Super Smash Bros Ultimate Full Character Roster, plus guides on every fighter in the game, covering changes, moves and alternate outfits.
Super Smash Bros Ultimate is set to bring the largest roster we’ve seen in the series yet. It will feature every fighter from all previous Smash Bros games, as well as some new characters like Ridley and Inkling. With all of those characters to choose from, we figured we’d put together a guide on each, highlighting what’s changed since their last appearance, what the final smash is this time around, and what to expect in terms of alternate costumes. In this Super Smash Bros Ultimate Lucas Guide, we’ll be detailing Lucas. Specifically, we’ll be looking at the changes that have been made since his last appearance, what his Final Smash is, and what Alternate Costumes you can select.
