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.

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 do electric damage. The only major change known currently is that his down throw temporarily buries opponents during its execution.

Aesthetically, like Ness, Lucas has more vibrant colors and is more expressive. He has a more rosy blush and has lost the purple in his eyes. The stripes on his shirt are now completely horizontal, and it lacks the partial stripe at the bottom.

While not playable at the release of the game, there is a trophy of Lucas in both versions. Upon release, he's expected to receive two trophies that match the format of the other playable characters.

Lucas

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.

Once upon a time, Lucas was a bit of a cry-baby. You might even say he was a wimp. But then, well...he had more than his fair share of rough times and toughened up a bit. Who knows what he's up to now? Whatever he's doing, his story - much like Ness's - lives on in the hearts of all Mother series fans.

Trivia

• Lucas is so far the only Brawl newcomer to be available as downloadable content.
• Lucas is only the playable character in SSB4 to not have a game released outside of Japan.
• The tagline used for Lucas is a reference to his home of Tazmily Village being located on the Nowhere Islands.
  • It's also a reference to the fact that he was confirmed without prior knowledge.
• Certain segments of Lucas's trailer reference certain elements in Mother 3.
  • In one part, Lucas in fallen by another Lucas with the color scheme of the Masked Man. This references a segment in Mother 3 when Lucas is left with no choice but to fight his brother (who serves as the final boss of the game).
  • Another part shows him with Claus (Lucas in Claus's color scheme), and the Duck Hunt with the Chocolate Lab color (which references his pet dog, Boney.)
