'''Lucas''' ({{ja|リュカ|Ryuka}}, ''Lucas'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. | '''Lucas''' ({{ja|リュカ|Ryuka}}, ''Lucas'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. Initially absent as a playable character, Lucas' return to the series was revealed during the [[Nintendo Direct]] on April 1st, 2015, while he was made available as [[downloadable content]] on June 14th, 2015 alongside fellow [[veteran]] {{SSB4|Roy}} and the [[newcomer]] {{SSB4|Ryu}}. Lani Minella reprises her role as Lucas' voice actor, albeit via recycled voice clips from ''Brawl'' and with some of the clips slightly sped up. | ||
Lucas is currently ranked 36th out of 56 on the [[tier list]], placing him in the F tier. This is a slight improvement from his ranking in ''Brawl'', where he was ranked 30th out of 38. Like fellow ''EarthBound'' representative {{SSB4|Ness}}, Lucas is no longer plagued by 10 extra [[grab release]] frames and early [[hitstun]] canceling, both of which were major detriments to his survivability and combo game, respectively. Aside from that, Lucas' retains his fast attack speed, [[disjointed]] hitboxes, [[projectile]]s that can pressure or zone opponents, and an impressive combo game. | Lucas is currently ranked 36th out of 56 on the [[tier list]], placing him in the F tier.

*{{change|Due to the vibrant aesthetics used in ''SSB4'', Lucas' overall color scheme is brighter. Like Ness, Lucas has lost the colored hue in his eyes (blue in Lucas' case), he is slightly taller and thinner, has a smaller and more proportionate head, his shirt's stripes are now completely horizontal and his feet are slightly smaller. He also has slightly rosy cheeks.}} | *{{change|Due to the vibrant aesthetics used in ''SSB4'', Lucas' overall color scheme is brighter.

*{{nerf|PSI Magnet deals 1% less damage (9% → 8%), its healing multiplier has decreased (2.5x → 1.2x) and it only damages opponents in its center despite its hitbox being larger, whereas the entire orb dealt damage in Brawl, hindering its utility.

*{{change|PK Starstorm now functions identically to Ness' version. It deals 6% less damage per hit (14% → 8%), but the falling stars are now fired in a line that can be aimed in a fanning motion from the top-center of the stage. While this gives it blind spots, it results in a more consistent damage output when the stars do hit.}} | *{{change|PK Starstorm now functions identically to Ness' version.

*{{change|PK Starstorm's animation has changed. Like Ness' version, Lucas now strikes the same pose when using it and the falling stars are now colored blue instead of yellow. Unlike Ness' version, Lucas' version has a much thicker line of fire due to using a consistent width of three falling stars throughout, rather than a width of one and a half falling stars.}} | *{{change|PK Starstorm's animation has changed.
