Super Smash Bros. Brawl/Lucas



Lucas relies on his special attacks a lot, but that doesn't mean he can't hold his own in a close range fight. His side smash is fast and weak, however Lucas's best asset is his upward smash, even if it is a little slow; dealing over thirty damage when charged and combining it with a high, straight up knockback.

PK freeze is a nice move for damage dealing, because frozen foes take more damage than others, but don't forget that PK freeze gets a movement boost in the direction Lucas is facing, so aim appropriately. PK fire isn't very useful, but it's good for repelling charging enemies and hitting groups of enemies. PSI magnet is also very useful, being that it is one of the few things in the game that can restore HP without items. Use it against any energy based attack, and you get a large amount of HP back. Watch out though, it doesn't work against non-energy projectiles, such as link's arrows or Samus's missiles, and it never works against melee attacks. You can also use PSI magnet to repel your enemies if they are close by; if you release the button, turning off the magnet, any enemies that are within range will be thrown horizontally and take a small amount of damage. Lucas's best trick is his PK thunder. It is easy to control and deals good damage (especially if you hit them multiple times with one projectile). Like Ness, you can become perform a flying electric tackle, dealing heavy damage and great knockback, by aiming the projectile at yourself (it doubles as a recovery move!).

Some other good strategies are:
 * 1) Short jump, then press.
 * 2) Freeze with, then jump and use.

Lucas has amazing Projectiles. PK Freeze is easier to move than PK Flash, which means greater range to freeze people. PK Thunder causes flinching but can be used to hit more then once. PK Fire doesn't cause continuous damage but can be used to send foes flying. It also can only be shot horizontally, unlike Ness where you can jump and shoot diagonal down. Smash is one of the best smash attacks in the game. His Wooden Stick can be used to deflect which is nice. Lucas's PSI Magnet only covers half of his body; however, if you get hit with an energy projectile while Lucas has the PSI magnet facing the other direction, he automatically turns around with the magnet and absorbs it. Lucas is one of those characters that if you miss with his throw you lose time that could be used attacking or at least defending. His Final Smash can be dodged but if you get hit by one of them you'll get hit by more.

Final Smash
PK Starstorm: Lucas unleashes PSI star power, which comes as a starstorm, filling stages, but on big stages they are more spread apart, so it's easier to dodge. This attack unleashes about 14-18 stars, each doing around 17% damage, a little less then Ness's PK Starstorm. An average player will take about 30-50%, and a good player will take 30% damage.
