Lucas grab release animation isn't that bad.

[PKNintendo]

He is only susceptible to a small CG by Marth. And a grab release to Downsmash by Marth.

Common myths: He is able to get grab released Fsmash by alot of characters. FALSE.
Only Marth.

Infinited by alot: false as well. Only Marth CG with pummels.

On the other hand, he can be grab released into a BUNCH of other character's other smashes/KO moves.

Like DK's dsmash, for example.

It's a significantly disadvantageous grab release.

only 2 people have a worse grab release animation, Ness and wario. how does that make his grab release not that bad? he can still get hit with attacks even if he can't be re grabbed

 

[PKNintendo]

No. This is false. Lucas can't be grabbed release downsmash. Test it out yourself!

 

[Levitas]

I hear you. will test.

 

[Ripple]

ok so its a power shield every time. but you say lucas can DI out of it right? with DK you can pivot so fast while in cargo that it is too hard to tell which way you can get out for your DI to be used effectively. and 1 mess up = free d smash

 

[prOAPC]

can we get a frame data that could tell us when can Lucas react after a grab release?

 

[Levitas]

I'll see about that in the near future. Perhaps this weekend.
