Lucas is currently ranked 32nd out of 58 on the [[tier list]], placing him in the C tier. This is a fairly noticeable improvement from his ranking in ''Brawl'', where he was ranked 30th out of 38. Like his fellow ''[[EarthBound (universe)|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 those gameplay changes, Lucas retains his fast attack speed, [[Hitbox|disjointed hitboxes]], [[projectile]]s that can pressure or zone opponents, and an impressive combo game. | Lucas is currently ranked 32nd out of 58 on the [[tier list]], placing him in the C tier.

However, while the major issues resulting in Lucas' near bottom-tier placement in ''Brawl'' have been fixed, his overall damage output, knockback, and range were all reduced, as well as the loss of several of his more advanced techniques from ''Brawl'', making it questionable whether the buffs or nerfs are more prevalent. Lucas also retains slow ground mobility and a [[recovery]] that is occasionally susceptible to [[gimp]]s and [[edgeguarding]]. | However, while the major issues resulting in Lucas' near bottom-tier placement in ''Brawl'' have been fixed, his overall damage output, knockback, and range were all reduced, as well as the loss of several of his more advanced techniques from ''Brawl'', making it questionable whether the buffs or nerfs are more prevalent.

Lucas was initially poorly regarded when he was first released, but subsequent game updates later gave Lucas buffs that allowed him to get some average results, mostly due to the efforts of {{Sm|Taiheita}}, who has many notable placings, such as 17th in singles and 1st in doubles with Lucas at [[Super Smash Con 2016]], along with several high placings at [[Sumabato]] and [[Umebura]] tournaments. | |||
