Lucas vs Ness

Which would you prefer

We're in the Lucas boards for a reason.

ROTFL. Nice, isn't it obvious.

I thought that was a girl in your avatar, marth marth marth.

I like Lucas more, btw (pretty obvious).

My older bro thinks ness is better, but lucas has more attacks to be uses in different situations and I just think he has more depth to him. His recovery is much better than ness's too and he might be weaker but most of his attacks come out fast and in some case are stronger, actually I Think all of lucas's smashs are stronger. But in the air ness's headbutt aka his best move is way better

Ironically, I like Ness more as a character. Lucas is more fun for me to play, though.

 

[Mechavergil]

Lucas, hands down

 

[Jihnsius]

but lucas has more attacks

Yeah, they added a new button to the Wii just to activate this entire new moveset for Lucas, too. It's conveniently located right below the power button on the system. It's considered really cheap to use this new moveset, somewhat like Zelda's down+B in Melee, but it almost always prevents the opponent from winning a match.

I personally use both Ness and Lucas for different reasons. I use Ness when I'm facing tougher opponents 'cause he's easier to get out of sticky situations than Lucas. Even though Lucas is a bit slower, he still packs more of a punch than Ness. Either way I like 'em both.

 

[PK Starstorm]

I can't decide. I like em both. Lucas is really fun to play with, while ness is beastly with damage.

Ooh, yeah, that's a good one.

I've been trying to incorporate that into my playing style recently. I think someone should post this in the Tactical Discussion section.

I have hated Ness since SSB64, I picked up Lucas and gave him a try and he is now one of my favorite characters in all of the SSB's. I still hate Ness.

1. I made a thread like this about 2 months ago
2. Most people will probably pick Lucas, since it is the LUCAS boards
3. After playing the game, I can say that you really can't compare them. They feel like two totally different character. Pretty much all 12 of lucas's physical attacks are different (A, side tilt, Utilt, Dtilt, side smash, Usmash, Dsmash, Nair, Fair, Bair, Uair, and Dair) are completely different from ness's. Their 4 specials are SIMILAR, but don't really compare. PK flash and freeze are ALIKE, but have different results. PK fire are different from each other. PSI magnets are slightly different; Lucas's damages the opponent, but only covers from both sides. Ness does not hurt the opponent with it, but covers from both sides. PK thunders are a lot more different than people think... the only way you can compare them is that both Lucas AND Ness have to hit themselves with it to get a boost (third jump), but other than that, really different.

Even though they don't really compare well, I would pick Lucas over Ness.

Lucas. Amazing tilts. Countless moves that trip opponents. Ridiculously long and controllable PK Thunder. Spammable PK Fire. And the glitchiest character in the game so far. What's not to love?

This is pretty much my answer. Though I wouldn't go so far as to say I hate Ness, I just don't like his play style. But Lucas takes all the very few things I like about Ness, gets rid of everything I don't, and improves him into a character I love. PK Thunder is easy to control, PK Fire is intuitive now that it goes straight even while in mid-air, Psi Magnet can damage foes and is just plain superior, tether grab, psi hexagons on his attacks extending their reach, all of his smash attacks can kill below 100% - I just can't think of anything Ness has I like more than what Lucas does. At all.

[TechnoMonster]

I just love PK Thunder

 

[GenisSage]

Lucas ofcourse but Ness is right behind him

 

[shadowfox2769]

(me being a former marth main)

 

[HighInDaSky]

lucas's moves look cooler

 

[Mysta]

lucas's moves look cooler

thread over

 

[Aevin]

I show no favoritism whatsoever to either of them. If one is listed as my first favorite and the other is listed as my second in game, I'll play with the second favorite until he becomes the first, and then switch.

 

[C.Y.]

lucas is ftw.

 

[Levitas]

Aevin, if you never use your favorite, you're depriving yourself. Your plan sucks. I like my plan: Play one until you hate them, then switch. It's a love-hate relationship. As in I love to hate the character I'm not currently playing.
