know this is controversial but...
Why no make a video on who's the strongest main character in the mother series?
Because Ness is the most op protagonist on the trilogy based on stats/hp/pp
I prefer Lucas tho, he is cute, a really good protagonist and PK Love don't give me a headache like PSI Rockin'
I'd put Ness over Lucas just because he's an absolute wall. Giygas stood absolutely no chance against Ness in my playthrough.
The reason I like teddy is because he can wield the samerai sword
If PK Ground was available earlier on, Mother 3 would be a completely easy game. Funny how trivial it makes Cyborg and Porky
200th subscriber:)
The most op earthbound party member is
Elmo
Yay more mother / earthbound
Poo should have had a role more like teddy, heavy hitter and tanky
Thais ness
You should do worst and best temporary party members.
8:31 however, if you give him the rabbits foot, that disadvantage becomes nonexistent
Here’s my ranking
12 Lloyd
11 Boney
10 Poo
9 Ninten
8 Paula
7 Duster
6 Ana
5 Teddy
4 Lucas
3 Jeff
2 Kumatora
1 Ness
You forgot about the lowest rated mother game ever… mother 1+2. In that version, Jeff IS able to land SMAAAASH!! attacks, making him way better than any other character
Best party member is bubble monkey
I dont think Ninten should be anywhere near the worst list tbh.
I think he's probably the most useful character in the game, specifically because he has the ability to guarantee escaping a battle, meaning you have to deal with fewer BS random encounters.
I dont think mount Itoi would be half as bearable without that ability.
I actually wanted to say poo, but I was letting my bias get in the way. No, seriously.
7:20 did you call Ness a her.
No, I said “Even people who don’t know of EarthBound know who he is”.
@@ReeseyPuffy oh sorry for that
Oh no, it’s fine! To be fair, I do slur my speech a bit and this video is perfect evidence of that.
Yea jeff is gimmicky and that’s why I love him he can big damage a single target with bottle rockets area with bazooka raise the party’s defense with the shower
Its king
What about in the Giggys battle?
Paula single handedly took down the final boss though
When you show the white text messages they show up and dissapear so fast so if you want us to read it id say slow it down so you dont have to pquse to read it, and also you speak fast and i have a hqrd time hhearing you at some parts, but you are good in fluency itw your pacing, but this vid is kindq old so if you made improvement s im proud of you from one dude on the internet to another
yay kumatora is at number 3
at 5:51
I'd liken Lucas and Ness to a paladin class.
Paula doesn’t make the list??
sorry but jesus i cant understand a word you say (or most of the things you say) bcs of how low the video's volume is even when both my pc's and youtube's volume is at max, so please try to remake this video when you get a better mic (if thats the problem) if you will get one
Duster carries in mother 3
What is ninentiu ness
ness to me is like cecil
But funny part is ness is the strongest party member at like powerful
Number 1 paula
F l y i n g m e n
Paula can't use psi heal tho...
I think I meant to say PSI Shield if that’s what you were talking about.
Bubble monkey is the best party member
This post was made by bubble monkey gang 🫧🐒
BlueNinten is stronger than normal Ninten
My gamer girl energy is enough to outclass any ninten
