See my previous post about the Duck Test (I believe it was #372).

As i said Ness' physical strength and durability don't seems to come from PSI

I have been killed by too many PSI-disabling enemies in EarthBound to agree with you unless, of course, you have an official source for this information. Tabbender wrote: Dodging attacks and using magic don't require to have a strong body When Sans dodges the player's attacks in the Genocide Run, he has more stamina than Ness does in battle (as the latter is only able to "dodge quickly" occasionally), and clearly moves across the screen without teleporting, even physically exerting himself. Plus, for what it's worth, he slams the player's soul around like it's nothing, when it clearly has some weight to it. Best of all, he does all this without once removing his hands from his pockets. Tabbender wrote:Toby implied that he forgot about his Earthbound rom hack a long time ago Where and when? Tabbender wrote:I think we're trying way too hard to make a ridiculous theory legit. As I've said, I'm willing to reconcile the idea of Sans being Ness if it's shown to be sufficiently illogical. Some obvious situations would be:

-If less than three bullet points are not debunked

-If there is no way Ness could have become a revenant

-If Toby Fox (or a similar official source) explicitly states that Sans is not Ness

Feel free to look for some other ones.
