You make great use of Lucas's aerial and tilt attacks. I think you overuse PK Fire. However, when you do use it, you do the right thing in hopping, first. Try shooting another right when you hit the ground. You should find that the one you fire on the ground comes out much faster, because landing cancels the lag on the aerial PK Fire. I also think you should make more use of his powerful smash attacks, especially his down smash. It has good range, duration and killing power. Also look for opportunities to land grabs, since throws can set up for combos or smash attacks such as the up smash. PKT2 is a great way to gain damage on an opponent, so you could try using it more, and I didn't see you use PK Freeze even once. In some cases, especially at higher damages, chasing opponents over the edge yourself might work better than chasing with PK Thunder.

In short, you've got a good foundation but you should try harder to use his full range of moves.

I have to agree with Aevin and GKirby, you DID spam PK Fire.. And, even though i don't have Brawl yet, i'd still like to say that it took you an awfully long time to beat that mario.. Maybe you should try using some more destructive combos?
But anyways.. i can't compare really..

Yea but only in the beginning right? lol

Instead of using pk thunder try edge guarding or edge hogging, u could have killed mario much faster like that..

PK thunder is a great edgeguard w/lucas, so keep it up. That said, back airs and down airs work well too, especially right by the edge.

First rule when trying to get better, don't play against Computers. You would have been punished hard for spamming pk fire the why you did by a real player. By spamming that pk fire you lower its damage and knock back, Spamming the same attack is punished in this game. You need to mix it up, I would suggest getting more consistent with your air attacks and trying to make combos with them. You need to get them to connect a lot more then they are now. Figure out lucas' grab spacing, grabbing is very important in any of the smash games.
