And the best partner for Lucas in doubles is...

Lucas. This seems broken. Fully charged Samus neutral B recovers for the same about btw.

Sorry for bad quality. Just did it in a minute.

 

[XOSugar]

I can also confirm that at point blank range with no charging, this will still recover 23% as opposed to 30 fully charged. The difference is negligible.

How much would a PK Flash heal?

30% - it's the max.

 

[XOSugar]

30% - it's the max.

This. But it is a lot slower since PK flash arcs upward first. On another note, each of Fox's lasers and Megamans jab pellets recover 5%. That is very easy quick healing. The second you get a chance to breathe in a team fight, boom, 15%.

Also the down-b has a hit box upon release, so you can effectively neutralize dash attacks by just letting go of down-b. It's pretty lulzy.

 

[Odd_0ne]

In my exp, the timing to punish a dash attack with magnet is really time strict for me at least.

 

[MrWhYYZ]

Ness is really good as well. PK freeze heals ness for 30% and Ness's PK thunder heals Lucas for 23%

Actually, Pikachu's Thunder heals about 40~42.

 

[MillionGoldMan]

Actually, Pikachu's Thunder heals about 40~42.

Wait what?!

 

[BlueberrySyrup]

Wait what?!

My dubs partner is a Pikachu, and we discovered that Pikachu heals 40~42 % PER thunder. LOL

I still think Fox and Mega man are the best for pure utility. 5% for a laser is just ludicrous.

Thunderbolts heal like 14% and Pikachu is just all around really good. I kinda prefer Pika, especially with the combos we can pull off.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this breaks the cap because Pikachu's thunder has multiple hits, right?

Yea, i thought you couldn't absorb thunder? Don't bash me, i don't know nothin.

 

[Putuk]

OP is full of lies.

OBVIOUSLY the best partner in doubles for Lucas is Claus!

 

[BlakDragon]

What do you guys think of Lucario as Lucas's teammate? Lucas could perform the role of stock tank while Lucario plays aggressively & heals Lucas with uncharged aura spheres, both of which become more effective as his aura grows stronger.

Taiheita and Gomamugitya (Lucas and Lucario players respectively) were one of the best Japanese teams in Brawl, and defeated even double MK teams at the time. Although neither of those fighters play quite like their Smash 4 iterations, I still like to think those two can be a pretty scary team, at least in theory.

 

[Darklink401]

I like to think Lucas and Villager play as well together as Ness and Villager.

I wonder how much a pocketed PK thunder or fire heals...

 

[BigHairyFart]

They heal 12 and 14, respectively.

 

[NekoJubei]

Doesn't Palutena's Heavenly Light heal Lucas by 90%? Rofl

 

[ephOE]

Aside from healing, Ness is actually a decent partner for Lucas in doubles. They cover each other fairly well.

 

[Lochy]

Pikachu's thunder heals 40%? Sweet now I can do doubles with my friend in tournament

 

[Lunacywastaken]

Lucario. The End

If you haven't seen the Umebura doubles tournament's Lucas and Lucario, that would explain this.

Or a reflected, then pocketed tree...

No replies to this comment, my god. Taiheita and Gomamugitya are still godlike with Lucas/Lucario in Smash 4, even though Lucas has been nerfed in a lot of ways.
