So I've been trying to get all the technical skill along with follows ups with certain situations because Lucas seems like a cool as hell character but I'm always afraid to pull it out seriously online because my approaches and pressure are kinda eh..
Neutral
What I've been doing (like 80% of the time) is pretty much SH to delayed PKF so I can get it low enough to hit my opponent and I always come in with a fair when in hitstun, then to a jump magnet -> WD back and to some other stuff like nairs, more fairs, dairs, more MagWD and yeah. What I'm saying is that most of my openings are like this which is kinda repetitive despite the fact that I can follow up differently.
the other 20% percent of the time I just do some DD/WD to catch em for a nair to other follow ups or just approach simply with a Mag
So if you can, what are is your neutral game (and I can do pretty much all the tech required for Lucas so go all out of what you do)
Shield Pressure
This is something I can never get consistently with. Recently I found out I can do a SH Mag to a small JC nair and repeat. But I've seen some old, pre3.6 Lucas and saw Neon doing crazy **** with Mag to Mag to Aerial. But I don't know much back then, but it seems like you could jump out of mag much quicker than in 3.6
Also, I rarely grab with lucas unless my opponent is like 150% and just do a quick upthrow. But, around what percent should I start going for upthrows and when my opponent is like 30% to 90%, which throw is the best to convert to and with what?
DJC Aerials
I can't say I've mastered djc aerials because here and there I might go into shield accidentally after L-Canceling the djc aerial (and btw the way I'm doing it is X-> Analog Up-> Cstick-> L Button)
My main question, however, is when to use a djc aerial. The only advantage I see is that its good for comboing continous djc fairs or uairs onto spacies on something (or if I'm doing quick shield pressuring). Other than that I only use a djc aerial if I feel like looking cool or something haha because repeatedly SH fairing seems effective and practical enough
