Lucas vs Greninja
Matchup Tips and Strategies
In the matchup against Greninja, focus on utilizing Lucas's Shield and Spotdodge to avoid his grabs, as he struggles to deal with characters that evade his close-range options. Be aware that while you cannot absorb Water Shuriken, you can jump over weaker versions and reflect fully-charged ones to turn the tide in your favor. Maintain control of the stage, using PK Freeze to zone Greninja and punish his recovery attempts, while also keeping an eye on his Shadow Sneak to avoid getting caught off-guard. Capitalize on your superior recovery to edge guard Greninja, as your ability to manipulate your position can force him into unfavorable spots.
