Lucas (SSS)

:This article is strictly about how Lucas appears in Super Smash Stadium. For information about him in general, see his article on the Earthbound Wiki.
Lucas is a playable character on Super Smash Stadium. He debuted halfway through Season 24, alongside a major area from his home game, New Pork City.
==In his own universe==
Lucas is the star of Mother 3, a game in the Earthbound series that has yet to see an international release, but was first pitched by Shigesato Itoi as "Earthbound 64", possibly explaining how Ness got to be a character in Smash 64 and why he's been a staple of the Smash Bros. games since.
Whereas Earthbound is just a near-total rehash of Earthbound Beginnings, Mother 3 at least TRIES to take the series in something of a different direction. Gone is Giygas, leaving Porky as the main villain. Dubbed "the Pig King" in this game, he leads a group called the "Pigmask Army", who introduces new technology and infrastructure to the Nowhere Islands, but turns the area into a police state and conducts possibly illegal experiments on the wildlife. Lucas, from his home of Tazmily Village, is tasked with forming a resistance movement to push back the Pigmasks.
==Attributes==
Lucas rolls into SSS as a near-complete clone of Ness, much as he is in the canon Smash games. His main differences over Ness are that he is slower on the ground, but faster in the air. He is also floatier in the air. His grab involves a snake, giving him an alternate, tethered form of recovery that Ness doesn't have, and his forward Smash involves a stick instead of a baseball bat. He is slightly stronger than Ness.
===Changes===
...Yes.
===Moveset===
Entrance: Rides in on a "skateboard" that's really just a coffee table propped up by several Mr. Saturns.
Move Name	Description
Neutral Special:
PK Freeze	A faster, weaker PK Flash that freezes opponents, duh. Has about the same range, and always pushes opponents away from Lucas.
Kills at 150%.
Side Special:
PK Fire	Doesn't last as long as Ness's version of the move, and pushes opponents outward rather than inward. On the other hand, it still flies straight out if Lucas uses it in the air, and the initial lightning bolt travels for a slightly longer distance.
Cannot kill.
Up Special:
PK Thunder	Again, see Ness. Lucas's version of the move doesn't disappear upon hitting an opponent, and can hit the same opponent multiple times. To compensate, it only lasts three seconds as opposed to the five of Ness's move.
As with Ness, Lucas can hit himself with the move. Lucas's PK Rocket is weaker than Ness's, but can hit the same opponent multiple times.
PK Rocket kills at 75%; a plain old PK Thunder can't kill.
Down Special:
PK Magnet	See Ness. Lucas holds the shield slightly in front of him, instead of putting the shield around him as Ness does.
Cannot kill.
Final Smash:
PK Starstorm	Lucas unleashes a cascade of shooting stars that does heavy damage and knockback to opponents. Whereas Ness's version of the move fans outward, Lucas's stars fan inward as they fall down. You can use to aim the move slightly. Also, unique to Lucas, you can press the stick up and down to adjust the spread of the move at the top of the screen. The big danger from this move is the sheer frequency at which the stars rain down; any opponent that hits just one star could be comboed into several more, leading to an easy death.
It should be noted that Lucas couldn't use this move himself in Mother 3. To compensate for this, starting in Season 47, Kumatora and Boney appear alongside him. Prior to Season 39, this move didn't make its signature sound.
Ashley Variant: No one accompanies Ashley. When Ashley uses the move, she shouts out "JUSTICE RAINS FROM ABOVE!!!"
Kills at 60%.
