Dair Loops - Combo - Lucas Tutorial [Smash Ultimate] 

KingOfWizards song?

XxpldngBblGum In the description. Might want to get into the habit of checking it.

Thank u

I’m not too sure about this, but I believe that fast fallers can tech grounded spikes. Like I said might have to fact check, but I think fast fallers can tech grounded spikes

I just would like to add one thing: Landing the spike hit is kinda inconsistent, since most of the spike hitbox is actually below the ground, meaning you need to land basically on *top* of them pretty exactly.

Lol

Same

@@Edgeperor yeah dude it's spamming if you do a frame perfect tech, that's as bad as spamming pk fire

@@trip9196 If a Lucas did this shit to me, I'd give them props as the chosen one they clearly are. Tech like this and spamming only have one thing in common, repetition where one is due to lame play or lack of understanding how to play the character well and the other is due to dedication, practice and being sick as hell.

Thanks! I'm hoping to keep up and improve my content!

Always happy to see people that enjoyed it, makes the effort all worth it!

You mean the quality is pk fire

@@lenryan7490 I was JUST about to make this pun!

SAAAAAME

Haha thanks! I honestly just made up a style for my editing on my own with bits of inspiration from guides I've seen in the past. The most important thing however is what I felt was lacking in other guides, which is what I try to have as a big focus in my videos. My DJCZ video was an experiment of sorts since I've never done this kind of editing before, but seeing the feedback showed that it's a consistent style I can keep so that's nice

Impossible

Definitely, he has a really high skill ceiling that most don't appreciate!

@@KingOfWizards but i think ness is still overall better because the main problem is that lucas gets nothing put of grab only maybe a up air or fair at low percents so just shield and he cant do much to you

Lucas is really hard to pull off with how much work he has to play & he is really cool with how he plays ngl But I don't see Lucas being better than Ness anytime soon. Ness's neutral is a lot better since he can throw a lot of moves & they are safe when they're used right while Lucas's neutral is pretty situational since he doesn't really have any moves he can just throw out safely except for Fair, PK Fire, & DJC Zair. Another is Ness has a lot easier time to land kills cause a lot of his moves can kill while Lucas actually has problems landing kills, fair needs to be spaced to get the sweetspot, getting a grab is hard for Lucas since his grab has a longer startup & bad endlag, so he can get punished for missing his grab, PK Freeze & PK Fire can be shielded. The only times he can easily get kills is when he edgeguards or does a kill confirm like the dair loops to fsmash or fair. Which while the dair loop is really good, it's not something u can just throw out in neutral, SH dair doesn't autocancel, so if ur not careful, u will get punished while ur suffering landing lag from dair. KingOfWizards say, Lucas is underappreciated he definitely is & he is tech heavy. Lol Lucas is insane, just his neutral is situational. He won't be better than Ness at all because of this & whatever Lucas struggles at, Ness doesn't break a sweat, the only thing Lucas really has that's better than Ness is recovering, but Ness's recovery isn't too bad cause of air dodge & recovering isn't the main thing to focus on, but rather the neutral game. But hey, Lucas is cool anyway

This is true.

@Max Lai Why do you think Ness wears that hat? To hide his concave skull. Where Lucas flaunts that thick brain and then uses it to bludgeon people.

I just love Lucas dair... until I get the sour spot Thanks!

@@KingOfWizards this is the closest I've gotten... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_Qz2W_M9O9k.html Gonna keep trying but it's pretty hard.

Amazing job reading the DI! And you got so many dairs too! I don't always get a finisher sometimes as well, but the damage is what's really important, and you definitely cooked up a ton right there

@@KingOfWizards thank you :)

Lucas tech will fill the void for mother 3 in the meantime ....but I'd still like mother 3 anyways

@@KingOfWizards me too

I hope you enjoy playing as Lucas! There's so much to him! Thanks!

This is what motivates me to keep working on videos!!!! Every thirty seconds of this vid took about 2 hours, but I'm glad to see that you find it helpful! It makes it all worth it, and gives me motivation to work on the next project! Thanks!

RU-vid guides are a resource that is so important for exposure of a character, accessibility to guides, and overall advancing the meta. The lack of content creators for characters can be harsh, but it is what motivated me to make guides for Lucas! Thanks!

Thanks a ton!

Yeah, RU-vid is pretty accessible and guides like these are really desperately needed for Lucas. Glad to see more people looking into the character!

I appreciate it!

Will do!

Yes! As of 6.1, multiple characters that Dair Loops did not work on prior can now be hit by the combo, however it only works if you start the loops on the opponents back. A weird shadow buff, but I'll take it.

Thanks! Neutral is really tough... That would definitely be a lot of research but I'd for sure look into it in the future!

Legit such an underrated song

Masked man

Thanks! Hope I wasnt overly detailed!

That Guy if you haven’t already I suggest checking out the sub for Lucas mains. Most of the posts aren’t really helpful but the megathread and info doc are really good

Hope to make more content for Lucas to guide more and more players! Unfortunately, we are lacking in Lucas content. I wouldnt have started making videos for Lucas if this wasnt the case. People NEED this kinda stuff, and I hope I at least fulfill the bare minimum

There's so much stuff we all don't know about Lucas yet... I'm glad I was able to at least showcase how crazy dair is

Sweet, lemme know how it goes!

Thanks!

I appreciate it! Thanks for the kind words!

Glad to hear it!

Keep up the practice! You've got this! I'm glad you're putting in the effort to make it happen

I managed to do that without tap jump on the ledge. It was so satisfying when a did that

Glad you liked it!

He's got a lot of flaws for sure, but there is a lack of advancing in the meta to truly understand where he belongs. Lucas is definitely on the much higher end of being tech-heavy, but he still has some fundamental flaws that just cannot be changed. But as Lucas mains, we work around them and show how busted this character really can be!

I would be so happy if someone managed to bring them to prominence in the competitive scene. So many characters would be slept on if not for a single champion. Sometimes that's all it takes to change people's minds.

@@nathanlevesque7812 that's exactly true, hopefully we have a good representative soon enough

KingOfWizards that’s why he is high tier, with flaws but excels at what he is good at.

Do u remember who they were?

It's a combo I really feel more people should learn, I'm glad you found the video good!

Thanks!

Also, why is it that it doesn't work on these particular characters listed? It seems like a very random collective to me, I'd want to understand.

@@DARTH_OZZ it's a mix of their hurt animations and size which causes the anomalies Also good luck on your goal to be the best Lucas! You got this!

I'm glad people appreciate both the tech and the editing put in!

Thanks, glad to see it helped!

The one and only!

There's a lot of control methods out there for Lucas mains, but I definitely should make an overview to allow people to judge what they find best. Thank you for the suggestion!

I'm still trying to figure out a good setup for Lucas myself. I think hand position might be just as important. That started when I realized that I can mash 5 times faster by palming the control stick with my right hand, but not my left. Cuts down on hand strain too. Right now I'm wondering about abandoning the right triggers, by putting my right hand directly over top of the face buttons. Then I can have constant access to tilts, and buttons for grab, attack, and special as well as an extra jump, without hand strain. I can even pinch the c-stick, since that helps my disabled thumbs a bit with speed, or with spamming d-tilt.

Interesting... I never considered swapping my hand positions on a controller before so I can't add much input, but I'm glad you're experimenting

Thanks! I appreciate it!

Thanks, glad you found them all good

Thanks!

My go-to combo when I land the D-Air too early is d tilt since it leads into a lot of stuff. Just make sure to turn around if the opponent ends up behind you!

@@KingOfWizards Dair has many applications. Currently, I'm figuring out if dair grounded spike -> Nair's 3rd hit drag down after a dair loop can lead into D-tilt -> f-tilt or another Nair drag down.

@@Rhy2412TitanGamer it's true, I've done it and seen it multiple times. Theres enough hitstun for all of that to connect.

@@KingOfWizards It is possible from my playing test when Dair starts grounded spiking, but SDI can change what you can do.

@@KingOfWizards Is there a % list for when 3rd hit of Nair starts being true into d-tilt somewhere?

If you're making a Lucas guide and not even using Mother 3 music wth are you doing then Mother 3 music is so gooooood

It's likely that you're drifting too far and so the last hit misses, or you're not drifting enough. Its a little tricky, but I trust you'll get it!

tbh I think bair is the coolest, but its extremely hard to land

Yea!

Good point! So actually, the combo counter doesn't properly record this even though it is true (can be tested frame by frame to prove that). As a general rule, the combo counter usually does not record many combos correctly. This is just an issue with the combo counter and not the combo itself!

Makes the work worth it!

Smiles and Tears for me

Idk it's an old replay but I think he was pretty bad he kept spamming up smash on top of using the worst alt smh

Yup, the last hit of D-Air will not connect unless you are drifting. D-Air doesn't pull the opponent in that effectively, which is why you have to follow where they're going in order to connect all the hits. Hope this answers the question!

No, you can just do a buffered SH Dair

Yes, I use c stick so that I can have better control over where my short hop goes

Definitely on my list!
