Ness Upgrades because they’re being ignored!

Base Ness:
Resistances:
End Game Ness:
Resistances:

Additional possible Speed Feat:

Attack Potency: At least Multiverse level (Became one with the universe and the system of fate, which can travel to other universes like a grain and wave. This is when Ness defeated his Nightmare and absorbed Magicant)

Biological Manipulation (Resists Zombie bites)
It would also be resistance to Corruption (Type 1)
Time Manipulation(Due to being immune to changes in time)
It's just a consequence of his acausality, not really a resistance to general time manip.
Reality Warping and Time Manipulation (if Ness’ powers were able to match Giygas, he should be able to attack across time)
He could match/affect Giygas because he had the range and was Low 2-C himself. It's not really a matter of manipulating time (at least not directly or through abilities).
Not literal petrification, it's just a fancy way of saying Giygas is scary.
Large Size (Type 8) - Due to his consciousness becoming one with the universe and system of fate
Sure, but this would only apply for his consciousness.
From the little I remember, and from what his profile suggests, only his mind became one with Magicant. We also see after the cutscene (after he leaves/wakes up from magicant) that his physical body remains the same size, even when compared to his friends. So his speed wouldn't change.

At least Multiverse level (Became one with the universe and the system of fate, which can travel to other universes like a grain and wave. This is when Ness defeated his Nightmare and absorbed Magicant)
Not really seeing why this would be 2-B.
1. Ness absorbed Magicant, not the Truth of the Universe.
2. Travelling to other universes is not an indication of scaling to them.
3. Ness not being able to defeat Giygas by himself at the end of the game would kinda contradict a (solid) 2-B rating for him from what I'm seeing. As Giygas' profile says:

The rest of the OP looks fine to me.

Got It.

Ah-
I see, I agree.

Agreed.

Oh, so it remains unknown then.

We require scans for our profiles to be in the English language. All the links to Spanish let's plays have to be replaced.
 
Alright. In the meantime:
I disagree with Social Influencing here, it's not really anything Ness is doing outside of just being a good guy and listening to them that earns their friendship. I might be mistaken in the case of the first two scans though since they're not in English.
I think it's unconsciousness, not death. The in-game description for the lifenoodles says "Revives a friend who is unconscious".
Biological Manipulation and Corruption (Type 1: Resists Zombie bites)
Why are we assuming zombie bites work in that way in this setting?
Large Size (Type 8) - Due to his consciousness becoming one with the universe and system of fate.
I guess. It'd be limited in the same way HDE and abstract existence are though.
I don't think this is an ability of the character but rather how time travel works in this universe. Every character in the world of Earthbound perfectly remembers what you did and thanks you for saving them despite all the time travel shenanigans, it's not something unique to Ness.
Are we assuming Magicant is a real life realm or one he's astral projecting into? It can't really be both. Well I guess it could but I don't remember that being the case.
Reality Warping and Time Manipulation (if Ness’ powers were able to match Giygas, he should be able to attack across time)
What? Why? And why are we even assuming that they did, given Ness doesn't scale to Giygas? Hell if he could attack across time there wouldn't even be a point to traveling back to the past, would there?
Are you taking "Paula's prayer was absorbed by the darkness" as literally meaning that voidhax is happening? It's clearly just a poetic way to impress that nobody heard it. Even if it was hax it's not being targeted at the characters themselves, nothing implies they're in danger from that.
This isn't fearhax, it's just that Giygas is really scary.

I agree with Oblivion in regards to these.

In Mother 1 Magicant is like another realm that can be accessed via the real world but in Earthbound it's explicitly said to exist within' Ness' mind so i don't think it'd be astral projection at all. Subjective reality should be fine tho since Ness is able to take items from Magicant back into the waking world.

Understood

This might be right yeah. I love EB but I haven't played it in years so i don't remember the specifics
