Lucas uses {{s|wikibound|Duster}}'s [[Rope Snake]] from ''Mother 3'' to perform a [[tether recovery]]. The Rope Snake is also a [[taunt]], where Lucas looks at the snake and argues with it. Lucas also utilizes Duster's [[Rope Snake]] for his grabs, giving him a ranged grab, much like {{SSBB|Link}}, {{SSBB|Toon Link}}, {{SSBB|Samus}}, and {{SSBB|Olimar}}. Like Ness, all of his special moves, as well as his Final Smash, derive from in-game attacks that are instead learned by another character, in his case, [[Kumatora]], not Lucas himself. | Lucas uses {{s|wikibound|Duster}}'s [[Rope Snake]] from ''Mother 3'' to perform a [[tether recovery]].

Lucas ranks 30th on the [[tier list]], at the very bottom of lower-mid tier. Lucas possesses above average speed and mobility, as well as some of the most powerful smash attacks in ''Brawl'', with fast start-up (his forward smash) or very large disjointed hitboxes (his up and down smashes); powerful throws with great KO potential; a decent zoning option in PK Fire; a great and versatile recovery with several options; fast attacks; and multiple attacks that can setup additional blows effectively. However, Lucas possesses an unremarkable aerial game with some problematic aerial moves (such as his B-air) or aerials that are just inferior compared to what other characters possess, a nearly useless projectile with little utility in PK Freeze, a lack of reliable KO moves outside his smash attacks and throws (limiting his versatility in being able to finish off an opponent), and a rather poor [[grab]] game outside of KO'ing, possessing a low reaching [[tether]] grab (relative to his peers like Olimar) and lacking any effective setup throws outside of low percents. His most major flaw, though, which is often cited as the reason for his low mid-tier placement, is the 10 additional frames of [[lag]] he suffers when [[grab release]]d on the ground, similar to the character he is partially cloned from, {{SSBB|Ness}}. This makes him vulnerable to grab release followups from nearly every character, as well as a 0-death grab release and an [[infinite]] grab release from {{SSBB|Marth}} and {{SSBB|Donkey Kong}} respectively. Overall, Lucas has generally poor [[matchup]]s (with four especially terrible ones, due to serious grab release issues from Marth, {{SSBB|Snake}}, Donkey Kong, and {{SSBB|Sheik}}, giving him several hard {{b|counter|matchup}}s, while being even with the lower-tiered {{SSBB|Bowser}} due to the aforementioned problem), and poor [[tournament]] results. | Lucas ranks 30th on the [[tier list]], at the very bottom of lower-mid tier, making this his worst placement in the series.
