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. Although none of his moves have been confirmed yet, one of his attacks showed him apparently "tossing" some electricity into the air. Otherwise, he has a similiarity to Ness's moveset.

Trivia

 * 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 GameBoy Advance. As such, Ness was kept in Super Smash Bros. Melee to avoid confusion.
 * Although Masahiro Sakurai said he would be keeping most Japan-only characters out of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Lucas is indeed a Japan-only character - his game, Mother 3, was only available in Japan.
 * In a recent scan of Famitsu Magazine, Lucas has been seen using the Rope Snake, an attack of one of his party members, Duster. Whether this is an item or his side special move is currently unknown, though the magazine does point to it being a move.
