he’s probably top 15 if u don’t ever mess up ur tech, but that’s not feasible unlike other characters with incredibly hard/learny techs, lucas relies on his for neutral as opposed to just advantage state, meaning he’s gonna have to do these frame tight inputs CONSTANTLY and you have to play as if you’re always gonna land the tech
As a Lucas main I would say the best way to master this is to switch the R button to jump and either X or Y to grab and press them both at the same time while moving the stick in the forward direction
Fantastic job with this video man, this is some top quality Smash content. One thing I will add: Snakedash w/o a buffer can be made decently easier with tap jump with the input (up-left/up-right > Jump + Zair), if you’re into that sorta thing. Otherwise Lucas is absolutely fucked up, high tier minimum, and I can’t wait you pop off with this character man.
Big fan of the video and I really like how you showcase snakedashing as a supplementary movement tool for ledgetraps and platform pressure. Really looking forward to future videos like this!
