Lucas Overview - Patch 1.1.3

[Deleted member]

An overview of what Lucas got during this latest patch and what makes it benefit him.
This is what was needed in order for him to be optimal and progress as a character.
He still has his pros and cons but nonetheless this patch was great for Lucas.
Really hope people realize his potential and start optimizing him more...

Such a shame Lucas lost his hitboxes from Brawl.

I'm not sure if this Lucas even comes close to Brawl Lucas.

We should draw the comparisons in this thread, to get a better idea what direction Nintendo is trying to take Lucas in.

Well he's no longer downtrodden by grab release shenanigans, so I'd say that automatically puts him higher than Brawl Lucas in terms of viablity.

Also, people keep saying f-tilt's active frames were increased from 7-9 to 7-10, but it was 7-8 before, not 7-9. It used to annoy the hell out me because the PSI effect would linger after the hitbox was gone lol. Just a minor nitpick.

He still has a lot of moves where this happens. Dash attack, up smash, nair, back air, down air...
