It's not hard to psi magnet grenades. They can heal you from really far, even if the windbox blows it away. Lucas magnet is slightly worse than ness, but rope snake gives him a big spacing advantage in the air and in the grab game, and pk fire stuffs out grenade and dash attack approaches very well. The tough parts are that it's hard to punish snakes aerial approaches and nikita is good against up-b, but I think the matchup favors Lucas in spite of that.
Nikita is an excellent counter to Lucas/Ness's recoveries. Additionally, it is difficult to psi magnet grenades which takes away from their gameplay style. I would say that overall Snake wins the matchup by just a bit (6-4).
