Lucas is a character full of surprises in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. With powerful footstool combos, decent zoning tools and arguably the best tether grab in the game, this psychic child has a fair few tricks in his back pocket which can deal huge damage. After doing some experimentation with Lucas’ PSI Magnet, Lucas main magnetgoat has discovered quite the trap which can be used after absorbing an energy projectile.
In addition to being cancelled by rolling, jumping or spotdodging, it is possible to cancel PSI Magnet into an up smash after absorbing a projectile like a Mario fireball or one of Megaman’s pellets. Once the projectile has been absorbed, Lucas players can jump cancel the Magnet which can then in turn be jump cancelled into an up smash. As with many Smash techs, it has been given an overly complicated initialism, with magnetgoat calling it the JCUS OOM or the Jump-Cancelled Up Smash Out of Magnet. While it sounds tricky to say and do, it acts as a fantastic punish against players who approach with projectiles and will guarantee either a kill or massive damage if performed successfully.
Lucas’ upsmash is a move with substantial recovery on it, so any way to ensure a hit with it is good news for Lucas mains. This is definitely something to watch out if you are a character with an energy projectile when playing against a Lucas.
