Snake vs Lucas
In the matchup against Lucas, focus on closing the distance quickly, as his projectiles can be punishing if you stay at range. Utilize your physical attacks, particularly your neutral aerial, to pressure him and push him away from the stage, while being wary of his PK Fire and PK Freeze. When recovering, aim to go high to avoid his PK Freeze, as it can easily lead to your demise; instead, use your explosives strategically to keep him guessing and punish his attempts to absorb projectiles. Offstage, your Nikita missile can be a strong tool to edge out his recovery, giving you a chance to capitalize on his vulnerabilities.
