'''Lucina''' ({{ja|ルキナ|Rukina}}, ''Lucina'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. She was confirmed during a live stream alongside {{SSB4|Captain Falcon}} and {{SSB4|Robin}} on the official ''Super Smash Bros.'' website on July 14th, 2014, making her the only [[unlockable character]] to be revealed before the game's release. She is a moveset [[clone]] of {{SSB4|Marth}}. Yū Kobayashi and Laura Bailey, the Japanese and English voice actresses for Lucina in ''Fire Emblem Awakening'', respectively, voice Lucina once again.

Lucina was originally planned as an alternate costume for Marth, but was given her own character slot later in development once her attacks were given differing characteristics. She was one of three intended skins to be made separate in this way, with {{SSB4|Dr. Mario}} and {{SSB4|Dark Pit}} being the others.

Lucina is ranked 47th on the game's [[tier list]], making her one of two characters in the H tier (the other being {{SSB4|King Dedede}}) and thus results in her being the second highest ranked bottom-tier character. Despite possessing a long [[disjoint]] with her [[List of swords#Falchion|Parallel Falchion]] along with fast startup for most attacks, she suffers from endlag-heavy attacks, a poor grab game, and easily [[gimp]]ed recovery. Additionally, she lacks the tipper [[sweetspot]]s her counterpart, Marth, can use to KO early, and though this can be seen as a benefit in some areas, such as having higher hitstun on all attacks making it more difficult to punish her [[out of shield]] compared to Marth's sourspotted attacks, and being more consistent at netting KOs at high percentages, this trait has less of a benefit at high-level play, and has led many professionals to see her as inferior to Marth. As a result, she has limited tournament representation and almost nonexistent competitive success.

*Complete Classic Mode with Marth without using any continues.

Lucina must then be defeated on [[Arena Ferox]].

Lucina then must be defeated on [[Coliseum]].

[[File:Forward smash comparison.JPG|420px|thumb|Lucina's Parallel Falchion lacks a specific sweetspot in her attacks compared to Marth's Falchion, as seen in their attack animations.]]

Lucina is a [[clone]] of Marth, meaning her moveset and animations are primarily based off of his. In a Miiverse post, Sakurai explains that "whenever there is even a small difference in abilities, that character gets an actual roster slot", citing Lucina as an example.<ref>https://miiverse.nintendo.net/replies/AYMHAAACAABnUYn9HXMxEA</ref> The primary difference between Lucina and Marth is their swords; Lucina's Parallel Falchion has consistent damage output throughout the entire blade, while Marth's Falchion is more powerful when hitting with just the tip of the blade. Additionally, the power of all her attacks is the weighted average of Marth's sourspotted and sweetspotted attacks.

Lucina has a few advantages that set her slightly apart from Marth. Although Lucina lacks intricate sourspot setups that Marth can utilize to set up his tippers, she gains more consistent damage off her combos than Marth does due to her lack of such sourspots. Lucina also has less trouble KOing at high percents, since she does not necessarily need to space her most powerful attacks to KO, while Marth's sourspotted attacks deal mediocre damage and knockback even at higher percentages. Of note is that her up smash, down aerial and [[Dancing Blade]] are all more powerful than Marth's equivalents in any given case. Nonetheless, Lucina also possesses significant disadvantages compared to Marth. Lucina lacks tippers, preventing her from potentially securing early KOs with hard reads or gaining positional advantage off of precise spacing on enemy approaches or shields; this makes her much less threatening when defending in the neutral game, as opponents do not have to worry about their spacing relative to Lucina's blade the same way they would with Marth's. Lucina's consistent damage makes her ability to approach and "rush down" opponents slightly better than Marth's, as she is not required to space tippers to gain strong attacks or shield pushback. Ultimately, however, this is only influential at low-level play because, like Marth, she lacks lingering hitboxes or projectiles, making her approaches inherently unsafe regardless of the strength of her swings. As such, her less spacing-oriented approaches do not help her neutral game.

Overall, Lucina is a lower-risk, lower-reward character compared to Marth, trading an emphasis on spacing for more consistent KO power. While she does possess some advantages that allow her to fare better in certain matchups than Marth does, she still lacks the main advantages and selling points Marth has, making her less viable for tournament play, where she has sparse low-to-mid level results and poor high-level placings.

====Aesthetics====

*{{change|Lucina's weapon is the the {{s|fireemblemwiki|Parallel Falchion}} from ''Fire Emblem: Awakening'', a variant of the {{s|fireemblemwiki|Falchion}}.}}

*{{change|Parallel Falchion's trail is a blur that is translucent and blue during the initial and middle stages of a swing and opaque and white during the late and final stages. Conversely, Falchion's trail is a translucent blue blur with an accentuated tip throughout its entire swing. This detail shows that Parallel Falchion lacks a tipper and that it has a consistent damage output throughout its blade.}}

*{{change|Lucina's [[on-screen appearance]] is slightly different, due to her removing her mask.}}

*{{change|Lucina's [[taunts]] and [[victory pose]]s are different from Marth's.}}

*{{change|Unlike Marth, she is dubbed in English for non-Japanese versions of ''SSB4''. She also has unique victory quotes against the former and {{SSB4|Ike}}.}}

====Attributes====

*{{change|Lucina is very slightly shorter than Marth, giving her a smaller hurtbox, Lucina's range however, is also shorter than Marth's.}}

*{{change|Unlike Marth, her Falchion does not have a [[tipper]] hitbox, meaning every part of the blade will deal equal damage and knockback. Her attacks deal more damage and knockback than the sourspot hitboxes of Marth's attacks and less damage and knockback than the tipper hitboxes of Marth's attacks.}}

*{{change|Lucina does not have any [[hitlag]] modifiers on her attacks except for her neutral attack.}}

*{{change|Although Lucina appears to [[dash]] faster than Marth, their dashing speeds are exactly the same.}}

*{{buff|Lucina's side-step retains her horizontal momentum.}} {{fact}}

====Ground attacks====

*{{change|Lucina's down tilt has different particle effects.}}

*{{buff|Lucina's [[up tilt]] deals increased damage on the late hit.}}

*{{buff|Lucina's up tilt and neutral attack carries her horizontal momentum giving Lucina superior [[Pivoting|Perfect-pivot]] options over Marth.}}

====Special moves====

*{{change|Lucina's [[Shield Breaker]] animation is much more exaggerated than Marth's.}}

*{{nerf|Lucina's Dolphin Slash travels slightly less vertical distance.}}

*{{change|Lucina may shout when performing [[Dolphin Slash]], whereas Marth does not vocalize when performing it.}}

*{{change|Lucina performs a different pose during her [[Counter]]. She additionally may say "My turn!" or "You're mine!" when it is triggered, whereas Marth merely grunts whenever his is triggered.}}

Initially a poorly regarded character like Marth, Lucina has been significantly buffed in game updates since [[1.0.6]], with most of her buffs being shared with him. As these buffs further improve her damage output by decreasing the ending lag of several combo-oriented moves and increasing the damage and/or knockback of many of her standard attacks, most notably up tilt, as well as improving her [[Dancing Blade]] by making every hit link better, her punishes are stronger than they were initially. However, the biggest buff is the changes to shield mechanics, which benefited her the most: while the fact her moves have no hitlag modifiers made them less safe on shield which further exacerbated the drawback of having an unsafe neutral game, it was remedied in update [[1.1.1]], with the increase in [[shieldstun]] and the application of hitlag on shields making her moves safer on shield, especially when properly spaced. While Shield Breaker was nerfed to adjust to the new shield mechanics, it was almost entirely compensated by the shieldstun increase. The rest of her moves are now considerably safer on shield, especially when compared to Marth's and {{SSB4|Roy}}'s sourspotted attacks, making her harder to punish than them. Also, she received increased damage on all of her aerials in 1.1.4 which helped improve her aerial combo and juggle games, bringing her overall damage output closer to Marth's. Her hitboxes on aerials and ground attacks were also increased to the point where she now outranges certain characters, like Sheik. When coupled with her multitude of buffs, this makes Lucina much better than in the game's initial release.

Generally, the damage dealt by Lucina's attacks is close to the weighted average of each of the hitboxes of Marth's attacks, based on the sizes of the sweetspot and sourspot hitboxes. Moves of Marth without a tipper are unchanged.

|neutraldesc=Swings the Falchion twice. If timed correctly, the first hit has numerous follow-up options.

|ftiltdmg=10.85%

|ftiltdesc=A fast forward leaning Falchion swipe upward. Covers a very large area.

|utiltdmg=7.6% (early), 8.1% (behind)

|utiltdesc=Swings the Falchion in a large arc above her head, with a large hitbox that can hit enemies behind her. Does more damage when hitting an enemy behind her. Great combo move at lower percentages and a decent KOing option at higher percentages.

|dtiltdesc=Crouches and jabs at the opponent's feet. Great for [[edgeguarding]] and [[tech-chasing]].

|dashdesc=A quick upward sweeping diagonal slash with the Falchion.

|fsmashname=&nbsp;

|fsmashdesc=Rotates body counter-clockwise with a strong arc-like one-handed swing from her head to the ground. High base knockback and moderate knockback scaling make this move a reliable KOing option.

|usmashname=&nbsp;

|usmashdesc=A quick, direct upward thrust. The weak grounded hit can knock nearby opponents into the main attack. Deceptive horizontal range and high knockback scaling. Great for punishing rolls and landings, and a decent anti-air option.

|dsmashdesc=Sweeps Falchion on the ground toward the front outward then toward the back inward. Oddly, this move sends opponents at a different angle if tippered, just like Marth's. High ending lag.

|nairdesc=Two horizontal slashes around herself via an inward slash followed into a full 360° outward spin. A good spacing option, and can lead into other moves as well.

|fairdesc=Does a forward vertical slash (up to down). Great for spacing and fending off aerial opponents, but landing with this move is very unsafe, due to its short duration and 16 frames of landing lag.

|bairname=&nbsp;

|bairdesc=Slashes with the Falchion from bottom to top behind her in an inward swipe. Has the interesting property of turning Lucina around, changing facing direction. Great for edgeguarding.

|uairdesc=Performs a slightly delayed backflip while swinging the Falchion in a forward to back upward slash.

|dairdesc=A forward to back downward outward slash with the Falchion. If struck in the middle of the swinging arc, it [[meteor smash]]es opponents. High ending and landing lag.

|grabdesc=Grabs the enemy with her left hand. Good range.

|pummeldesc=Knee strikes the enemy. Fairly fast.

|fthrowdesc=Grabs and pushes forward. Can be used to tech-chase, or set up a Crescent Slash.

|bthrowdesc=Trips the enemy over her leg. Similar to her forward throw. No follow-up or KO potential, due to high ending lag and abysmal knockback scaling, respectively. However, it is very effective at sending the opponent offstage, thanks to its high base knockback.

|uthrowdesc=Powerful upward throw with one arm. Can KO at high percentages, starting at 165%.

|dthrowdesc=Hooks her arm and drags the opponent to the floor, sending the opponent backwards. Can combo into up aerial or back aerial.

|floorfdesc=

|floorbdesc=

|floortdesc=

|edgedesc=

|nsdefdesc=Lucina charges up the Falchion over her head before powerfully thrusting it forward. As the name implies, this attack deals high amounts of [[shield damage]].

|nsc1desc=A blast of wind is produced from the Falchion's tip that pushes back foes. The stab itself is weaker, but the pushing strength of the tornado increases with its charge.

|nsc2dmg=5.7%/4.75%/2.85% (ground uncharged early/mid/late), 6.65%/5.7%/3.8% (air uncharged early/mid/late), 15.2%/12.35%/8.55% (ground fully charged early/mid/late), 16.15%/13.3%/9.5% (air fully charged early/mid/late)

|nsc2desc=Lucina performs a lunging thrust with the Falchion. Deals less damage, but propels her forward.

|ssdefdmg=3.325% (parts 1-2), 4.275% (part 3 up/side), 3.325% (part 3 down), 6.65% (part 4 up), 5.7% (part 4 side), 2% (part 4 down hits 1-4), 4.75% (part 4 hit 5)

|ssdefdesc=A sequence of slashes with several variations based on control stick tilts. The finishing blow is one of three options: a skyward slice (control stick up), a strong slash (control stick neutral or control stick to the side), or a flurry of low stabs (control stick down). Same colors as Marth. Like his, the first hit stalls her while in midair.

|ssc1desc=The hits chain together, more easily but only the side option can be used.

|ssc2desc=The hits are stronger, but are harder to chain together.

|usdefdesc=Lucina performs a rapid jumping slash that can be reversed. An excellent [[out of shield]] option.

|usc1desc=Gains more horizontal distance, but less vertical distance.

|usc2dmg=0%

|usc2desc=Vertical distance is increased, but no damage is dealt.

|dsdefdmg=1.2x (min 8%)

|dsdefdesc=Parries and then retaliates against incoming attacks. The strength of the attack blocked influences the strength of the counterattack. Same properties as Marth, along with the custom variants.

|dsc1dmg=0.7x (min 4%)

|dsc1desc=Lucina holds her parrying stance longer and counterattacks with less power. Has decreased damage scaling, but has a wider trigger window.

|dsc2dmg=1.3x (min 6%)

|dsc2desc=Lucina dashes behind the foe and slashes them at blinding speed. Deals more damage, knocks opponents backwards, activates faster, and deals [[electric]] damage. However, it has a narrower trigger window.

|fsdesc=Lucina lunges in one direction, attacking the first opponent. Immense knockback, enough to [[one-hit KO]] any character. Pressing the button again will immediately trigger the slash.

*Warps onto the stage using warp magic with a twirl and then removes her mask.

|desc-up=Spins the Falchion and holds it in a similar way that looks like her character artwork, saying "Come at me!". ({{ja|かかってきなさい|Kakatte Ki Nasai}}, ''Come at me, if you would.'')

|desc-side=Turns around while resheathing the Falchion saying "I cannot lose". ({{ja|負けられませんから|Makeraremasen Kara}}, ''I won't lose.'')

|desc-down=Puts on her mask from when she was disguised as [[Marth]] in ''Fire Emblem: Awakening'', then removes it.}}

|desc-1=Holds her hand to her chest and takes a breath.

|pitch-jp=Group chant}}

|victory-desc=This victory theme is a small orchestral cover from the title theme of the first ''Fire Emblem'' game, which has since become the main theme of the series.

|desc-1=Points the Parallel Falchion upward, then poses, saying "[[Chrom|Father]]... I won.".

**''If Ike is present in the match, there is a chance she will instead say "And they call ''you'' the Radiant Hero?".''

|desc-2=Swings the Parallel Falchion, then poses in her artwork pose, saying "The future is not written!".

|desc-3=Sheaths the Parallel Falchion, saying "You'll never defeat me!".

**''If Marth is present, there is a chance she will instead say "''This'' is the Hero-King?".''
