Editing Lucas (SSBU)

 

As in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', {{s|wikipedia|Lani Minella}}'s portrayal of Lucas from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' was repurposed for ''Ultimate''.

 

Lucas is ranked 61st out of 82 on the current [[tier list]], placing him at the top of the C- tier. This is a sizable drop from his 28th/29th out of 54 placement in ''Smash 4'', where he was tied with {{SSB4|Ness}}.

*Clear {{SSBU|Classic Mode}} with {{SSBU|Kirby}} or any character in his unlock tree, being the 7th character unlocked after {{SSBU|Corrin}}.

Lucas must then be defeated on [[New Pork City]] (the [[Ω form]] is used in World of Light).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the end, Lucas is gifted with an extremely versatile moveset, with one of the best edgeguarding games in the game, some of the most powerful smash attacks and throws, a long and flexible recovery and great comboing and pressuring tools, Lucas has an excellent advantage state and can rack up damage very easily with his highly-damaging combo strings or with his high-damaging and powerful moves, while he usually does not have much trouble KOing opponents at early percents either with edgeguarding or with his powerful smash attacks. Lucas fits best into the mix-up type. He has useful zoning options and he can be effective when controlling foes' space and options thanks to his PK Fire, quick disjointed normals, and Rope Snake. However, he can be a formidable foe at close-ranged combat thanks to his amazing comboing and KOing ability, along with his great aerial game. Lucas players must take advantage of his deadly edgeguarding tools by forcing his opponent off-stage with his powerful throws, with many of his aerials, his smash attacks and his special moves being powerful enough to gimp or KO his opponent at exceedingly early percents. However, they must be careful in approaching because his zoning options can quickly become predictable, and he can quickly become overwhelmed by his opponents if he is not careful enough, as his decidely average mobility and underwhelming defensive game can easily be exploited due to his almost non-existent out of shield options, while his floatiness and lack of a reliable hitbox under him can make him very vulnerable to juggles. As a result of this, Lucas is especially vulnerable against characters with superior mobility and longer disjointed range (such as {{SSBU|Shulk}} or {{SSBU|Zero Suit Samus}}), superior zoning abilities (most notably {{SSBU|Link}}) or great recoveries that are difficult to edgeguard (such as {{SSBU|Peach}}), and has an extremely high learning curve.

Lucas has received a mix of buffs and nerfs in the transition from ''SSB4'' to ''Ultimate''; although he received much more buffs, it's hard to determine whether he has been buffed or nerfed overall. Some of Lucas's biggest strengths from the previous game have been noticeably nerfed, but his moveset as a whole is much more consistent.

Lucas has received comparatively few nerfs, though most of them have been heavy. The most notable of these nerfs is to his [[down throw]], which has more knockback and ending lag; which significantly hinders his previously guaranteed combos past low percentages, no longer having access to semi-guaranteed KO set-ups (into back aerial at the edge, or to up aerial at high percentages). The universally [[tech]]able [[footstool]]s and changes to [[lock]]ing have also drastically neutered the more intrincate setups his down throw had. Overall, Lucas no longer has access to guaranteed high damage from his throws, and his footstool-based combos are much less useful unless the opponent isn't able to tech in time. Aside from these nerfs, [[PK Thunder 2]] now has halted momentum at the end of its animation, which shortens his recovery. Lucas also has a slightly harder time landing due to [[PSI Magnet]] no longer halting his momentum in the air.

In spite of these nerfs, Lucas has predominantly received many more significant buffs. His frame data and damage output have all been strengthened as a whole, which has made his attacks generally safer (especially if sweetspotted, due to their [[electric]] effect). Lucas's approach and aerial game are much more effective, as his [[forward aerial|forward]], [[back aerial|back]] and [[up aerial]]s all are now capable of [[autocancel]]ing from a short hop, the former is a much more viable move for KOing, and the latter's hitbox now matches its animation more correctly. His [[grab aerial]] can now be [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MA1bVZEyPQ0 double-jump canceled] as well, which now gives him an additional option for approaching as well as retreating and can be chained into itself repeatedly or forward air, giving it great combo ability. [[Down aerial]] can now loop into itself at mid to high percentages, and can now set up kill confirms (most notably forward and down smash, and forward air), and the inability to tech grounded meteor smashes benefits his back aerial, which can also loop into itself and his other aerials. Thanks to these buffs, the aforementioned nerfs to his combo game have been somewhat compensated, with the latter and his mix-up options still being extremely effective in his metagame.

Lucas' grounded game has also seen several noteworthy improvements. [[Forward tilt]] has more range and power, [[up tilt|up]] and [[down tilt]]s have more combo ability, sweetspotted [[forward smash]] is more powerful, [[up smash]] has significantly increased power and now renders him invincible for longer, and [[down smash]] can now once again hit opponents multiple times. Lucas's special moves have all been improved as well; in particular, [[PK Freeze]] no longer makes Lucas helpless, can travel through soft and semi-soft platforms, follows the ground on contact with hard platforms, sends at a lower angle that gives it fearsome [[edgeguarding]] potential, and leaves opponents [[freeze|frozen]] for a much longer period of time at higher percentages. [[PK Fire]] also sends at a lower angle and has more knockback, making it a more impactful projectile when it connects; [[PK Thunder]] travels faster and is an even better edgeguarding and gimping tool; and PSI Magnet absorbs and recovers faster. Thanks to the significant power buffs to most of his already powerful finishers, along with his drastically better edgeguarding game, Lucas' punish game is considerably more varied and less specialized overall.

Aside from the changes to footstooling and locking, some of the universal changes made to ''Ultimate''{{'}}s engine have significantly benefitted Lucas overall. Like with most other veterans, his previously lacking mobility is somewhat better thanks to his faster [[dash]]ing and [[air speed]]s; combined with his improved aerials and PK Fire, this gives him a significantly more useful neutral game. The increased [[shieldstun]] further improves the safety of Lucas' attacks on shield, especially if they're sweetspotted. Thanks to the changes to [[air dodge]]s and the return of directional air dodges, Lucas has another option to mix up his recovery, furthermore, like {{SSBU|Ness}}, Lucas's directional air dodge travels farther than other characters. Adding to this, because characters can only air dodge once before landing or getting hit, when combined with a retooled PK Freeze, Lucas's edgeguarding game is much more lethal than before. On the other hand, the ability to air dodge once before landing or getting hit has further worsened his ability to land.

Altogether, Lucas is a less polarized character than in ''Smash 4''. He no longer has access to KO setups from his down throw and his footstool and locking-based combos are less effective, but many of his most glaring weaknesses were notably improved, some of his less potent moves became much stronger, the significant buffs to his edgeguarding game and his much more powerful and damaging finishers have significantly improved his KOing ability, and the changes to the game's pace have provided more flexibility for him, granting him far options than he had in ''Smash 4''. As a result of this, Lucas has a relatively higher learning curve, and now plays better with a mix-up playstyle. However, given the various buffs to other returning veterans, and the introduction of DLC characters that Lucas struggles against, it's generally agreed that his buffs were not significant enough to improve Lucas, and he is worse relative to the cast than he was in ''Smash 4''.

==Update history==

Lucas was buffed slightly via game updates. Initially, update 2.0.0 only slightly decreased neutral aerial's landing lag and edge lockout duration. Following this, update 4.0.0 buffed Lucas in a few more noticeable ways. Forward tilt's sweetspot gained a larger hitbox (albeit only during the first 2 frames) and higher base knockback; both of these buffs make it a deceptively useful KO option, especially when it is angled upward when used as a follow-up from down tilt.

Dash attack gained additional active frames, although its sourspot was inadvertently nerfed slightly, due to it becoming less advantageous on hit by 2 frames. Up smash gained more invincibility frames during start-up, while up aerial and [[PK Fire]] had their ending lag decreased and landing lag decreased, respectively. Lastly, update 8.0.0 improved the consistency of Lucas' pivot grab by adjusting its axis positioning.

 

Overall, Lucas fares mildly better than he did at the launch of ''Ultimate''.

{{UpdateList (SSBU)/8.0.0|char=Lucas}}

|game=SSBU

|neutralname=Short Kick ({{ja|ショートキック|Shōto Kikku}}) / Reverse Kick ({{ja|リバースキック|Ribāsu Kikku}}) / Turning Kick ({{ja|ターニングキック|Tāningu Kikku}})

|neutral2dmg=1.5%

|neutral3dmg=3.5%

|neutraldesc=A right-legged roundhouse kick, followed by a right-legged hook kick, followed by a left-legged reverse roundhouse kick. The last hit has slightly more range. Hits first on frame 2, making it Lucas' fastest ground attack. The first and second hits can [[jab lock]], but might miss on very thin characters like {{SSBU|Joker}} and {{SSBU|Zero Suit Samus}}. The second hit can be interrupted sooner than in ''SSB4'', and lead into a grab or aerial attack.

|ftiltname=PK Slash ({{ja|ＰＫスラッシュ|Pīkei Surasshu}})

|ftiltdesc=Twirls with his arm extended to emit a small blast of PSI energy from his hand. It can be angled and has a [[disjointed hitbox]], although its sweetspot is located inside of the blast. It has overall low lag, disjointed range, and the ability to be angled, all of which make it very useful for 2-framing an opponent. In addition, its sweetspot is powerful enough to KO reliably, whereas its sourspot can [[lock]] opponents at low percents. Due to these traits, it is one of Lucas' best KO options, and is generally considered one of the best forward tilts in the game.

|utiltname=PK Reverse Kick ({{ja|ＰＫリバーサルキック|Pīkei Ribāsu Kikku}})

|dtiltname=Spinning Leap Kick ({{ja|スピニングリープキック|Supiningu Rīpu Kikku}})

|dtiltdmg=5%

|dtiltdesc=A legsweep. Although weak, it is fast and reliable for either racking up damage or chaining into itself, a neutral attack, a forward tilt or at higher percents even a forward aerial and a grab. Hits on frame 3, making it tied with {{SSBU|Ness}}, {{SSBU|Little Mac}}, {{SSBU|R.O.B.}}, and {{SSBU|Meta Knight}}'s down tilts for being the fastest down tilt in the game. The edge of down tilt unfortunately doesn't [[lock]] opponents like it used to do in other iterations.

|dashname=PK Palm Push ({{ja|ＰＫパームプッシュ|Pīkei Pāmu Pusshu}})

|dashdesc=A dashing palm thrust that emits a blast of PSI energy from his hand. Its sweetspot is powerful enough to KO at reasonable percents, although it has noticeable start-up and deals more damage the farther the opponent is from Lucas.

|fsmashname=Stick ({{ja|ぼうっきれ|Bōkkire}})

|fsmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|14}} (base), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|15}} (tip), 1.5× (reflected projectiles)

|fsmashdesc=Swings a {{s|wikibound|stick}} in front of himself. The stick's tip deals more damage and knockback. Lucas' stick also has the ability to [[reflect]] projectiles.

|usmashname=PK Smash Geyser ({{ja|ＰＫスマッシュゲイザー|Pīkei Sumasshu Geizā}})

|usmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|2}} (hit 1), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|21}}, {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|20}}, {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|18}}, {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|16}}, or {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|14}} (clean to late hit 2)

|usmashdesc=Emits a large blast of PSI energy above his head. Despite in-game tips saying it can attack opponents hanging on the edge, this is only partly true; it'll either whiff or not connect properly on 60% of the cast, the remaining 40% will get hit and combo'd into the strong hit. It is a huge "high-risk, high-reward" attack; it has an extreme amount of ending lag, which makes it very punishable if missed, but it is strong enough to KO at 81% when uncharged and at 43% when fully charged. It also has other positives, as it renders Lucas invincible on frames 1-7 making it even dodge grabs, grants intangibility to his head on frames 15-29 and has a very large hitbox, making it a decent anti-air and punish attack if used correctly. The animation appears to based on Lucas' {{s|wikibound|Seven Needles}} pulling animation.

|dsmashname=PK Blow ({{ja|ＰＫブロウ|Pīkei Burō}})

|dsmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|17}} (clean), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|14}} (mid), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|11}} (late)

|dsmashdesc=Aims his arm diagonally downward and emits three consecutive blasts of PSI energy towards the ground while holding his hand in a finger gun gesture. With each blast, its range increases at the expense of damage and knockback. It is one of the strongest down smashes in the game when clean, as it is able to KO as low as 60% near the edge depending on the opponent's weight and DI. If well timed, it can also catch recovering opponents before they grab the edge. Has a bit of start-up lag, but surprisingly low ending lag for its power. Unlike in ''Smash 4'', each blast is treated as its own hitbox, meaning that it can potentially hit multiple times at low percents, and damages shields more than once, though its shield damage is low for each hit to compensate.

|nairname=PK Flying Attack ({{ja|ＰＫフライングアタック|Pīkei Furaingu Atakku}})

|nairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|2}} (hits 1-3), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|4}} (hit 4)

|nairdesc=Tumbles while emitting blasts of PSI energy around his torso. A good combo starter. Unlike in the previous game, its launching angle is more horizontal, and the last hit launches the opponent depending on which side they are on in relation to Lucas.

|fairname=PK Air Front Kick ({{ja|ＰＫエアフロントキック|Pīkei Ea Furonto Kikku}})

|fairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|12.5}} (sweetspot), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|9}} (sourspot)

|fairdesc=A flying kick that emits a blast of PSI energy from his foot. It is fast and disjointed, making it a good off-stage option and one of Lucas' better spacing options. Its sweetspot deals the most knockback and can KO Mario at the edge at 106% on Battlefield. This move's sourspot can [[lock]] opponents at early percents. It also autocancels in a short hop.

|bairname=PK Meteor Kick ({{ja|ＰＫメテオキック|Pīkei Meteo Kikku}})

|bairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|12}} (sweetspot), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|9}} (sourspot), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|7}} (late)

|bairdesc=A backflip kick that emits a trail of PSI energy from his foot. It can [[meteor smash]] at the tip of his foot and has disjointed reach, with its weakest hitbox being at the tip. The last hitbox of this move can [[lock]] opponents at early percents. It can also autocancel if buffered out of a short hop.

|uairname=Jumping Headbutt ({{ja|ジャンピングヘッドバット|Janpingu Heddobatto}})

|uairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|11}}

|uairdesc=An upward headbutt. The move's hitbox is now properly attached to Lucas' head unlike in ''SSB4'', making it a more reliable attack. Deals respectable knockback, making it a good KO option near the upper blast line. It can also autocancel in a short hop. At 70% and lower it is an effective combo tool, as it leads into itself and other aerials on landing.

|dairname=PK Foot Stomp ({{ja|ＰＫフットスタンプ|Pīkei Futtu Sutanpu}})

|dairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|3.5}} (hits 1-3), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|5}} (hit 4)

|dairdesc=An alternating series of [[Meteor smash|stomps]], with each stomp emitting a small blast of PSI energy from his feet. Isn't as disjointed as it looks as its range has been slightly nerfed from ''SSB4''. The last hitbox of this move can [[lock]] opponents at low percents. The sourspots can also lock opponents on a platform. Because grounded spikes can no longer be teched, down aerial can be looped into itself at around 65% on average, and combo into a forward or down smash for a KO.

|zairname=Midair [[Rope Snake]] ({{ja|空中ヒモヘビ|Kūchū Himohebi}})

|zairdmg=5% (clean snake), 3% (arm and late snake)

|grabname=Rope Snake ({{ja|ヒモヘビ|Himohebi}})

|pummelname=Grab PK Shock ({{ja|つかみＰＫショック|Tsukami Pīkei Shokku}})

|pummeldmg=1.3%

|pummeldesc=A point-blank blast of PSI energy. Average power and speed.

|fthrowname=PK Throw ({{ja|ＰＫスルー|Pīkei Surū}})

|fthrowdesc=Telekinetically throws the opponent in front of himself. KO's 1-4% earlier than up-throw on some of the most common legal stages.

|bthrowname=Reverse PK Throw ({{ja|リバースＰＫスルー|Ribāsu Pīkei Surū}})

|bthrowdesc=Telekinetically throws the opponent behind himself. It is his strongest throw. It can KO even super heavyweights at 154% near the edge without [[rage]].

|uthrowname=PK Lifting ({{ja|ＰＫリフティング|Pīkei Rifutingu}})

|uthrowdesc=Telekinetically whirls the opponent around his head, then throws them directly overhead. One of the strongest up throws in the game, as it KOs around 116%-180% depending on the opponent's weight and DI.

|dthrowname=PK Pile Driver ({{ja|ＰＫパイルドライバー|Pīkei Pairu Doraibā}})

|dthrowdmg=11%

|dthrowdesc=Telekinetically slams the opponent into the ground head first. Shows a bury effect, however this is purely aesthetic. It can combo into aerials at low percentages, but it loses follow-up potential quickly at higher percentages because of its noticeable ending lag and knockback.

|edgedmg=9%

|nsname=PK Freeze

|nsdmg=10%-23%

|nsdesc=Emits a [[wikibound:PK Freeze|snowflake-shaped blast of PSI energy]] from his head that [[Frozen|freezes]] opponents. The direction of the blast's path can be controlled, it can be made stronger by holding the special button and it can be concluded at a deceptively fast speed. A notoriously effective edgeguarding tool, as it launches opponents away from Lucas and has great maneuverability, as well as having a large hitbox.

|ssname=PK Fire

|ssdmg=3% (lightning), 7% (fire)

|ssdesc=Thrusts both of his hands forward to release a [[wikibound:PK Fire|lightning bolt-shaped PSI projectile]] from his hands. Unlike Ness' PK Fire, Lucas' version results in a brief, fiery explosion of PSI energy that launches the opponent away, rather than a long-lasting pillar of fiery PSI energy. It is further differentiated from Ness' version in that it flies straight ahead regardless of whether it is used on the ground or in the air, as well as causing a minimal amount of recoil both on the ground and in the air, making it more effective as a spacing and horizontal recovery tool than Ness' PK Fire.

|usname=PK Thunder

|usdmg=2.5% (projectile head), 0.8% (projectile tail, rapid hits), 8% (PKT2 initial), 2% (PKT2 rapid hits 1-5), 1.5% (PKT2 rapid hits 6-10), 10% (PKT2 last)

|usdesc=Emits a [[wikibound:PK Thunder|streaming, electrical PSI projectile]] from his head. It can be directed into Lucas to launch him at a high speed. It doesn't disappear after hitting an opponent and instead hits multiple times, giving it damage racking and gimping potential. This effect also applies PK Thunder 2, with Lucas hitting an opponent multiple times upon colliding with them. Deals immense damage if all of PK Thunder 2's hits connect, making it one of the most damaging up specials in the game. It is also a versatile recovery option if used correctly, as it covers great distance while being hard to properly counter itself due to its multi-hit and intangible properties.

|dsname=PSI Magnet

|dsdmg=8% (ending), heals 2× the damage of absorbed projectiles (maximum 30%)

|dsdesc=Thrusts his arm forward to emit a [[wikibound:PSI Magnet|glowing orb of PSI energy]] around his outstretched hand, which comes out quicker and absorbs more damage than Ness' variant. Any energy-based projectiles it absorbs will heal him. When a projectile hits him from behind, Lucas will turn around and heal from it, but not as consistently as in ''Brawl''. It can also be used offensively, due to it being safe on shield, dealing damage and having a [[semi-spike]] knockback to opponents inside of it when it dissipates. The move now has a windbox that drags in opponents near it.

|fsdmg=6.5% (per hit)

|fsdesc=[[Boney]] and [[Kumatora]] join Lucas, who summons [[wikibound:PK Starstorm|a shower of falling stars]] that fly towards the center of the stage, damaging opponents in range. The trajectory of the meteors can be angled left and right. Unique to Lucas' version of PK Starstorm, the range of the meteors can also be adjusted. Tilting the stick up causes the meteors to spread out near the top of the screen (this will allow the meteors to hit opponents closer to the upper blast line, but will miss any who are grounded); tilting down causes the meteors to slightly angle outwards as they fall towards the stage (if done from the center of Final Destination, the meteors will cover almost the entirety). Overall, it has far more control than Ness's version.}}

===[[Taunt]]s===

*'''Up taunt''': Trips, falls on his bottom, shakes his head, and gets back up.

*'''Side taunt''': Duster's Rope Snake comes out of Lucas's hand and has a brief conversation with him, as Lucas shrugs at it.

*'''Down taunt''': Angrily positions his right hand up to his forehead and grunts while generating small bursts of PSI energy from his index and middle fingers, then swings his hand down to emit a trail of PSI energy.

*'''Left:''' Forcefully pulls one of the Seven Needles out of the ground, sending it flying off-screen while Lucas looks toward the screen in a battle-ready pose.

*'''Up:''' With his back toward the screen, he crouches while poking at something on the ground with a large stick. After the camera zooms in, he then turns his head around to face the screen and says "Huh?" while briefly sporting a surprised expression.

*'''Right:''' Bends down on one knee and waves his right arm in front of himself while releasing blasts of PSI energy from his index and middle fingers.

 

 

 

 

Likely due to his high learning curve and being outclassed by other characters with a similar archetype, Lucas's representation has been somewhat below average throughout most of the competitive lifespan. Although he has seen notable representation at a regional level thanks to the likes of {{Sm|Mekos}} and {{Sm|WhYYZ}}, his results at a major level were notably more scarce, although they have since been improving in the post-online metagame thanks to the efforts of players such as {{Sm|ChocoTaco}}, {{Sm|Nitox}}. and {{Sm|Regalo}}. As a result, most players consider Lucas to be in the mid-tier, which is reflected in Lucas's placement in the current tier list, where he is ranked 61st as the highest character in the C- tier.

All of Lucas' opponents have supernatural abilities.

===Fighter Showcase Video===

{{#widget:YouTube|id=GWjfyyGNL8c}}

*Although Lucas' bursts of PSI retain their pink-and-yellow color scheme in his reveal trailer, pre-release screenshots, and his appearance in the [[:File:SSBU Panoramic.png|panoramic "Everyone Is Here!" illustration]], his bursts of PSI in the released version of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' feature a cyan-and-yellow color scheme instead.

*Lucas is the only ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' [[newcomer]] to receive a completely new victory theme.

*There is an animation glitch regarding Lucas' back-hitting/wall bounce hitstun animation, in which animation blending does not occur and results in him "snapping" into his tumbling animation. This does not occur with Ness.

*When factoring in his availability in ''Brawl'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', Lucas is the only fighter in the entire series to have been a [[starter character]], an [[unlockable character]], and accessible via [[downloadable content]].

*Despite also specializing in supernatural powers, {{SSBU|Zelda}} does not appear in Lucas' Classic Mode route.

*Lucas and the {{SSBU|Ice Climbers}} are the only fighters that use sprites for their default fighter spirits.
