Attributes
Lucina has been described as being a clone character of Marth, similarly to how Roy was in Melee. The main difference is that she doesn't have Marth's "strong sword tip" ability, making her attacks less damage-fluctuant.

Differences from Marth
While being a full clone, they do have small differences, mostly in some move properties as well few animations.
 * Lucina's sword does not a tipper hitbox, like Marth's, meaning that her blade will deal equal damage on the same part. This means Lucina's attacks deals slightly more damage and knockback than Marth's non-tipped attacks.
 * However, she does not have the powerful sweetspot Marth has, meaning his tipped attacks are vastly superior in both damage and knockback.
 * Lucina is slightly smaller than Marth. Her sword is also slightly shorter.
 * All Taunts and Victory Poses.
 * Her Up Tilt deals increased damage by the end, against enemies behind her.
 * Her Down Aerial is her only attack that has a tipper hitbox and requires the same hitbox as Marth's in order to cause Meteor Smash.
 * Her Forward Aerial, Back Aerial and Dancing Blade are faster than Marth's.
 * On the other hand, Marth's Neutral Attack, all Tilts, Forward Smash, Down Smash, Up Aerial and Dolphin Slash are faster than Lucina's.
 * Her Shield Breaker deals slightly less damage than Marth's and has a different animation.
 * Her Counter has a different animation for the pose.

Lucina
''Chrom's daughter and the future Princess of Ylisse. When she arrives from a doomed future seeking to prevent it from ever happening, she goes by the name Marth before her identity is revealed. She fights much like her adopted namesake, but her entire blade is equally powerful instead of having a more powerful tip.''
 * 3DS - Fire Emblem Awakening (02/2013)

Lucina (Alt.)
''Lucina's moves are much like Marth's, but there are subtle differences. With Marth, you need to try to hit with the tip of his sword, but Lucina's sword is equally powerful all along the blade. Her Shield Breaker move lets her attack opponents and break their shields at the same time. Charge it fully to shatter shields in one hit.''

Trivia

 * Lucina is the only newcomer who has a question mark in her character entrance shot.
 * Lucina is the second newcomer to not have her own Official Artwork nor special video in the official Smash Bros. Site, the first being the Mii Fighter. However, Lucina did made her appearance in Robin's Official Artwork and special video, which may be the reason they do not appear on her page.
 * Lucina is the only newcomer not to get a larger banner like all other newcomers have on the main page of Smash Bros site. However, the larger banner is present if viewing the official Smash Bros. Site from some mobile devices, and there's a new update on the website that makes all the newcomer's banner to be removed, meaning the Lucina was the first character to have that feature.
 * Masahiro Sakurai has stated that Lucina was originally meant to be an alternate costume for Marth. However, it was later decided to make her slightly shorter than Marth, as well as changing her sword's properties which required her to become her own character.
 * All of Lucina's costumes are based on various female characters from Fire Emblem: Awakening. From left to right: Nowi, Cherche, Cordelia, Tiki, Lissa, Tharja, and Sumia.
 * Lucina is the first female character to be unlockable, as all of the other unlockable characters, including the ones from the past three games, are either male or gender-neutral (specifically Pokemon).
 * Lucina is the first female clone in the Super Smash Bros. series. She is also the second clone based on Marth, the first being Roy.
 * Lucina is the only unlockable character to be officially revealed before the game's release. As such, Lucina is the only unlockable character on the official Smash website who is not listed under the secret characters section, as she is available to view from the website, but is locked when first starting the game.
 * Lucina is the only unlockable character in the Wii U version to appear in the game's opening.
