Hey, I'm planning on maining Toon Link, and my roommate mains Lucas. We're mostly evenly matched, but he always seems to get me in the end. Most of Lucas's attacks have incredible range, often having seemingly invisble hitboxes that reach outside the animations of each attack. I've tried shuffling some bairs on him, but he's so short it's hard to do so effectively until he's at a rather high percentage. His aerials are pretty good - his dair has a longer reach (from what i've seen) than TL's uair, and his other aerials seem to out-prioritize TL's - although i might just not be bringing them out fast enough. On the ground most of the tilts and jabs he uses come out fast enough to beat TL's, and have very little lag to punish. Sometimes he misses an usmash/dsmash and i get a few strong hits in though. His fsmash, though has hardly any warning beforehand, and usually gets me. At a distance there isn't much problem, but when trying to advance his PK fires give me trouble. Also he loves PK thunder/freeze when i'm trying to recover. Freeze isn't much of a problem, but thunder gets really annoying.
I'm definitely not the most skilled TL player, but any general tips for getting an advantage on him? Thanks a lot in advance.
