With Shulk though, most Diddys get a healthy lead on me. I never talked about it because I made an oath to drop the character. Lmao
I don't think you should let yourself be controlled by public opinion on it too much. If you enjoy playing him then play him, I don't think there's anything wrong with that in the slightest.

But if you're committing time to Shulk ("NOW IT'S SHULK TIME") then yeah it's up to you.

I don't enjoy playing the character

I play him because I troll people with him

But seriously: that bair. It almost looks like it the hit drags the opponent toward the spike point, so it's a little bit easier to land.

Holy crap. I cannot believe he's back. Before the game release I was trying to remain positive yet knowing in the back of my mind he'd be cut, but I really didn't consider Sakurai would actually add him later on as DLC. I am so incredibly happy and cannot wait until June. :)

As much as I'd hoped that Lucas would get a moveset more accurate to his in-game self, I'm too floored that he's back and as a separate character instead of a Ness alt and still looks similar to his Brawl self sans now having a longer Rope Snake to boot to be upset.

...eh. I still wish he had some new special moves, like "Offense Up."
How about not.....
Believe it or not, I really hate how PM Lucas plays. He is absolutely no fun for me in PM.... He is the most butchered character in PM, and while I like that it adds something canon.... It still took away his fun moveset.....

Question for you, did you Photoshop that glorious HD Lucas in your signature with the Boney shirt or are those floating around somewhere that I could steal? Lol. I suck at Photoshop so I wouldn't be able to make one.

Edit: Never mind totally stalked your profile and saw you found it on Twitter lol.

I like everything else being unchanged but I'm not the happiest about Freeze returning either unless it's been buffed to not be worthless. From the 4 or 5 times I've played PM, I've liked Offense Up though so I was hoping for something maybe like that.

What is fun about playing as an easier Ness that fights nothing like he is in MOTHER 3/EarthBound Final for the GBA?

He should be buffing his physical offense & defense. He can't use elemental powers.

Bleh. Time to run through the day on four hours of sleep. You guys kept me up all night with Lucas. I'd go back to sleep because it's Friday but I chose to stay up so late on a day I actually had to do stuff...

That stuff is re-play Mother 3.

Anyways, hi. @ Shaymikyu Shaymikyu has the best picture of Lucas ever - Boney alt, smiling Lucas, amazing stage, and that adorable pose. It's amazingly amazing :4lucas:

Ness can't use elemental powers either.
He's just as uncanon as Lucas. Of which, this is Smash. Robin can use nosferatu as a tactician, Ganondorf doesn't use a sword nor magic, ect. They aren't exactly meant to be "their characters", they are more representatives of their series. Of which, Lucas still fights the way he does in Mother. He uses a stick, Pk Love, pulls needles, ect.
My beef with PM Lucas is that they took away his amazing hitboxes on his smash attacks. Unless Lucas uses offense up.
This decreases the importance of PK Love, (Lucas's down and up smashes).
They took away what made Lucas fun to play in Brawl, they nerfed his Smashes, pm Lucas is just terrible....

Honestly, I like PM Lucas but for very different reasons to Brawl's. Offense Up made him a much more tactical character and with the buffs on his non-Smash moves, he had a lot more options. I liked the idea of having to work more tactically and strategically to get the kill. But that's just me.

Same! I'm so glad it made it into Smash.
If there's any song that I ever wanted to come back to the series the most. It's Fountain of Dreams. THAT'S THE TRUE GOAT

I mean I don't really care for his current moveset but I do think it'd be really cool if he could use some of his own unique skills. It would be pretty cool how they implement Defense / Offense Up or any of his healing abilities. Well I'm truly grateful they didn't give him a counter...

I don't really know much about Project M but I do watch a lot of competitive matches on all the Smash game so I just kind of go like "Wow that's cool" when I don't know what's going on but I love PM Lucas. I was watching some Pink Fresh yesterday and he looks extremely fun but than again a lot of characters in the game look fun like Donkey Kong and Roy.

I've only played PM a few times but yeah, Lucas and Roy are great fun! Pink Fresh is an amazing player too, and I hope he starts playing Lucas in Sm4sh. He's one of the few players whose matches I watched for Brawl so it'd be cool to see him play my fave Smash game with my fave Smash character.

If we got Dream Land 64 and FoD back, I'd go insane. We'd have two amazing Kirby stages, one that'd look AMAZING in HD, crazy good music and three legal Kirby stages.

We need more Earthbound stages before we add back in Kirby ones, though.

Does anyone have the feeling that Lucas may have already been partially developed early in the games development before being put on low priority to focus on newcomers? I theorize the same happened with Wolf based on Sakurais' comment on not wanting to cut veterans 2 years back.

I feel that Lucas was already partially developed before they decided he would be dlc and finished him up, it makes a lot of sense.

Do you know where I could find any of his other Brawl Lucas games if there are any? The only ones I'm able to find online (for Lucas in general, freaking ridiculous) is Pink Fresh VS Logic (Olimar). And it'd be awesome to see him play in Sm4sh so we can learn all of his secret Lucas techs :3

FoD is all I want and in terms of EB stages, I just want Magicant and New Pork City, maybe an additional Mother 3 stage would be really awesome as well.

I was actually assuming that as well. I said in another thread that putting Lucas as an alternative costume was possibly the most obvious thing you could've done considering Olimar & Alph and Bowser Jr & all the Koopalings. Like there would have been literally no reason not to include Lucas as an alternate for Ness unless they planned on bringing him back. Of course back than I didn't really consider that idea because no Ms. Pac-Man or Protoman Mega Man :(

Not seen either of these before so I dunno if they're any good. Here's Mekos vs. Gluttony as well, which is an awesome match:

EDIT: Put it under a spoiler tag to save space.

Omg I love you so much for this, when I tried to find some like two days ago it was just filled of Chipmunk Gaming (a non-competitive Smash channel) and well random stuff. I searched like the first four / five pages and was convinced that there were simply no Lucas players in Brawl so ily so much for this.

I know you're probably not joking but no I would not like this at all. Not only would it be disappointing to know Nintendo is rushing their characters and not putting much time into it, it would also mean they would have to have patch(s) to either fix him / balance him.
