==Update history==
==Update history==
Lucas has been buffed slightly via game updates. Update 2.0.0 buffed neutral aerial by allowing him to grab edges earlier and reducing its landing lag. Following this, update 4.0.0 buffed Lucas in a few more ways. Forward tilt's sweetspot gained a larger hitbox (albeit only during the first 2 frames) and higher base knockback, both of which make it a deceptively useful KO option, especially when angled upward as a follow-up from down tilt. Dash attack's duration was lengthened, although its sourspot was inadvertently nerfed slightly, as it is now 2 frames less advantaged on hit. Up smash became safer thanks to gaining more invincibility frames during start-up. Lastly, up aerial and [[PK Fire]] had their ending lag and landing lag decreased, respectively. Most recently, update 8.0.0 improved the consistency of Lucas' pivot grab by adjusting its axis positioning.

Overall, Lucas is slightly better than he was at ''Ultimate'''s launch.
