SSBU/Lucas/Combos

General Notes
Because Smash Ultimate's combos are very freeform, the following strings aren't full combos (unless stated otherwise). Think of a Smash combo as a LEGO building, in which you assemble different strings of moves in order to achieve a big combo.

Example Combos
{{TheoryBox This combo does not work past 30 to 35% onwards!! It works at around 0 to 20% for Fair but Zair is for opponents who already commited to DI out and airdodge. You usually have to dash between and then full hop forward air or zair. You can use bair or upair instead if they DI in. at 0% if they DI in at ledge you can hit a spike hitbox for Bair as a reactive followup. }}
