The full extent of PK Freeze's power.
PK Freeze is the name of Lucas's Standard Special Move, and it acts very similarly to Ness's PK Flash. When the player uses PK Freeze, Lucas fires a PSI-based snowflake into the air, charging up its power while the crystal hovers in the air. After the snowflake charges enough, it will explode, freezing anyone in the surrounding area, as well as harshly damaging the players who are hit. Lucas does not have to wait for the snowflake to charge completely, however, and can unleash its icy energy when the time seems right. Lucas will stop the attack if he gets hit, much like Ness will stop when attacked during his PK Flash. After using it in midair, Lucas will enter a helpless falling animation. Compared to PK Flash, PK Freeze travels much further and charges much faster. PK Freeze does gain slight power and the opponent stays frozen longer if PK Freeze is at its largest. At its smallest, the opponent is frozen for a shorter period of time.
Origin
PK Freeze is one of the many PSI moves used in the EarthBound series. Also like Ness, this technique is a perfect example of PSI techniques being "borrowed" by Smash characters. In MOTHER 3, Lucas did not possess PK Freeze; Kumatora did.
