Hitbox visualization showing Lucas' up smash.

Overview

This article or section may require competitive expertise. You can discuss this issue on the talk page or edit this page to improve it.

Lucas' up smash is among the strongest ones in the game, but has both long startup and end lag, leaving him open for punishes. It also has decent vertical range and a deceptively lasting hitbox, which makes it useful against aerial opponents.
