As a result, Lucas perpetually floundered between 27th-30th on the tier list in the low tiers, with minimal tournament results and a small playerbase, since the very beginning of ''Brawl''. Lucas had a few dedicated and highly notable players, however, most significantly Mekos, who managed to get unusually high tournament placings with a perceived low tier character; the pinnacle of such being Mekos placing 9th at [[SKTAR (tournament)|SKTAR]], which was only the second time (after {{Sm|San}} at [[Apex 2010]]) that a player would place in the top twelve at a national using a perceived low tier character (and this would be the last time in ''Brawl'' that a low tier player would place that high at a national). | ||
The propensity of the aforementioned Lucas players to place significantly higher than their low tier brethren and the best players of some higher-ranked characters, as well as occasionally taking sets off of big name players using high tier characters, led to many players believing Lucas was underrated and not the low tier he was always ranked as. While the BBR would finally formally move Lucas out of the low tier in their latest tier list after having ranked him a low tier for five years, they didn't actually increase his placing, and he remains only one spot removed out of their low tier at his perpetual 30th ranking. The Japanese, however, rank Lucas a bit higher on their tier list, ranking 24th there in their middle tiers. | |||

Lucas is seen walking alone in an abandoned zoo, until several [[Primid]]s show up. Then, suddenly, the gigantic [[Porky Statue]] appears and chases after Lucas. Lucas runs from it, until he gets caught in a snag and just when Pig King Statue almost has him, {{SSBB|Ness}} comes to his rescue by attacking the statue with a [[PK Thunder]].

Ness dodges each time, so Wario eventually aims at Lucas and shoots. Ness pushes Lucas out of the way and gets turned into a [[trophy]] himself. Terrified, Lucas runs away as Wario cackles in the rain. | ||
Later on, Lucas runs into the {{SSBB|Pokémon Trainer}} as more Primids show up. After they are defeated, the Pokémon Trainer leaves, but Lucas decides to join him after remembering what happened to Ness. Lucas and the Trainer encounter and defeat Wario in the desert wastelands outside of an abandoned temple, but Lucas gets depressed when Ness is still nowhere to be seen. Along the way, the Pokémon Trainer catches {{SSBB|Ivysaur}} and {{SSBB|Charizard}}. After Charizard is caught, [[Galleom]] falls into the ruins, having been knocked down there by {{SSBB|Marth}}, {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}, and {{SSBB|Ike}}.

The Ice Climbers fall into The Canyon soon after. The group is then ambushed by a horde of Subspace foes. Luckily, Mario and Link's group arrive to assist.

Then the Falcon Flyer lands with Captain Falcon, Olimar, Samus, Pikachu, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, and R.O.B. on it.

Lucas can use any sticker that has a PK attack bonus, similar to {{SSBB|Ness}}, which covers all but his forward smash, down tilt and up aerial. He can also use ice, fire, and electric attack bonuses for his special moves, though Indirect Attack would likely be more effective as using three stickers separately would be inefficient. Lucas's physical attacks are mainly composed of Leg attacks, though his forward tilt is Arm, up aerial is Head and forward smash is Weapon. | |||
