Whenever I watch team tourneys, I always watch for moments when the fighters chain moves together into an effective offense. But when watching some other tourneys, certain teams will look more or less cohesive. That got me wondering. Who is the best partner for each character? Well, since I’m a casual Brawler, and I don’t have the expertise to judge, so why not ask the experts? I originally tried this on GameFAQs, but the users in general were immature, or not qualified to give the information. Then I remembered the specific boards on Smashboards, so I brought the poll here. So who do you think the best partner is for Lucas?

Rules:

- The poll will last for a week. If it becomes popular, it may last longer.
- You may only vote for one character.
- Assume friendly fire is on.
- Assume there are no items.
- After posting your answer, give a detailed reason why you choose that character. If you don’t give viable information, your vote will not be added.
- You may ask to change your vote if you have a viable reason.
- Discussion on your choices is allowed. NO FLAMES!!!
- If you vote Pokemon Trainer, you must discuss details for all his pokemon.
- If you vote on the Pokemon Trainer poll, you must discuss details for all his pokemon.
- If you want to use videos to explain your reasoning, feel free to post them, but remember. I play this game casually, so you have to explain what parts of the video are important and why they are important.
- You may vote on multiple polls.
- If issues occur, I may add or remove rules, so be sure to review the list.

Ness and Lucas really do work well together being able to self heal and both have great kill moves (lucas on the ground and Ness in the air)

But probably Zelda, Dins fire can heal for sojifsdofijsdofai alot.

Lucario seems to fit the bill. Solid game all around, can heal, and he doesn't lose out to Lucas's worst match-ups.

I vote G&W for best partner since you can instantly give him a free bucket of instant kill.

Anyone that has good range and a decent air game can compliment lucas well imo.
I think that makes Zamus a good candidate.
Not to mention he gets healed by her D-smash (as much as 30% ish) and she can spam it pretty freakin fast.

And stunned opponents + up-smash = epic?

Either G&W or Ness, G&W can get a full bucket and Ness can heal Lucas and visa versa.

I would choose Ness though.

My Fox played doubles with 3des as my partner, I don't know how this happend, but he upsmashed during my down throw, and I didn't get hit, while our opponent died.. made me go o.O


Pretty much, Fox down throws an opponent, during the middle of the down throw, a Lucas up smashes, and kills the opponent, and the Fox is untouched.

also when me and kanzaki played doubles;
kanzaki - mario
me - lucas

mario was a great assist towards lucas; spamming fire balls for an occasional quick heal for lucas; and reliable moves which are essential for successful teamwork.

My only concern with Ness is the whole "countered by G&W and Marth" crap.

Uh, there's more to Marth than the deathgrab. Marth is a tried-and-true counter to Ness, period.
