The reason why this place is a bit inactive... is because most character boards are, really. Sadly it's the truth. Most people use the character discords.
That is a downright shame. The only active social by far is hands down the Zelda social. But hey, we gotta spread the sass. :secretkpop:

Hey, friends!
...I'm gonna take another very long (and to be honest, hopefully permanent) break from this forum.
I'm finally gonna stop dancing around it and join the Marcina discord. You can find it here. Just find the Lucina discord in there. It's the same as the Marth's.
If you guys wanna add me on Discord to talk to me, go ahead! I'm BW | FamilyTeam#3790

Did Kogarasuma drown in pools? Since I heard he managed to cause an upset against S2H who plays Meta Knight in Singles.

Was hoping he'd make Top 32, but one other character did make Top 32 which I'm happy for.

He got 65th or something along those lines. Its a good start for him, I feel like he can only go up from here. Also NAKAT almost reverse 3-0'd VoiD so Lucina actually did get used in the top 32s.

Haven't heard of C-Lu before and since Zero's video on the best Lucina.
Also I think C Lu moved to a different region and hasnt played in tourney as much

I wonder if we'll see Lucina do well at another major tournament this year.
Depends on whether NAKAT wants to pull out the Lucina. Also depends on how already existing Lucina players (Koga, LordXav1er, Nika, etc) do

Hello, all.

I've recently picked up Lucina and I've been trying to learn more about her (MUs, combos, etc.). I was wondering where I can look for some Lucina specific stuff.

Bit late on this reply. If you want to learn about combos/strings/conversions, you can talk with FamilyTeam FamilyTeam . He has quite a bunch of information in regards to Lucina.

It's been a few weeks since I picked up Lucina. I gotta say, she's a blast to play as! So many options and so many ways to play as her. This character is truly versatile and great. I'm glad I switched to her.

One question, though. Is it worth it to practice A-Landing with Lucina? I know n-air has the least amount of landing lag, but it seems like u-air has a very short window for autocanceling.

I am not even sure if she can do that, I don't think her moves autocancel at the start to allow her to do that.

A-landing with Marth and Lucina isn't really beneficial. The only moves they have that can auto-cancel before the hitbox comes out are Bair, Uair and Dair, and you have frames 1 and 2 in which to do so.

Even so, you don't gain anything from getting a successful A-land. You're better off learning when to fast fall to auto-cancel as quickly as you can (Bair is really good when fast fallen and AC'd).

Uair's AC frame is relatively strict (our SH air time is 41 frames, and Uair's AC frame is 38>), but don't be fooled, as 14 frames of landing lag is still relatively low. Spaced at max range on landing, it's safe.

It's thanks to the low landing lag that falling Uair is a good combo starter/extender.

Thanks for the tips. Yeah, I've been thinking that fast-fall to autocancelling would be important in neutral. I'll try to practice on that.

I'll also keep in mind about u-air being a landing option. But exactly how safe is it? Is it "Lucario-backair" safe or just relatively safe to the point where it can be punished if timed very carefully?

Perhaps I confused you a little, sorry!

You can use landing Uair as a combo starter/extender. What I mean about it being safe, is say, if your opponent sees it coming and shields it, so long as you space it at max range, it's safe; as in the opponent can't punish you for hitting their shield with it. This is because the landing lag is relatively low and you can react before they can.

Some of the better things to do if this happen include using Jab or Dolphin Slash (provided you have a platform to land on to prevent punishes) to stuff opponent's attempts to attack you. Dancing Blade could also work in this scenario but Jab is arguably better.

For clarification purposes, in what particular scenario? Against opponents shield, when you simply miss and land and they are close, etc.?
Opponent's shields. More importantly, run-up shielding.

I see. Thanks for the response. I'll definitely mess around with this option.

I felt the need to come back to discuss Marcina after ZeRo's vídeo and decided to stick around for the tier list. I'm alright! It's good to see Lucina 18th place - that's good progress!
After I feel like the fire on this subject dies down again, though, I'll come back to my shell and leave this account inactive once again.

Both my mains have really climbed the tier list. I've never been happier playing Lucina and Mewtwo. They're really fun, solid characters!

I am really glad with her current position because that's more or less how strong the character can be.
It is unjustified results-wise, but this list seems to ignore results (Bayo 1st, ZSS out of Top 10 and almost out of the tier, among other contradictions).

Just wait until people remember to camp out Marcina... We're probably going to fall down again.

Hello everyone.

We have a hitbox visualization thread for Lucina, but not for Marth.
There's this gif that shows it for both, though.
Would anyone happen to know who is the author of this image and/or how this can be replicated in any way?

Kon'nichiwa to y'all! Hope y'all sugar pies have room for another new Lucina user. Now, I was astonished that she finds herself in the high tiers at this time. "Well all right, Lucina's moving on up in the world," I said to myself.

Right...that inspired me to make her one of my main/secondary fighters. Not to mention she looks pretty when she cuts people with her blade. *sigh* Let me tell y'all, Sakurai-san and crew rock for putting her in this game. :love:

So I am almost done with my course now.

Got an exam at the start of June and then I have about four months off. :yeahboi:

Also, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is so much fun. <3
