Mekos

Sup dude? Just letting you know i'm going to a tourny this weekend. I haven't played brawl in ages, but hopefully I can practice a bit for this one, scrape the rust off my arms (figuratively! ) and maybe even get a bit better hehe.

Anyway, i'll let you know how I go! ^_^

Oh wow thanks, we are getting better but I just needed to know ways to improve more.

My I have a link to your youtube assuming you uploaded the videos?

Oh wow thanks :3
You seem like a awesome guy, you probably know that I main Lucas along with Lucario.
But I wanted to ask you something, I have a friend I team with its we had our 1st team in a tourney and made it to LB4 and the team was Me as Lucas and him as IC's

The idea was since the IC's Down B those an amazing job at lowering Lucas's damage we you use our secondaries as our team mains.

I wanted to know a few things

1. Whats the best thing the you can suggest in that team?

2. With out talking what are some good ways to signal my teammate to give me a recover?

3. What would you do If my partner losses nana?

4. My teammate can do the IC's chain grab very well and if we take out the 1st enemy and his teammate has 1 stock left what can I do to help set up the chain grab?

5.while the chain grab is in place should I do?

6. Just any other general stuff I should know about?

Sorry to ask so many questions but I can see you want Lucas to do well and same with me.
Plus its better to ask the master am I right?

Oh and I thought you would like to know I'm the only Lucas user in the smash scene in my state

Hello, such an honor to meet the USA'a best Lucas ^_^

Hey Mekos, are you still looking for a teammate for SKTAR? Because so am I. I use MK, know my way around lucas, and have a pretty nasty record as far as teams goes in my native country.

Hmm, just got back from camp. Hey, I've a favour to ask. There's a certain picture of Lucas i'm looking for. It looks a little like this:



The difference is the picture is more Sepia, and in the background it says 'Lucas'. Under that it then says 'Super Smash Brothers Brawl'.

If you could find the pic for me i'd be overjoyed. ^^

I know u really wanted to play. I'm back in my city now.

:-P Guess if you're offline don't worry ^^

Hey, you up for a game?

Haha, s'alright, I can't say I expect to win, only to get better. Was practicing with my brother and was feeling horrible with Lucas. Then, In our last couple matches, got back in to the groove, so i'm feeling good ^^

I'll take down your FC, feel free to do so on mine, and when you're on just ask me. Of course lag will kill/destroy everything, so it'll actually be fairly random i imagine, unless you're good with the lag. I know it's been a long time so i'll probably fail :-P

I know online is horrible but one of these days we should have a match.

Oh and btw, that avatar of yours is awesome. :D

Well It's alright, Invisi (pit main, we have really good, close matches together) said he'll probably bring recording equipment for this one.

Ahhh, awesome! ^^ Good luck. Are you teaming up with FOW? You 2 make a great team together ^^

I'm going to my own tourny on the 14th, but It makes me wish there were big, recognized tournaments in Australia like Apex. We've got Boost, I suppose, but no-one ever seems to bring recording equipment anymore. :-P

Sup! ^^ You going to tournies soon at all? Not that I can come (i'm in australia) but I was hoping to see your meta game so i can learn from it :D

Also the Lucas general discussion's dead. :-P

I got my work schedule for the month, and it doesn't look like I'm going to be free to host a biweekly for you Sorry

You going to be free for smashfests though?

Thanks for acceptin my friend request on aib, mekos.
I like watching your lucas, very impressive.

Good what? Did I miss something?

Interested in attending the Lone Star Circuit Championships?

Whoa mobile sucks. I meant to send you "pretty darn well"

How's the Lucas going?

Hey dude, I watched your WF matches vs ESAM!! You are definitely getting there dude! We have to talk soon, idk when cuz of school, but what is your skype name? Also, I noticed some things you can improve on! but of course any advice should be taken w/ a grain of salt, but it seemed like you can do even better w/ your OOS punishes and punishes in general. It seemed like ESAM got away w/ a few things. Like you perfect shielded the last game on BF, I believe you daired and then he DI'd out & you got punished >_< Maybe go for Lucas's faster moves that can't be DI'd out of like ftilt/uptilt/fsmash? Idk you seem to be doing a good job w/ that so far, and idk how fast his moves are.

Also some ideas, maybe you could work on your grab game more. I saw that you tried to shield grab him from the ledge but you were too far...dash grab would work. I know his grab is tether and slower, but grab beats shield so you can bait/mindgame them into shielding especially since you nair them a lot(which they always shield) and mix that up in your game. Then once they try to spot dodge, you can adapt back and nair them or maybe charged f-smash?

Also, more up-b mindgames and canceled B moves from dashing? I know you seem to like that Lucas-side-b jump thing(zap jump I believe). But I saw that it only did like 8%? Maybe you could try to b-move them in the air or up-b them instead? Idk how risky or effective it is, and maybe you already have tried it, so idk, but it seems interesting. You can also cancel your dashes w/ b moves and b reversals too, so maybe you can run near the ledge and do an instant up-b to follow punish them.

Otherwise, your Lucas is really good sir! Keep up the good work, and I can't wait for our conversation!

>_> MVD is going for a fact, so....I'm good lol. I still wanna alternate between you and Kadaj.

Yeah dothatgwalk is my skype name but I won't be on today. I'll let you know of a time this week, though--in the evenings like 2morrow we can catch up.

No, I mean angling your shield ALL the time, not just vs MK's tornado. I was saying to try that. Also, how do you read your opponents now? What kinds of things do you look for? How has it improved?

Hey bro, nice job @ that last tourney where you got 7th! That's amazing for Lucas! But dude, you said that you gained some crazy reading skills recently? Please tell me, I really want to get better w/ Pit! Also bro, have you tried experimenting w/ angling your shield? I see a lot of top players do that if you pay attention to their vids. It seems like most up angle and some occasionally down angle. Try it though, it makes me feel like I'm getting better even though I'm not, lol--but thinking positive does.

Nope, he isn't. He also understands how this is a good learning experience for me and it will help us more than one extra tournament of practice.

TGM3 All day! At first my mom wanted to come up to Clemson that weekend, but I told her to come the week after so I could go to this and she was like "OK"

I'm not as good as Jason in teams, btw, but I can do a lot :D

NVM we good :D

******* apologize to me after you add him

ok, you don't have to believe me... but when i look him up he is under scooba steve -.- i didn't lie
would you prefer a link -.-

scooba steve

No problem dude. You should try posting in the thread though. Keitaro has a list of people looking for partners. He can add you to it.

He's teaming with Seibrik, who's now officially attending.

are you going to ktar yo. if ur r pick me up on the way [:

super =/, maybe next genesis haha

hey, were you at genesis 2? if you remember me, then i totally missed the chance to meet you =/

hey bro, i don't think we ever got the chance to chat after the games. Your Lucas was soo good! Did you notice anything I could work on?(If you still remember) Other tips as well, like how you bait and all that would be great too.

So question, What mixups do you have to get people to stay in shield for the shield pressure or shield drop frame traps?

Right now, the only one I have is to short hop PK Fire camp my *** off to condition shielding and then go in with the Nair > Ftilt frame trap. It works for like a stock or two, but then after that people catch on so if you had any other ideas that would be super helpful


MEKOS for Best Lucas

What are the go to and stay away from Starters to strike for the universal stage list?
And Ban / Counterpicks I should know about?
