Lucina (SSBU): Difference between revisions

</gallery>

Lucina has seen strong potential even before the release of ''Ultimate''. Pre-release tier lists ranked her as one of the best characters in the game. Many top professionals noticed her strengths over her original fighter {{SSBU|Marth}}, lacking tippers on her hitboxes. She is also complemented with a low learning curve possessed with a simple neutral, above-average edgeguarding, and consistent KO power. She has been a popular choice among all levels of play. {{Sm|MkLeo}} and {{Sm|Nairo}} were early pioneers for the character utilizing her as a strong secondary to their mains {{SSBU|Ike}} and {{SSBU|Palutena}}, respectively. Leo went on to win {{Trn|GENESIS 6}} and be the runner up for {{Trn|Frostbite 2019}}. Later on, players, such as {{Sm|Mr. E}}, {{Sm|Etsuji}}, and {{Sm|ProtoBanham}}, use her as a solo main to consistently do well in tournaments. {{Sm|ProtoBanham}} notably placed well in Japanese tournaments with a 1st place finish at {{Trn|Kagaribi 4}} and being the runner up at {{Trn|Umebura Japan Major 2019}} and in American tournaments with a 5th place finish at {{Trn|EVO 2019}}. Although she has seen remarkable success at the top level of play, her results have steadily decreased because of the simple playstyle she has, enabling players to quickly learn the matchup and become more used to how she plays. In the present day, Lucina is still widely considered a top tier and one of the best swordfighters in the game along with {{SSBU|Shulk}}, {{SSBU|Roy}} and {{SSBU|Pyra}}/{{SSBU|Mythra}}.
