Lucas (DEFINITIVE EDITION)

Description
Lucas is back for round two(cas)!

Lucas is back and has a brand new moveset taking inspiration from both his Smash Brothers appearance, as well as the original game.

Down Special: PSI Magnet -- PSI magnet works similar to Ness' in the smash brothers series. Holding the special button will allow it to remain active up to about 2 seconds. However, releasing the special button will cause it to automatically deactivate once reaching one second. After one second, the move will also stop after hitting an opponent or absorbing a projectile.

This time, Lucas' main mechanic is his Psychic Points, which he gets from hitting enemies or projectiles with his down special, PSI Magnet.
With these points, he can use his second down special when PSI Magnet is on cooldown, as shown in the HUD.

In this menu, he has access to four different options:

PK Charge: An original move that is inspired by his signature technique; PK Charge increases the power and changes the effects of his other special moves. When this option is selected, he may still use PSI Magnet.

PK Flash: Deals damage and stuns enemies in a radius around him.

Shield: Activates a shield that gives some damage and knockback reduction for 15 seconds. Getting hit also decreases the time the shield is out for.

Refresh: For 10 seconds, Lucas heals about 1-2% of the damage he has taken each second. Parrying during this time will extend the duration.


Other specials --

Neutral Special: PK Freeze -- PK Freeze is an icy projectile that can be charged by holding down the special button, which will also cause it to rise. Releasing the special button, or fully charging it, will release the projectile in a downward arc. As you hold the special button, each stage of the move deals more damage, the strongest version freezing enemies on hit.
When PK Charge is active, PK Freeze instead becomes a projectile that deals much higher damage and knockback, but can no longer be charged for more damage or be able to freeze opponents.

Forward Special: PK Fire -- This version of PK Fire takes inspiration from the one he uses in super smash brothers. In its normal state, it acts the same, where it releases a burst of fire that strongly launches enemies and burns upon hit. When PK Charge is active, it instead deals damage several times, before launching forward.

Up Special: PK Thunder -- In this version, Lucas uses PK Thunder to float himself around, similar to how he would control the thunder orb in Super Smash Brothers. In its normal state, he can fly around for a few seconds to deal small damage to enemies, which in this time he can press the special button to deal an explosion, that launches enemies. When PK Charge is activated, PK Thunder acts more similar to Ness' version, that instead will deal damage upon hit, and cannot be manually released with the special button. This version deals more damage.


Another feature that Lucas may use is his 16-hit combos. This works by dealing damage to enemies with his Jab attack, or tilt attacks. If another move is used, the combo is broken, and resets back to one. In order to finish a combo, Lucas must hit the 16th hit with his Forward Strong attack, which will cause it to deal more knockback.

Overall, Lucas plays as a mainly up close rushdown character, who has a few projectiles that he can use from a distance to continue damaging opponents.


I have been working on this character for about 6-8 months, where I was also developing another character at the same time. I decided to work on this one more due to it being more polished, and I wanted to have a proper version of the character that I would want people to enjoy. I have been also quite busy with a lot of things, so I am glad that I can finally finish this.


I hope you have fun playing as Lucas!

New Update! (16/07/2025)
You can now play as Lucas' twin brother Claus!

You can do this by selecting the button on the character select screen.


Each twin has their own special combo sound effects, as well as unique compatibility with other workshop items.

Way to go making this Lucas! I can tell where all those months went into for perfecting him. As a fan of your original Lucas, it's good to see these improvements come to fruition, keep up the great work.
