Hello today I will teach you about some tips/tricks with Lucas in SSBB. And for the record I am not the creator of Super smash brotheres brawl but I think you knew that =P
First off the PK Thunder, this move can be exicuted by pressing B and up. PK Thunder is my favorite move because it is so versatile. At first glance this move is out of the ordinary, mainly because you are able to move it easily. OK so you can make it hit your opponent multiple times doing some damage, then you can use it as your third jump as well. you make the pk thunder come around and hit it in the direction you want to go. This takes some time getting use to but after practicing, it should come as second nature. Another nifty thing you can do with pk thunder is use your third jump to actually make yourself into an electric missile hitting your opponet all while causing a great amount of damage. But this can also be fatile to you seeing as if you hit yourself off the edge you just have to die. The missile takes even longer to master than the third jump but after some practce you can obtain a great skill. The last cool trice with Pk Thunder is you can knock your opponent off the edge and then keep nailing the enemy with it till they don't come back. This is good for people like pit or kirby who can easily get back into the stage.
Lucas can also use PK Fire, this move is a short range attack and can be used to knock your enemy back a bit. What I like to do with this is dash towards the enemy roll back and do a quick pkfire out of the roll. (to execute a roll you press the shield key and left or right) This works effectively most of the time and can be a great move if executed correctly. You can also get a super jump from using it, and here is how to execute it. What you do is you jump, then when you jump again you have to jump and do pk fire at the same time and you get a super jump. I just recently learned about this move and am still trying to get it down. I am not sure how good it would be in battle but its a cool trick to impress your friends with.
Next the smash buttons. I have a bad habit of doing the up smash (a and up at same time) this one and the down one are slow and make you very vulnerable. So if you can do not use these unless you are for sure that You will knock them out or at least not miss.
Ariel attacks: Lucas has some amazing aerial attacks. One I like is when you are in air and just press (a) then you spin around with thunder forming around you. This is a good one for quick jumps/ air fighting. the next one is (a and down in air) this one allows you to do i believe 3 kicks downward. I use this one when people just wont let you get to the ground. Now for the spike! most spikes are a and down but Lucas is a little bit harder to get use to seeing as you have to pres a and the oposite way you are facing. this is hard to master and I have just started using this but each time I hit them when they are not on the stage it has been a KO for them. So it is a good efective spike.
Ok so this is a little bit about Lucas, with this you can develope your own style of fighting for me it's edging (not sure if thats the official name) but what I do is play close/off the edge and try for the quick KO's. But He is also good as a trickster. Also when creating your style you can add more moves then in these tips, these are just some of my main attacks.
