Basically, there's a tournament in Britain next week and they've pretty much banned most of the top Tiers from being selectable. Here's the list:
Mario, Donkey Kong, Link, Samus Aran, Kirby, Fox, Pikachu, Diddy Kong, Zelda, Pit, Meta Knight, Pokémon Trainer, Ike, Princess Peach, Yoshi, Ice Climbers, King Dedede, Bowser, Wario, Olimar & Lucas
My two mains have been taken out (Marth and Lucario) but I've been practising with Lucas lately primarly because the tournament will be:
Free For All
4 Players
4 Minutes
They haven't stated whether or not the stages will be random or FD only. Plus they haven't stated a rule about items. I hope to find out more tomorrow.
But by the jist of it, Lucas seems like the most sensible choice in the list. Pit's good, but he can't exactly finish people off easily unless he's in the air. So I'll need someone with good ground hitters and air hitters. That left me with Meta Knight and Lucas.
After some debating, I decided to go Lucas because most players will be expecting to come up against some Meta Knight players - so me choosing Lucas might throw them off a bit.
Basically, I know most of Lucas' main power hitters but haven't really been able to strike some combos together with him
I've been practising against Computer ATM. Usually been waiting till they reach around 70-80% then I start U-Smashing to try and hit them off.
I do try his B-Air against a recovering opponent now an again, but a lot of the time I end up missing due to them either dodging or just poor judgement on my behalf
I NEVER use his P-Freeze, I tried it my first few matches and it would just never freeze anyone! Although it did come in handy when going up against Olimar as it managed to kill a lot of his Pikmin. Is there a certain way of using P-Freeze? Or is it all down to lucckk?
I'm decent with his P-Thunder recovery, although when I'm under the stage in FD I usually end up hitting off the sides whilst other times I end up going up too far out (if that makes sense?).
Overall, I'm just looking for a few quick pointers in how to handle Lucas in a 4 Way match.
