Lucas (SSBB)

This article is about Lucas' appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. For other uses, see Lucas.

Lucas (リュカ, Ryuka) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The first EarthBound newcomer since the original Super Smash Bros., Lucas is the main character of MOTHER 3, the sequel to EarthBound released only in Japan. Lucas' Special Moves are very similar to Ness's moves from the previous two Smash games; his physical attacks, according to the Dojo, are markedly different. However, the most recent Subspace Emissary trailer shows Lucas using the Home Run Swing, which indicates that at least one of his physical attacks are shared with Ness.

Lucas's On-Screen Appearance has him ride in on Mr. Saturn's tea table.

Lucas uses Duster's Rope Snake from MOTHER 3 to perform a Tether Recovery. The Rope Snake is also a taunt, where Lucas looks at the snake, which bites him playfully on the nose. Lucas also utilizes his Rope Snake for his grabs, giving him a ranged grab, much like Link or Samus. Strangely, all of his Special Moves, as well as his Final Smash, derive from in-game attacks that are instead learned by Kumatora, not Lucas himself.

Role In the Subspace Emissary

In the Subspace Emissary, Lucas is seen walking alone in an abandoned lot, until several Primid show up. Then, suddenly, the gigantic King P. Statue appears and chases after Lucas. Lucas runs from it, until he gets caught in a snag and is about to be crushed when Ness comes to his rescue. Ness blows up the King P. Statue with his PK Flash, which reveals Pokey Minch himself (based on his Mother 3 appearence). Ness and Lucas defeat him, but no sooner do they do so when Wario shows up and attemps to show Ness with his Trophy Gun. Ness dodges each time, so Wario eventually aims at Lucas and shoots. Ness pushes Lucas out of the way and turns into a Trophy. Scared, Lucas runs away as Wario cackles in the rain.

Later on, Lucas runs into the Pokémon Trainer as more Primid show up. After they are defeated, the Pokémon Trainer leaves, but Lucas decides to join him.
