There were quite a bit a people who thought the return of Lucas was unlikely. He's here now so here's the "I was wrong thread"

I honestly thought he wasn't coming back, especially when his specials were customs for Ness. :crying:
But Daddy Sakurai proved me wrong. :chuckle:

I was surprised! I semi-mained Lucas lst game, and while I thought it would be cool for him to be in the game, I didn't think he would be. I'm glad I was wrong though; he's probably to be a secondary for me.

Shocked yet extremely happy Lucas is coming back. He didn't deserve to be cut in the first place!

More love for Earthbound!

I was wrong but I wasn't salty over his being cut. I just moved on. Still glad he's back.

I honestly didn't see this one coming at all! Apologies, Lucas fans!
I'm certainly glad they decided to bring him back though, as while I wasn't a big Lucas player, I did have respect for the guy. Plus it's great to see Sakurai pleasing the fans! First Mewtwo, now this and the Fighter Ballot!?! Much hype!!! ^^

Even though we've learned countless times that Sakurai is unpredictable, I thought FOR SURE this time that Sakurai would NEVER include Lucas again! My friend who was a Lucas main is gonna shaq his pants over this.
In Brawl, Lucas was my least played character, I only ever saw him as a clone who was lower on the tier list than Ness. And I never got over how, in brawl's subspace universe timeline, he gets Ness turned into a statue and runs away. I didn't wanna play as such a cowardly character. But in this trailer, Lucas was the hero. Having never played Mother 3 I don't know anything about Lucas, but I think this trailer was more fitting of the hero of Mother 3. This time coming to the rescue of Ness. I might actually give him a chance this time.

I had already given up all hope. This might actually top last year's April Fool's day present (when Homestarrunner.com broke its 5 year hiatus).

When did April 1st become such a nice day?

I was so sad to see lucas not get revealed during the potd.

But now I'm super ecstatic that he is dlc ( I initially opposed dlc, but since These are veterans and not newcomers im ok with it.)

LUCAS!!!!!!! My brawls third (or fourth) best character is back for more!

On release, I was so pissed that Lucas and Wolf weren't going to be in Smash 4 since they were both my Brawl mains, and I thought that was it, but part of me saw atleast one of them coming back after the first DLC announcement, and I swear, I had never been more happy at the announcement of DLC for anything ever. I'm just so damn glad that any DLC is in at all, not just Lucas, but Mewtwo and any other characters that may be coming, too.

Fingers crossed for more, I say.

We'll definitely be getting more after Lucas, the only question right now is who/which ones?

I was wrong.

I honestly expected Wolf over Lucas. But Lucas being back is still fun.

Though, like how I prefer Earthbound to Mother 3, I still like Ness better then Lucas.

Still, glad people can be happy.

I was wondering why he was cut in the first place, since Sakurai was so eager to put him in instead of :nessmelee: :ness2:. Twice.

But yeah, I thought Mewtwo was going to end up being the only DLC character. So glad I was wrong.

Well I'm not going to spoil Mother 3 for you because I do recommend you take a look at it, even if you never play it, but the whole majority of Mother 3 is about how Lucas must come out of the shell he went into after the traumatic events of his childhood to become the hero. That's why Smash depicts him as going from running away from his fears but eventually overcoming them and saving Ness in Smash 4. He learns to become the hero in his own games, as he has in Smash.

I thought that Lucas had no chance of getting in Sm4sh after all that transpired.

Then the Nintendo Direct came.

I thought Lucas would never come back. I saw him as a clone but that was dumb since he has some different moves from Ness. I'm surprised he got in first before Wolf IF Wolf ever returns.

I'm really conflicted right now, Lucas was my brawl main. I loved playing him and he was great. I was devestated when he was removed.

But...

I moved on, I found Zelda and I've gotten really far with her. I have fun with her too. I really don't know right now.

Ever since they announced Mewtwo, I said to myself "there's someone else". They made it sound like they were really far along on him, and the amount of time it was taking to get him out the door just seemed off. Not even two days ago I discussed the possibility of them announcing or just slipping someone else under our nose, and I was right, which feels hella better than being wrong.

Granted, I didn't expect it, but I kept hope alive.

I've switched mains every game for one reason or another. I dropped Marth for Lucas because I have a deeper connection with Lucas as a character, and feel more motivated to do well with him (and I didn't really like how Marth felt in Brawl). When MegaMan was shown off, I knew who my main would be this game, Lucas or no Lucas. I almost feel the same way, except instead, I finally have a secondary who I can feel like is my main, instead of a character I picked up solely to deal with characters my main can't deal with - and judging by how similar Lucas looks to his Brawl play, I have one that I know like the back of my hand.

Edit: Also I only just realized @ Macchiato Macchiato , I'm pretty sure we played in Capps' tournament last Sunday and you thoroughly ruined my Ike. I should've just stayed MegaMan. Teach me the secrets of not getting ruined by Farore's Wind sometime, gives me the most trouble in the world in the MegaMan/Zelda matchup.

I loathed Lucas in Brawl yet somewhat missed him when he didn't come back. I didn't think he would make a return, but I don't mind being wrong at all.

I was never against Lucas returning, I just thought Wolf had a better chance. Now that Lucas is back, I feel like Wolf is all but confirmed at this point. More characters is never a bad thing, and it's always good to see a veteran back from the dead. Congratulations.

As someone who played Mother 3 and as an occasional Lucas player in P:M (not so much Brawl), I'm happy to see Lucas's fans get their main back. Plus it's good that we're not only wrong about his inclusion but also the theory that Mewtwo was the only DLC fighter, giving hope to other veterans and newcomers.

So for all the Mewtwo and Lucas mains out there, have a PSI-filled day!

I clung to hope, but I sometimes wondered if I was in denial and totally biased.

So, so happy to be proven wrong. My favorite character in gaming history is back.:4lucas:
Well...i'll cry anyway :p
Yes, I loved that nod. And the end where he runs from Duck Hunt filling the Boney role to a Claus palette Lucas. That entire trailer made up for Mother 3 getting shafted compared to the other Mothers in spades.

I was wrong. Ness had Lucas's moveset in customs. I thought that was the nail in the coffin.

I wasn't completely confident in his return, but I supported him, now he's in, and all I need to be satisfied is Wolf.

Nintendo would have to be staffed completely by lunatics to waste time in a Direct just to pull the wool over people's eyes. Besides, this is still Sakurai we're talking about, and the man has gone on record saying that pointless trickery isn't the kind of stuff he does.

Honestly, I decided to trust Sakurai in his saying he refused to make any DLC after Mewtwo. I took his word, and he lied to me and I'm so damn happy he did.

Please never tell the truth again, Sakurai!
