Initial opinions within Lucas were somewhat negative. Likely due to his high learning curve and being outclassed by other characters with a similar archetype, Lucas' representation has been somewhat below-average throughout most of the competitive lifespan. This is further compounded with the nerfs he received during the transition from ''Smash 4'', especially those to his guaranteed KO setups (from down throw, footstools and locks) he performed in the previous game, as well as his learning curve being slightly higher than before. To make things worse, all of Lucas' players from ''SSB4'' have dropped him in favor of switching to other characters and has a significantly smaller playerbase. | Initial opinions within Lucas were somewhat negative.

Even with the smaller playerbase, dedicated Lucas players such as {{Sm|Mekos}} and {{Sm|WhYYZ}} have achieved respectable results in regionals. On a larger scale, {{Sm|ChocoTaco}}, {{Sm|Nitox}}. and {{Sm|Regalo}}, have all seen respectable major placements, with the latter two most notably placing 9th at two separate supermajors in 2022, marking Lucas' best results yet. However, Lucas' results overall, especially at a major level, remain rather scarce, and his overall representation in the metagame have remained below-average.

As a result, Lucas is widely considered a solid mid-tier, which is reflected in Lucas' current ranking in the first tier list, where he is ranked 58th as the second-highest low mid-tier. Although his continuously scarce major results and sub-par representation have resulted in Lucas dropping to 61st in the second and current tier list, he is still designated as a mid-tier. | ||
