'''Lucas''' ({{ja|リュカ|Ryuka}}, ''Lucas'') will be a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' as a [[downloadable content|downloadable character]] available some time in June 2015. He was confirmed to be a playable character during the [[Nintendo Direct]] presentation on April 1st, 2015.

Lucas seems to use the same voice clips from ''Brawl'', in which he was voiced by Lani Minella.

==Changes from ''Brawl''==
As of this time, Lucas's moveset appears to be mostly the same as it was in ''Brawl''. His neutral attack, forward tilt, up tilt, down tilt, forward smash, up smash, neutral aerial, forward aerial, back aerial, grab, tether recovery, and all taunts all have similar animations to their ''Brawl'' counterparts. Lucas also retains all his special moves: [[PK Freeze]], [[PK Fire]], [[PK Thunder]], and [[PSI Magnet]]. However, PSI Magnet is now larger than in ''Brawl,'' where it was only centered around his hand.

===Aesthetics===
Like [[Ness (SSB4)|Ness]], Lucas sports an updated look. He is slightly taller and thinner, with a smaller and more proportionate head. Lucas' colors are more vibrant; his shirt now has completely horizontal stripes (which lack the partial stripe at the bottom), he has a more rosy blush and has lost the purple in his eyes.  
* {{change|Lucas is more expressive, now usually having a smile on his face.}}
* {{change|Like Ness, Lucas now uses updated sounds for PSI related attacks.}}
* {{change|PK Thunder's color has changed from blue to purple.}}
* {{change|Lucas now keeps both eyes open while performing PSI Magnet, opposing the fact in ''Brawl'' where he only kept one eye shut.}}

===Aerial attacks===
* {{change|Neutral aerial's final hit appears to have an altered animation.}}

===Grabs===
* {{buff|Lucas's [[tether]], his [[Rope Snake]], is much longer and doesn't immediately retract to its typical size.}}
* {{change|Down throw temporarily buries opponents during its execution.}}

==Trophy==

While not playable at the release of the game, there is a trophy of Lucas in both versions; this trophy matches his design in ''Brawl''. Upon release, he is expected to receive two trophies that match the format of the other playable characters. It is expected that the existing non-fighter one will remain as Mewtwo's non-fighter trophy remained after his release.

:{{flag|ntsc}} ''Before adventuring, Lucas was a timid, cautious boy. His journey has made him a stronger person. Maybe he met someone to spend his life with... Hang on—we're moving way too fast! For now, remember that Lucas and Ness are favorites in the hearts of EarthBound fans.''
:{{flag|pal}} ''Once upon a time, Lucas was a bit of a cry-baby. You might even say he was a wimp. But then, well...he had more than his fair share of rough times and toughened up a bit. Who knows what he's up to now? Whatever he's doing, his story - much like Ness's - lives on in the hearts of all Mother series fans.''

==Trivia==
*Lucas is the only playable character in ''SSB4'' to not have appeared in a non-''Smash'' game released outside of Japan.
*The tagline used for Lucas  is a reference to his home of {{s|wikibound|Tazmily Village}} being located on the {{s|wikibound|Nowhere Islands}}.
**It's also a clever nod to the fact that he was announced without any prior acknowledgement.
*Segments of Lucas's trailer reference certain elements in ''Mother 3''. 
**One scene references endgame fight against the {{s|wikibound|Masked Man}}, represented by Lucas's new gray costume holding a [[Beam Sword]], and his standard costume wearing a [[Franklin Badge]]. 
**Another scene references Lucas with his twin brother {{s|wikibound|Claus}}, and the family dog {{s|wikibound|Boney}} (represented by a brown costume {{SSB4|Duck Hunt}}).
