A popular rumor states that in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', Lucas was meant to replace Ness as a playable character, but Ness was included due to time constraints. The rumor was substantiated by Sakurai himself on July 17th, 2001 when he updated the original [[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]] site with Ness's profile.  Quoth Sakurai-san:
===''Super Smash Bros. Melee''===
Lucas did not appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. He was, however, intended to be a playable character, but Earthbound 64 was axed, not giving him an appearance until ''Mother 3'', which was also delayed, so [[Nintendo]] decided to keep him out.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/flash/0717/index.html

Lucas was announced on [[Smash Bros. DOJO!!]] to be a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' on October 1, 2007. His attacks are similar to Ness's attacks in ''Melee''.<ref name="dojo">{{Cite web |url=http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/lucas.html |title=Lucas |date=2007-10-01 |accessdate=2007-11-08 |work=[[Smash Bros.

Loosely translated, Sakurai states that Ness was intended to be replaced by a MOTHER3 character (presumably Lucas) in Melee, but since MOTHER3 had been delayed--indefinitely, at the time--Ness returned for SSBM.  Whether or not this means he will replace Ness in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' or not has yet to be seen.

[[Lucas (SSBB)|Lucas]] has been confirmed to be a new playable character for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. His [[Special Moves]] have also been updated on the Dojo. The majority of Lucas' Special Moves are much like Ness' moves from the previous two games. How this affects Ness' chances of being a playable character in Brawl is unknown, although it is stated on DOJO!! that Ness "has appeared in the Smash Bros. series '''up until now'''," leading some to believe that this means that he will be replaced with Lucas, as was apparently intended in ''Melee''; however other updates on DOJO! have used "up until now" to refer to things still in the series [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/howto/technique/technique02.html] [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/various12.html].
It is possible that [[Ness]] will still return, as they describe how his moves slightly differ from Ness, indicating he could be a [[clone character]].
