Lucas (リュカ, Lucas) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He was confirmed as a playable character on June 12th, 2018.

Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

Aesthetics

• As with all veterans returning from SSB4, Lucas's model features a more subdued color scheme. Similar to Brawl, some of the detailing on his cloths and weapons are more prominent, such as the vertical stitching of his socks. Lucas's model and textures otherwise appear unchanged.
• The Rope Snake's scales are more pronounced.
• Like other characters, Lucas always faces the screen regardless of which direction he turns. This affects his movesets as well (such as the end of his up tilt), all of which appear to be mirrored.

Ground Attacks

• Lucas' fingers are now more pronounced during his down smash, where he bends his elbow after each shot.

Throws/other attacks

• Lucas now shows an angry look during his standing grab animation.
  • Rope Snake now moves towards Lucas after he is done using him in the grab. The snake disappears without shrinking when the animation is interruptible.

Special moves

• Lucas' back is angled lower in the end of his PSI-Magnet animation, similar to the beginning of his run animation in Mother 3.
• PK Fire now has its PSI graphics from Mother 3 when fired and upon hitting someone.
  • Similar to Ness, he leaves a red spark on his hand until he fires PK Fire, similar to his down-smash.
• PK Starstorm is now similar to its Brawl iteration, firing meteors inwards towards the center of the stage, but at a slower rate and with slower meteors. His animation no longer reuses Ness' Final Smash animation and instead is more similar to his animation in Brawl. Lucas is also assisted by Kumatora and Boney.
