Social PK Love - Lucas Social Thread: “Inside the mailbox was absolutely nothing”

[GreninjaTwo]

Got Roy, and he's pretty sexy. They more semi-cloned him this time around and I'm happy.

 

[NekoJubei]

Lucas has NO short hop cancels...
Wow.

 

[NekoJubei]

Lucas's Nair is so useful for gimping :o

 

[XCounter]

RIP Magnet Pulls and Zap Jumping. We hardly knew ya.

Wavebounces are still here though. Also have double PKT2 just like Ness.

Also, god DAMN the uair hitbox is bad.

PSI Magnet is so good omg

 

[XCounter]

It's really strong, yeah.

Sad that we can't pull, though. Can't be as flashy anymore :[

 

[Icedragonadam]

Lucas's alt trophy in the 3DS version is the Masked Man alt doing his up aerial I think.

 

[FullMoon]

All right guys Lucas get. I'll be recording my blind adventure in For Glory with him soon.

 

[TumblrFamous]

I'm doing great in For Glory with Lucas! I need to do better against characters like Mario and Kirby, though.

 

[Milo AKA Papa]

Most people forgot about Lucas with the leaks yesterday, but don't worry baby I haven't forgotten you B)

 

[Mysteltainn]

Got all the characters a bit ago and went messing about with Lucas online a bit. I don't know how I feel yet, although he's super fun to use! I think I've been playing Ness so long that I'm going to have to make some adaptations. I'm liking Lucas' D-Tilt and D-Air quite a lot, and to me, he feels like he has less of the clunkiness that he had in Brawl.

 

[NekoJubei]

Alright I found some stuff
He DOES have jab lock moves which are sour FAir and sour FTilt..
Only lock on low percent tho...
Down Throw true combos into Spike Back air
Edit: Down Throw combos into Up Smash at low to mid percents.

 

[notbenny]

Anyone that has Lucas can you confirm this real quick?
Can he Double PK Thunder against the wall like Ness ?

Yep

 

[skeletonboxers]

Thundersliding, Magnet Pulling, and Zap Jumping are all gone.

You would think Lucas would have it because Ness does :/
edit: ness lost it too

 

[Lochy]

Down throw combos into short hop up air at low percents and full hop at high percents. This can be performed until 53 percent on another lucas.

 

[Mike_Tha_Hero]

Ness is my secondary, how's it like alternating between him and Lucas? Similar to Mario x Dr?

Lucas has so many options out of his down throw is amazing

 

[Odd_0ne]

pk fire's recoil can help with recoveries and landing mix-ups

 

[NekoJubei]

You can't gimp Lucas, he recovers from everywhere you are forced to spike him
Also Lucas's Back Throw killed Bowser near the ledge at 90% with 130% rage lol.

 

[FullMoon]

Figures after I record some Lucas footage something goes wrong and I lose all of it

Anyway, still going to do a "Day 1 Lucas" video.

 

[Mike_Tha_Hero]

You can definitely gimp Lucas lol. Same as Ness.

 

[TumblrFamous]

I'm so used to Ness's recovery, this is hard.

 

[Odd_0ne]

idk y but its hard for me to get dthrow follow ups on fg?

 

[Odd_0ne]

I don't think Lucas gets gimp as hard as ness

 

[NekoJubei]

Lucas's BackThrow near the ledge killed Ness at 75% with 130% rage wtf lol
I LOVE IT

 

[DarkDrifloon]

Ness is my secondary, how's it like alternating between him and Lucas? Similar to Mario x Dr?

They are more different than Mario and Dr. you can't even use the moves that they share the same way

 

[Andinus]

this adjustment is gonna be harder than i thought... Okay... I am NOT playing as Ness.. I am NOT playing as Ness..

 

[BlazGreen]

Magnet is crazy good. Hardly any startup or cooldown and and absorbs a lot of health.

 

[Odd_0ne]

Is it me or does Lucas pk thunder has more lag than ness when grounded?

 

[NekoJubei]

After using Ness for awhile....
Recovering with PK2 as Lucas can be silly lmao I just PK2 under the stage and died

 

[ilysm]

Okay, got my hands on him for a while. Impressions:

• Dthrow is nuts and the amount of options he has out of it are also nuts
• NAIRPLANE
• Still struggles against ranged characters
• A read with an usmash gets hella rewards
• nOTHING AUTOCANCELS WTH
• Zap jump is gone, but if I'm seeing this correctly Lucas can do a Firebound much like Ness (I've pulled off some sneaky edgeguards like this)
• Tether is redonkulous
• Zair is silly and fun and nets you nothing
• seriously nair nair nair nair nair
• Dair doesn't really force a knockdown at low percents, haven't gotten a chance to try locking yet
• Bair spike feels easier? And it's amazing to land
• Animations are cute as all hell

All in all, Lucas is super super super fun. It's good to have you back, buddy. <3

 

[Snackss]

What are some things that you should be doing as Lucas? Should you ever really use PK FIre on the ground outside of a punish?

 

[DarkDrifloon]

The first thing I did after downloading Lucas was going for glory and I'm doing pretty good even when I don't know too much about techniques

 

[Odd_0ne]

Lucas d-smash hits behind him on seconded hit!

 

[Hazzuh]

I don't think he is as good as Ness but he's definitely more fun IMO. He seems like he'll be a beast at edgeguarding people, he has so many options.

 

[NekoJubei]

Down Throw Back Air kills at 50% near the ledge

 

[Bedoop]

• Tether is redonkulous

Say "Fuzzy Snakes".

 

[Deidara]

Lucas is so good in this one
(then again I said Mewtwo was good...)
So many combos! Dair and Nair can combo into Utilt if you land before the last hit. this kills mid-weights at around 140%!
F-throw, B-throw, and U-throw all kill pretty nicely. D-throw combos a lot which is awesome
He can gimp so good with Bair and Dair
can't find many uses for PK Fire though.

@Jigglystep let me know when you wanna play =)


Also, why doesn't Suzaku Castle have Guile's theme? what the hell...
and I don't care what anyone says, Ryu was a stupid inclusion.

 

[meleebrawler]

Fair is a kill move at reasonable percents if sweetspotted. And utilt is a crazy OOS move like ZSS.

 

[Snackss]

PK Fire does a lot of damage, knocks people around, can wall people out with good spacing. Seems good to me, though not sure how to play Lucas overall.
