Lucas

Lucas is a character from the EarthBound/Mother series, who debuted in the Japan-Only game, Mother 3. He will be appearing in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, as a playable character, representing the EarthBound series. Lucas's Special Moveset is almost exactly like Ness's from the previous games, but with a few minor tweaks. All his normal moves, and Smash Attacks, however, are completely different. He will also use the Rope Snake as his Grab move, as well as his Tether Recovery move. Lucas is seen with a home-run bat in a recent video, just like what Ness has. Lucas's home stage will be New Pork City.

Lucas was originally meant to replace Ness in Super Smash Bros. Melee. However, Mother 3 (at that time, known as EarthBound 64), was delayed for 2006 for release on the Game Boy Advance. As such, Ness was kept in Super Smash Bros. Melee to avoid confusion.

Lucas
''The younger of twin brothers living in Tazumili Village in the Nowhere Islands. He's a kind boy who can communicate with animals, but he's shy and never really got over the tragedy that struck his mother. He fights a warped dictatorship, hunts the Seven Needles, and crosses swords with his missing brother, Klaus. In the end, the young boy with psychic PSI powers grows up.''

Lucas (Final Smash)
''Lucas's Final Smash. He pulls a large group of stars from the sky and sends them smashing down among his enemies, causing damage to one and all. In Mother 3, this move was used by Lucas's traveling companion, Princess Kumatora. As Ness learned this move from Poo, Princess Kumatora taught Lucas when he learned he would appear in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.''

Trivia

 * Although Masahiro Sakurai said he would not be putting an emphasis on Japan-only characters in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Lucas is indeed a Japan-only character - his game, Mother 3, was only available in Japan.
 * One of his alternate colors is that of his brother, Claus, this makes a great costume considering that Lucas and Claus were twins even though Lucas was younger.
