What routines do you do to practice movement? I definitely need to work on that. Also I don't know if you knew but Lucas' Dacus when using Z is very precise and hard to do so as the window to perform DACUS is very small. it is easier to do with the regular attack button (A) as it makes the window to perform the DACUS a lot larger but it means holding the controller in a claw position to press A and isn't to easy to do consistently or get used to in my opinion so what I did is I switched the R button to "Attack" since I never use the R button which acts as the A button, making DACUS a heck of a lot easier to do since it has the larger window as the A button gives you but feels as natural as using the Z button. Hope this helps if you didn't know this
Yeah I use the C stick. So I dash attack, tilt the control stick up and the c stick down whilst holding R which I have set to attack to act as the A button.
It is very difficult at first and when the psi magnet comes into contact with someone it creates more lag which can throw you off a little. For me I found that the best way to think about it is to try and wave dash too late or later than you think because chances are, you'll underestimate the amount of lag psi magnet has so you will probably get the timing down pretty well.
I was wondering if you could elaborate on a few things. When you say wavebounce pkf do you mean djc pkf?
I may have this wrong but I think the differences between wavebounce and b-reverse is that b-reverse simply changes the direction you to the B move in, keeping your momentum while going backwards (in the air), whereas wavebounces keeps your momentum but changes it to the opposite direction.

Depends on the situation, really. PKF is such an open-ended move because if you hit-confirm it, the opponent has done something really wrong, and thus their punishment is being immobile for a good while. Honestly, do whatever you personally get the most damage out of. However, I wouldn't recommend going for a smash, simply because once you smash the following-up ends there. Of course if they're at higher percents, that'd be different. By all means when your opponent is at high percent, any smash/dacus or grab into upthrow/dthrow-bair are good options. Something like an aerial setup or magnet will do most generally well I'd say, however.
What you're calling a B-Reverse is called Turnaround-B (or sometimes Reverse B, but Reversal-B is used to refer to B-Reversals, so it's awfully confusing): Turning around by using a special attack without changing your momentum.
Just for the record: You don't need to be dashing, just moving in a direction. Wavebounces/b-reverses can also be used in combination with DJing during DJC PKFs to get some pretty crazy flight paths.

For Lucas, try running and then jumping into magnet.
Then, try running, jumping, pressing Down B, and quickly moving the control stick to the bottom left if you're moving to the right, or to the bottom right if you're moving to the left. If done right, you should then change directions with the magnet AND keep moving, so you'll actually go backwards from your original start point. This is a wavebounce.
The inputs should look something like this.
(Dashing to the right)
(Dashing to the left)
B-reversing, however, would ignore the initial down B input in the first place. To B-reverse magnet, simply do this:
(dashing to the right)
(Dashing to the left)
Notice that you don't press
And no, by wavebounce PKF I did not mean DJC PKF. In order to wavebounce PKF, you have to be dashing (I'll use moving to the right only for this example), and then:
You need to change the direction of your c-stick very quickly or else you'll just jump forward in a straight line as you PKF. This method allows you to suddenly change the direction your PKF comes out, as well as your direction.
I'll try to upload some gifs of these later, but I hope this helps.
As for Tether cancelling, it's simply pressing the control stick away from the stage after you tether, but before you "reel it up". You will go back to normal fall, and can do any aerial move out of it (including down B).
Up B Ledge techs? I assume you mean where you carry your momentum while using PK Thunder? If so, that's just done by dashing off a platform/edge and up-Bing as you near the edge/side of a platform.
Oh I was just wondering. But yeah, it would be more of a tech guide than a full guide.. i feel like i just need to understand Lucas tech more because i already know the "basics".
well if you need a guide to double jump canceling check out this one by the lucas guru 8adge [Project M] Lucas Tutorial: DJC Aerials - YouTube
Yeah, Thanks xDwell if you need a guide to double jump canceling check out this one by the lucas guru 8adge [Project M] Lucas Tutorial: DJC Aerials - YouTube
not sure how much exactly you know about lucas but there are plenty of us around to help
