'''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 a [[Nintendo Direct]] on April 1st, 2015. He was then made available as [[downloadable content]] on June 14th, 2015, alongside {{SSB4|Roy}} and {{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''' ({{ja|リュカ|Ryuka}}, ''Lucas'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''.

Lucas is currently ranked 28th out of 55 on the [[tier list]], placing him | Lucas is currently ranked 28th out of 55 on the [[tier list]], placing him at the bottom of the C tier, and tying him with fellow ''[[EarthBound (universe)|EarthBound]]'' representative {{SSB4|Ness}}. This is a noticeable improvement from his ranking in ''Brawl'', where he was ranked 30th out of 38. Like his fellow Ness, Lucas is no longer plagued by 10 extra [[grab release]] frames and early [[hitstun]] canceling, both of which were major detriments to his endurance and combo game, respectively. Aside from those gameplay changes, Lucas retains his fast attack speed, disjointed [[hitbox]]es, [[projectile]]s that can pressure or zone opponents, and an impressive combo game. | ||
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.

This has been most evident with 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. | ||
