Anyone else bothered by Lucas' grab?

[motherfan]

I'd be funny to watch his snake to grab snake!
Snake gets owned by a Snake! Laugh Out Loud!

The rope snake that failed twice...

Think of his grab was Link and Samus recieving Tether Recoveries after their horrid recoveries.

Yo the snake was looking sick, but i think they are trying to make Lucas different from ness, also the grab maybe somewhat slow or not as good as ness, though we really don't know how good the grab is between both of them until we play the game.

I'm actually quite excited for Lucas' Rope Snake. It's a great homage to MOTHER 3 itself, and I think it's just a neat grab. It will certainly help offset the awkwardness of recovering with PK Thunder.

It completely helps, there's nothing bad about at first glance unless you expect Lucas to be Ness, which he isn't. Hoorah for the rope snake

I always felt sorry for the Rope Snake...

Anyway, now it's not carrying three people and a dog, only Lucas.

Yupyupyup..

hookshot length+Ness' backthrow equals godly. If you'll excuse me, I need new pants.

Win ^^ But yea, having the snake tether will help out with his recovery greatly. Being a Ness main in Melee I just loved having Ganon/C.Falcon grab me and shoot me backwards everytime I tried to PK Thunder recover.

This is news that Duster isn't going to show up... Nuuuu, Bleh still chances for claus lol

I heard that Duster is an assist trophy confirmed by the Jump Fesa demo.

meh. Any disadvantage of a ranged grab will be offset by a huge boost to edgeguarding.

Think about it, especially if DJC is out, lucas can ledge drop, double jump, bair meteor on the way up, and tether recovery to edgehog. that's better than marth's stuff in melee with ledgedropped side-b off the edge on spacies.

And it supplements recovery. All we need now is kumatora to be playable, that would be sweet.

 

[Noa.]

It seems that they did improve the grab. Though, if Ness was in, (although very unlickely), would he get his pshycic grab, or snake one. Probably the Pshycic, with more range.
Though Lucas's new grab is certainly an improvement above melee Ness.
