vs Lucas

[Xisin]

Having problems with this match up in particular the biggest problem im having is getting to him, when i do fairs to hit him he generally rolls out and pk fires, i tried rolling in and he just rolls with me and sticks me... his grab has a huge reach which is another problem i have with him. I guess the biggest issue i have is gettingto him without takinga ton of dmg and his throw.

Any advice?

What you have to do is to bait your opponent. Trick him into whatever you usually do, and do something else to punish him for his actions. For your fair approach where he rolls away and pk fires. You can just pretend you to fair by shorthopping towards him, but don't do a fair approach and land normally. Wait for him to roll which he should always do like you said, and run and grab him from there or dash atk, fair, jump infront of his pk fire and counter it, and w/e. Its just to trick him so he gets scared of doing that in the future.

In this match up you really need to space yourself really well with the tip of your sword or you get owned, especially when you're above him where his up smash is ridiculously strong.
