In the Subspace Emissary, Lucas is shown as a weak, shy and timid figure, almost identically to how he appeared in the beginning of Mother 3. Lucas first appears alone in [[smashwiki: The Ruined Zoo|The Ruined Zoo]], and is attacked by The Pig King Statue, which chases him throughout The Ruined Zoo. He trips over a branch and gets stuck, but Ness arrives to save him from the giant [[Porky Statue|Pig King Statue]], which is soon revealed to be [[Porky Minch]]. Lucas and Ness team up to defeat Porky. After the two defeat Porky, [[smashwiki: Wario|Wario]] arrives with his [[smashwiki: Dark Cannon|strange cannon]] and attempts to hit Ness with it. Ness dodges his attacks, so Wario tries to attack Lucas instead. Lucas doesn't move out of the way, so Ness ends up taking the hit himself. Lucas, scared, runs away and escapes Wario. | In the Subspace Emissary, Lucas is shown as a weak, shy and timid figure, almost identically to how he appeared in the beginning of Mother 3.

Later, he meets the [[smashwiki: Pokémon Trainer|Pokémon Trainer]], and they join to fight the Subspace Army, as Lucas cannot forget what Wario had done to Ness. Outside the Ruins, the Pokémon Trainer decides to capture a Charizard that flew by. Before entering them, however, they are ambushed by Wario. They defeat him, but Lucas becomes disappointed that Wario doesn't have Ness with him anymore. After capturing [[smashwiki: Charizard|Charizard]] and an [[smashwiki: Ivysaur|Ivysaur]] inside the Ruins, Lucas and the Pokémon Trainer reach the Ruined Hall, where they are attacked by [[smashwiki: Galleom|Galleom]] (Who falls from the roof after he was previously defeated by [[smashwiki: Meta Knight|Meta Knight]], [[smashwiki: Marth|Marth]], and [[smashwiki: Ike|Ike]]). After defeating him, Galleom takes them and starts flying into the air, with a Subspace Bomb in his head about to go off. Lucas frees himself and the Pokémon Trainer, and they are then saved by Meta Knight, whose team they then join. | Later, he meets the [[smashwiki: Pokémon Trainer|Pokémon Trainer]], and they join to fight the Subspace Army, as Lucas cannot forget what Wario had done to Ness.

Lucas retains his moveset from Brawl but received notable buffs: the removal of {{Sw|hitstun cancelling}} allows Lucas to take advantage of his fast speed, useful projectiles, and disjointed hitboxes to heavily improve his combo game, plus his recovery was also improved with PK Thunder and Rope Snake covering more distance. His biggest buff was the removal of the extra 10 grab-release frames that was originally a big threat to his survivability. Because of this his tournament represented is significantly better than in Brawl, he is currently tied with Ness and is ranked 28th out of 55 on the current tier list, a huge improvement from his placement in Brawl. | Lucas retains his moveset from Brawl but received notable buffs: the removal of {{Sw|hitstun cancelling}} allows Lucas to take advantage of his fast speed, useful projectiles, and disjointed hitboxes to heavily improve his combo game, plus his recovery was also improved with PK Thunder and Rope Snake covering more distance.
