Having trouble againest Lucas

[MrPancakes]

I seem to be having trouble againest him because most of his moves are quick and able to reflect my bananas. If I throw a banana, he'll usually use his bat and reflect it and I approach, he'll either use it again or shield then grab me. I hate his bat so much cause of its decent range, quick and decently strong oh and because it reflects.

I can't seem to play any mind games on him either, any advice on that?

get lucas in the air and fighting him is a cake walk. dont attack him with an aerial if he is on the ground

I mostly play my diddy against a lucas. Try to get him down below the platform. Diddy rules that area with an iron fist. Easy edge-hog too.

you edgehog? hmm i kinda thought he would hit u if u tried to do that. i usually just jump out and try to hit him before he gets his pk thunder off

Stick Lucas in the air and it should be easier that way now.

STAY LOW.

Crawl around don't run. Don't let him see you.

Um, false? It works with Ness's, but Lucas's up-b goes through people...

I've tried hanging on the edge against a recovering Lucas. His up-b went through me (stagespike) and then it still helped him recover.

Edgeguarding is also one of the way you can actually kill with Diddy, his bair can be used twice if SH'ed and his fair is great too

Well if you see em coming tward get back up on the stage. just make sure that he makes contact with you while you are in your flashing frames from getting up off the edge. Your invincible while he is trying to grab the edge with you on it and he's dead.

This takes timing up can potentioaly deal with alot of diff char up-b. Lucas can be alittle tricky because sometimes he can waggle his PKT out alittle longer before going into PKT2 thus screwing with your timing.

If you keep getting the 'naners batted back at you, you're throwing them from way too far away. A good thing to do with bananas is to go into your attack approach like you would without a banana, pause, throw it near point-blank, then continue with your assault. The fact that it's an instantaneous mess-up against anyone who gets hit by it should encourage you to use it up close rather than far away. Also, people recover from it quickly, so you have to be ready the instant it happens.

Cakewalks are actually very hard.

This should not be that bad of a match. I easily two stock my friend who mains him. Even though the bananas seem to not work, they do. Try to use both bananas and space them. You dont have to make him slip, it well cause distractions and can open up for mind games. Aforementioned, edgeguard lucas's up b.

Anyone have any tips for recovering against an edgehogging lucas? My friend always PKT spikes me, and I can air dodge it or cancel it occasionally, but quite frequently I get hit by his downsmashing the edge
