Lucas (リュカ, Lucas) will be a playable character in Super Smash Bros. 4 as a downloadable character available some time in June 2015. He was confirmed to be a playable character during the Nintendo Direct presentation on April 1st, 2015. He is the third cut veteran to return for Super Smash Bros. 4, after Dr. Mario and Mewtwo.

Changes from Brawl

As of this time, Lucas's moveset appears to be mostly the same as it was in Brawl. His neutral attack, forward tilt, up tilt, down tilt, forward smash, up smash, neutral aerial, forward aerial, back aerial, grab, tether recovery, and all taunts all have similar animations as their Brawl counterparts. Lucas also retains all his special moves: PK Freeze, PK Fire, PK Thunder, and PSI Magnet, with no apparent changes to any of them other than PSI Magnet, which appears to cover Lucas' whole body and do electric damage. The only major change known currently is that his down throw temporarily buries opponents during its execution.

Before adventuring, Lucas was a timid, cautious boy. His journey has made him a stronger person. Maybe he met someone to spend his life with... Hang on—we're moving way too fast! For now, remember that Lucas and Ness are favorites in the hearts of EarthBound fans.
