Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl/Lucy Loud

Story

Sigh.

Lucy is the 5th Youngest of the Loud family, and is a very gloomy and stoic goth girl. Her uncanny ability to suddenly appear in places also applies to the Brawl! Lucy has a variety of moves to startle and creep the opponent. They really won't know what hit em with her teleport!

Gameplay

Lucy is a technical "install" character with short range and light weight, compensating for this with her truly privileged attack speed and being able to alter the attributes of her Special Attacks with her "Scare Mode" gimmick. In skilled hands, her combo game will leave anyone she faces feeling just as gloomy as she is.

By using her Neutral Special Dark Bite she will become coated with an aura indicating she is in either Vampire Mode or Ghost Mode. She can cycle through her modes by biting her opponent an additional time, and it always cycles with Vampire first and then Ghost second. In general, Vampire Mode is used for damage while Ghost Mode is used for additional maneuverability options.

If you're technically minded enough to take advantage of these two modes and to master each of their benefits, Lucy will put any foe you face into an early grave!

Strengths

Weaknesses

Two Morbid Modes: As stated above, Vampire and Ghost modes grant Lucy different kinds of benefits, and a skilled player can easily swap between the two with deadly efficiency by simply slipping in a Neutral Special in the middle of their combos. Your opponent won't know what hit 'em!
Privileged Lights: Lucy Loud does not have a Light Attack slower than Frame 5 and even has her Light Up Air come out on Frame 4, this allows Lucy to disrespect pressure better than most characters in the game and bully slower characters by simply having better frame data.
Jump Scare: Lucy's Down Special Jump Scare can either allow her to travel across the ground faster than any character in the game or to threaten early kills with her infamous Coffin.

Predictable Gameplan: Despite their boons, the two modes are also easy to counter. Switching modes requires you to hit the opponent with Dark Bite, and anyone familiar with the MU will know that's what Lucy will be fishing for and will do everything to make sure that doesn't happen. Someone with a longer reach like Leonardo or a solid projectile like Spongebob will do well in keeping Lucy from getting her fangs on them due to her close-range nature.
Extremely Fragile: Coming alongside the damage or knockback buffs of Lucy's two Scare Mode is the fact that they make this relatively lightweight character the lightest character in the game.

Moves List

Light Attacks

Three of Swords
5L / Neutral Light

"You will soon be blown away."

Damage	Startup Frames	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
8% / 10% / 6%	4	5 - 6	20	-6
Lucy pulls out the Three of Swords from her Tarot Card deck foreseeing The Opponent's Inevitable Demise! Lucy's Light Neutral is deceivingly large. So big in fact that it can hit behind her. It is a great tool for starting combos, juggling opponents, as well as jab locking! This move is great continuing combos, as well as getting insane damage for little to no risk.

Roundhouse Kick
8L / Up Light

"Failure. It is not an option, yet it's something you choose. The man with a plan is destined to lose."

Damage	Startup Frames	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
8% / 10% / 6%	4	5 - 7	22	-10
Lucy finally gets to use the moves Lynn Jr. taught to her against her will! Lucy's Up Light is a great tool for starting combos! It is great to send your opponent up to begin the aerial strings she is partly known for. If you get your timings right, you can shift you hurt box up so you can jump over low projectiles such as Hugh's Iconic Motorcycle!

Eight of Spades
2L / Down Light

"I dig a lot of graves, so I'm pretty handy with a shovel."

Damage	Startup Frames	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
8% / 10% / 6%	4	5 - 6	20	-6
Lucy pulls out her Full House cosplay from Lincoln's Ace Savvy Comic to put her shovel to work. One of Lucy's Most Infamous moves. A very fast horizontal movement that sets the opponent up for kill confirms. The move is -6 on shield meaning it is VERY hard to contest. Depending on Lucy's current mode, she can get a kill confirm depending on which angle you DI the move.

Ghost Float
66L / Run Light

"Am I floating?"

Damage	Startup Frames	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
8%	4	5 - 12	35	-26
Lucy confronts Lucille Loud, her Scottish Ancestor, to channel her into ghost mode and reek havoc onto the opponent! This is the key to everything Lucy has to offer. Easy Kill confirms as well as a simple move to confirm combos with dash cancels. If this move blocked, it puts Lucy in a lot of disadvantage so make sure to use it if you know you're going to hit the opponent!

Jumping/Air Light Attacks

Aerial Three of Swords
j5L / Jump Light

"Your stock will end in... tragedy."

Damage	Startup Frames	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
8% / 12% / 6%	4	5 - 6	20	-8
Lucy pulls out the Three of Swords from her Tarot Card deck foreseeing The Opponent's Inevitable Demise in the air! Unlike the grounded version, this move is great for messing with your opponent's DI when comboing them in the air. Very good move if your opponent is DIing in on you up airs. If your opponent No DIs and you're in vampire mode, it leads to the perfect angle for Jumpscare!

Aerial Roundhouse Kick
j8L / Jump Up Light

"Failure. It's all your fault, this streak of bad luck. No escape from this cycle in which you are stuck."

Damage	Startup Frames	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
8% / 12% / 6%	3	4 - 6	22	-8
Lynn's Training has really rubbed off on Lucy; she can do it even faster in the air! Another one of Lucy's infamous moves. Lucy's Up air is her fastest move starting on FRAME 4! Juggling is a breeze with this move and can be the finishing touch to the opponent if in Ghost mode or the fastest Damage per second in this game in Vampire mode.

Axe Kick
j2L / Jump Down Light

"Failure. You know there is no one else to blame. For the choices you make are always the same."

Damage	Startup Frames	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
10% / 14% / 7%	4	5 - 7	30	-16
Lucy finally gets to put her opponent to the ground with all her pent up aggression. In a professional manner of course. This move may've been a menace at launch, but now it's only a combo extender/edge guarding tool. Great to extend your combo if your opponent is getting too used to the air and lands them perfectly for a jab lock for a kill confirm. Also a great move to get out of juggling.

The piece of resistance of Lucy's moveset. Information on Lucy's different modes will be detailed here, and the frame data above represents her different modes as well. Standard Mode: After biting her opponent, it transforms her into one of her other 2 modes, Vampire and Ghost mode. During Standard Mode, Dark Bite will transform Lucy into Vampire Mode. (If the bite animation is interrupted by getting attacked, it will deal the 3%, but will not transform her.) A completed bite can be accomplished by either biting the opponent or biting a projectile. At high percentages, Dark Bite can combo into kill options. If Dark Bite is tapped, it will just do the bite. If Dark Bite is held during her Standard State, nothing will happen. Vampire Mode: Lucy's Vampire mode is easily her best mode due to it's ability to deal damage and kill early, at a price. You can enter Vampire Mode by getting a Successful Bite. You will also gain a red aura around you. If the bite is successful, it will transform Lucy into Ghost Mode. If Dark Bite is held during, Lucy will stall in the air, have an AOE around you that deals 3%, and release 4 bats above that fly up and last for 120 frames. If the bats were to connect to the enemy, it will deal 6%. The bats can be grabbed only if the opponent is at a higher elevation than you. After holding down Dark Bite, you will return back to Standard Mode. Although you leave Vampire mode, you will have a better recovery. Ghost Mode: Lucy's Ghost Mode is definitely her least exciting one. Ghost Mode is definitely the most safe out of the 3 mainly due to boosted jump height and invincibility. You will gain a white aura similar to Vampire Mode. If the bite is successful, it will transform Lucy into Vampire Mode. If Dark Bite is held, Lucy will have an AOE around you that deals 3% (roughly Twice as big as Vampire Mode's AOE). It will start on from frame 13 and last for 26 frames. 20 Frames into holding Dark Bite, Lucy will turn invisible for 180 frames. The only things you can see during this mode is particle effects such as Dash start up, attacks, and jumps. During the time of Invisibility, you will be Standard Lucy except for your inability to use Jumpscare.

Flight of the Bats
8P / Up Special

"Hurry, Fangs!"

Standard Mode: Flight of the Bats sends Lucy up using the power of her pet bat, Fangs. During the recovery, the bat does not have a hitbox, so don't get worried about getting gimped earlier. She gets sent into the air in a straight line vertically, however the angle can be adjusted. The max angle you can change in the recovery is 22.5°. The Recovery does not grab ledge. The recovery itself lasts for 44 frames. It can reach top blast zone if used on stage. Vampire Mode: Flight of the Bats in Vampire mode will send Lucy up at a 40° angle dependent at the direction you are facing. In Vampire Mode, you will not be able to adjust angle of which this travels. This move can be B-Reversed. This move will not grab ledge. 14 frames into the recovery, Fangs gets a hitbox that deals 4% and makes it easier for Lucy to recover. The bat hitbox lasts for 24 frames. The Recovery itself lasts for 44 frames. If you are directly under the ledge near the blast zone, it will would be best for you to get out of Vampire Mode so you have a better recovery that goes straight up. Ghost Mode: Lucy's worst recovery option. This recovery has you go up half the height as Standard Mode Up-Special, but will have you do a kick move that sends you back to the ground having 32 frames of endlag. Similar to Standard mode, this recovery goes directly up, and can be adjustable. You will go up for 40 frames and can adjust at an angle of 30°. During this phase, you will be able to move twice as fast left and right compared to Standard Recovery, however you will move the same speed as Standard when you do your kick down. The kick takes 25 frames to get back on the ground and deals 4% and will send opponents down. This will not be able to grab ledge on your way up. Still active for 6 frames upon landing Has 32 frames of landing lag in this mode.

Jump Scare
2P / Down Special

"You forgot me."

Standard Mode: Lucy's overall best move. In Standard Mode, it teleports her 1/4th of the length of Jellyfish Fields in 12 frames. It is a great move to get out of sticky situations, especially if you are off stage. In Standard Mode, this move can be jump cancelled. That means if you Jumpscare into jump-cancelled Jumpscare, you can teleport half the stage in just under half a second. With this, it is very easy to get an early bite to get into vampire mode, and it is very easy to get a kill using Strong Neutral Air when your opponent isn't expecting it. Vampire Mode: Lucy's overall best Kill move. On hit, the move will do 5% and deal heavy knockback, but it takes 55 frames to complete and Jumpscare only lasts for 2 frames, specifically on frame 14 and 15. If you Jumpscare off stage under the ledge, you will die. Vampire Mode Jumpscare travels 80% of the length of Standard Lucy Jumpscare. This move is entirely worth the risk, especially due to combos that lead into it. Ghost Mode: When you Jumpscare, you get 15 frames of Super Armor that start on frame 12. During these 15 frames, you can cancel into different moves, but you lose your invulnerability. Although it is better, it isn't worth the risk.

Grrr

Lucy's pent up aggression from the constant state of being forgotten released all at once! It serves as a reference to the Loud House episode, 'Spell it Out'.

Bat!

The universe is empty.
And there's nothing to be sure of but darkness.
There's no music in the void, 
so why bother anyway? 
Embrace the emptiness. 
Own the futility. 
The only song worth singing is silence.
