Hey everybody, fellow Lucas secondary.
Spacing with Lucas can be pretty hard.. SH PK Fire are great and all but it can be easy to dodge and passby. Z-Air is also great for his low endlag (no end lag) but I have trouble following after it versus pretty good players.
I've started spacing a little bit with SH F-Air. I usually do an in and out mouvement while doing it, I go in and when the hitboxe come out, I go out.
If I hit the other character I will follow after them that is not the problem.
The problem is that F-Air when sweetspot deals a lot of damage and will put the other player in a bad position and if they miss a tech it can be followed by a jab lock. It's a great move that kills, setup for kills, and deals so much damage.
But the endlag of the move scare me. If the other powershield it he will punish me easily, I have a Fox Up Smash in my head right now.
So..? What do I have to do? Is F-Air a great move and should be use as much as PK Fire and Z-Air? Is it the genre of move that will be a big part of Lucas neutral like R.O.B. N-Air? As you can tell I have trouble with Lucas neutral. I just don't know what to do if they are shielding a lot. Lucas grab is pretty predictible and I will always get punish for it because it's too obvious when a Lucas goes in for a grab.
So guys, is F-Air a great move and how can I improve it in my arsenal?
(I must tell you that I'm a very defensive player who love the poke and run kind of style of fighting. I love to hit the hardest when I can punish them and go back to a defensive game.)
