Hey everyone, i was hoping i could get some constructive criticism for my Lucas.

I stopped playing Lucas for a few weeks and decided to learn meta knight, so i know im WAY out of practice. Any advice to help me get back up to par would be awesome.

If you combined the stage stuff in your first stock w/ edgeguarding from the last stock, it'd have been much better.

When you edgeguard w/ pkt, go for where they will be, not where wolf is charging his up b.

work on spacing, but yeah. I'll post again if I remember some of the other things I was gonna say.

I'm not exactly great, but I think you should play on a slightly smaller scale; instead of primarily using the killer attacks, you should try to get in more D-Airs, N-Airs, U-Tilts, and S-Tilts for some unpredictability (especially the U-Tilt). I would also try more aerial approaches. Your usage of PSI Magnet, Spot Dodges, and Grabs are well timed, so those probably don't need as much work.

A neat combo I sometimes during lower percentages is, when the opponent and Lucas are approaching the ground (with Lucas on top), or when just aerially approaching someone on the ground, is to execute a D-Air to stun them, and then do an U-Tilt to shoot them back up as soon as you reach the ground. A full hopped N-Air is a good follow up, assuming they haven't been knocked too far away.
