Lucas Combos?

[Tony Ray]

Anybody know any really good lucas combos? I searched on the forum and couldnt really find any. One combo that I always try is d-throw> uptilt. Anybody else know any good, basic combos that I should try to incorporate into my gameplay? Thanks in advance. Also if theres another combo thread I'm sorry.

A pretty basic and easy bread and butter I use is Dthrow > Nair > Uair/Fair at low %.

At mid % you can use Dthrow > Dair, because at those percents you can only link one aerial and Dair is the one that deals the most damage of them all (15% if you land the 4 hits) and at high % you can go for Dthrow > Uair which is a kill setup, but it stops working around 120% or 100% with rage, so be carefull. Also, FYI, normally around 125 or 130 % your Uthrow kills.

You can also use Nair OoS in the neutral to punish things like slow tilts or unsafe aerials, and out of a Nair, at low percents, you can link various Nairs into a Fair to finish or you can go Nair > Utilt and then chase and follow up accordingly.

D-throw > Nair > footstool > Magnet momentum cancel > FF F-air jablock is deadly, as is SH Fair > jablock > Usmash. There's also zair > grab and D-tilt > grab, though I'm not certain about the latter.

Thanks to patch 1.1.0 D-tilt grab is guaranteed and mid percentage.

Seriously? This is fantastic news, thank you. I've been hoping for more grab conversions with this character.

It's really good but only the sourspot combo's, that said d-tilt is low risk high reward now. PP d-tilt is extremely good. Also can combo into jab and Up-tilt.

Aerials can combo again at higher percentages if you double jump quickly. Right when DThrow->Uair stops working, DThrow->Double Jump->Uair starts getting into kill territory.

I'll definitely practice this. Now if we had some decent approach and safe-on-shield options, we can rely less on reads / punishes to get these combos off.

Do you know if Zair is safe on shield? Could we Zair > Sour D-tilt > grab?

Also, where is the sourspot hitbox on D-tilt?

IIRC the late hitbox on Z-air is safe. The sourspot on D-tilt is anywhere except the tip that also jab-locks.

I found a true combo with Lucas in training mode (idk if this combo was discovered but i post it)

FF N-Air > UTilt

If you can't get the Grab at high % and can't kill you can do DTilt + UpTilt at 150+ if u can't get that kill

pk freeze > pk thunder 2

Any Airs - - - Fair || Nair || Dair

Repeat until high %

I posted a video thread a while ago about all the followups Lucas can get out of zair. Check it out!

He can also get zair to zair, but he's too high on the second one for it to combo into anything else; at least not a true combo.
