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, he appears to have many normal moves that are similar to Ness's attacks.

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.
