Template:SSB4 to SSBU changelist/Lucas: Difference between revisions

*{{change|Lucas has a new [[idle pose]] where he points to his forehead with his eyes closed with his leading hand then waves it in front of him. It replaces the animation of Lucas waving his fists in front of him.}}

*{{change|Lucas is more expressive. His eyes are now more prominent when using his attacks, as well as his new facial features when hit.}}

*{{change|Lucas' left-inputted victory pose now has light glow from where the Needle is pulled, as well as glittery particle effects coming from its trail. Lucas also strikes a different pose.}}

*{{buff|Like all characters, Lucas's [[jumpsquat]] animation takes three frames to complete (down from 5).}}

*{{buff|Lucas's [[initial dash]] is faster (1.3→1.815).}}

*{{buff|Lucas [[walk|walks]] slightly faster (0.85 → 0.893).}}

*{{buff|Lucas' [[air speed]] is slightly higher (1.1 → 1.155).}}

*{{buff|Lucas [[jump]]s higher.}}

*{{nerf|Because [[footstool]]s can now be teched, Lucas's d-throw/up-air into Footstool combo game has been removed.}}

**{{change|All three hits of Lucas's neutral attack have more [[hitlag]] (1.0/1.0/1.0 → 1.7/1.8/2.0).}}

**{{nerf|Hits 2 and 3 deal slightly less damage (2.0% (hit 2)/4.0% (hit 3) → 1.5%/3.5%) with base knockback compensated on hit 3 (60 → 64).}}

**{{nerf|Hits 1 and 2 have significantly smaller hitboxes, greatly reducing their range (Jab 1 : 2.8u/2.8u/3.5u → 1.4u/1.6u/1.8u/1.6u/1.8u, Jab 2 : 3.2u/3.2u/4.2u → 2.0u/2.2u/3.0u.}}

**{{change|The third hit has altered hitboxes sizes and one less hitbox (3.0u/3.0u/5.0u → 4.0u/5.0u). The hitboxes are now placed independently from Lucas's body. Overall, this reduces its range.}}

**{{buff|The third hit launches at a lower angle (48 → [[361]]) and the two first hits now use the sakurai angle alongside a 180 tipper on the first hit, allowing both to lock.}}

**{{buff|[[Dash attack]] has less [[startup]] (frame 15 → 13), less [[ending lag]] (FAF 39 → 38) and a longer hitbox duration (frames 13-15 → 13-17).}}

**{{buff|Sweetspot forward tilt deals more base knockback (30 → 55) and knockback scaling (75 → 80), increasing its KO power.}}

**{{buff|Down tilt's close hit has more vertical angle (76 → 84), allowing more consistent follow-ups.}}

**{{buff|Down tilt has increased base knockback (18/8 → 20/10) and combined with its higher damage, makes it easier to combo at lower percent.}}

**{{buff|[[Forward smash]] has slightly less ending lag (FAF 47 → 46).}}

**{{buff|Sweetspotted forward smash has higher knockback growth (88 → 91).}}

**{{buff|All up smash's second hit hitboxes deal 2% more damage (19/18/16/14/12% → 21/20/18/16/14%) without their knockback compensated, increasing their KO power.}}

**{{buff|Up smash has more invulnerability during startup (frames 1-4 → 1-7).}}

***{{nerf|The individual hits of down smash deal significantly less shield damage to compensate (0/0/0 → -10/-8/-6).}}

***{{buff|Although this grants it followups with back aerial which it didn't have before}}.

**{{buff|Forward aerial [[auto-cancel|auto-cancels]] earlier (frame 38 → 34), re-enabling it to auto-cancel out of a short hop.}}

**{{buff|Up aerial's hitbox is now attached to Lucas's head. This removes its blindspot and increases its range.}}

**{{buff|Up aerial has much less ending lag (FAF 46 → 32).}}

**{{buff|Up aerial has increased active frames (frames 7-9 → 7-10), giving it additional horizontal range, and improving its juggling potential.}}

**{{nerf|Up aerial deals less damage (13% → 11%) without full compensation on its base knockback (10 → 20), giving it less KO power.}}

**{{buff|Down aerial’s first three hits connect more reliably due to altering angle (90° → 363°)}}

**{{nerf|Down aerial now pushes grounded opponents away from its hitboxes, rather than picking them up from the ground as in ''Smash 4''.}}

**{{nerf|Down aerial’s hitboxes at Lucas’ feet are smaller (5u → 4.2u (Hits 1-3)/6.9u → 5.5u (Final hit)) and has an altered hitbox placement (Y offset: -5 → -4), decreasing its range below Lucas.}}

**{{buff|Grab aerial can be [[Double Jump Cancel Z-air|double jump canceled]], allowing Lucas to use it very close to the ground to start combos and approach.}}

**{{change|The endings of Lucas's grabs now feature interruptible animations during which the Rope Snake doubles back to return to Lucas.}}

**{{nerf|Lucas's grabs all have less active frames (8 frames → 6 frames).}}

**{{nerf|Lucas's standard grab has one frame more ending lag (FAF 46 → 47).}}

**{{buff|Lucas's dash grab has one frame less ending lag (FAF 56 → 55).}}

**{{change|Lucas's pummel animation now has him attack the grabbed opponent with PSI.}}

**{{change|Lucas has a new [[forward throw]] animation, where he throws the opponent with one hand instead of two.}}

**{{change|Lucas has a new [[back throw]]: a telekinetic underhand throw backwards.}}

**{{buff|Up throw has increased knockback (78 base/69 scaling → 77/73).}}

**{{buff|It deals noticeably more damage (6.5% → 11%), making it one of the most damaging down throws.}}

**{{nerf|It has more ending lag (FAF 50 → 58), altered knockback (78 base/51 scaling → 100/32), and no longer inflicts 6 frames of hitlag on the opponent upon releasing them. Altogether, these changes significantly hinder its combo potential, no longer having guaranteed followups past mid percents, and more importantly removing its KO confirm into [[up aerial]] at high percentages, which was one of his most reliable finishers in ''Smash 4''.}}

**{{change|Lucas's animations during the move have been tweaked; Lucas himself now completely faces the screen, and the particle effects of the explosion now feature the PK Freeze graphic effects from ''Mother 3''.}}

**{{buff|PK Freeze deals more knockback (80 (base)/21 (growth) → 35/60).}}  

**{{buff|The projectile travels faster.}}

**{{buff|PK Freeze no longer dissipates upon making contact with [[platform#Hard_platforms|hard platforms]] and can instead be held at the ground until the move is fully-charged.}}

**{{buff|The projectile now launches opponents at a horizontal angle (80° → 34°) away from Lucas (no matter which direction he faces), making it significantly better for edgeguarding and KO'ing.}}

**{{change|Lucas's hands now feature a red spark until PK Fire is fired, similarly to his finger in his down smash animation. The same spark appears when PK Fire successfully connects. PK Fire graphics from ''Mother 3'' now appear when Lucas fires it and when it bursts.}}

**{{change|Lucas's PK Thunder's graphic effects have been changed; rather than maintaining its magenta coloration from ''Smash 4'', PK Thunder has been changed to be varying hues of blue. The move has also gained particle effects which resemble its respective PSI graphics from ''Mother 3''.}}

**{{change|PSI Magnet's launching hitbox is now extended (Z offset: 12 → 7-9), however isn't as far out, reducing its maximum reach but making it more consistent at hitting opponents close to Lucas.}}

**{{buff|PSI Magnet now features a Windbox on frame 6 which drags opponents closer to the PSI Magnet's hitbox.}}

***{{change|This windbox doesn't scale with the opponents % when Lucas is on the ground, but it does in the air}}

**{{buff|PSI Magnet begins absorbing sooner (10 → 7 frames) and has less ending lag (36 → 28 frames).}}

**{{change|PK Starstorm is now similar to its ''Brawl'' iteration, firing meteors inwards towards the center of the stage, but at a slower rate and with slower meteors. His pose during the move no longer reuses Ness's Final Smash animation and is instead replaced with one reminiscent of his animation in ''Brawl''. Lucas is also assisted by [[Kumatora]] and [[Boney]]. Like his other PSI moves, the move features graphics from PK Starstorm's animation in ''Mother 3'', including the background from the Final Boss.}}
