Strengths

Weaknesses

A great number of moves with forward momentum allow Luke to threaten from further than most characters
Far reaching 3 frame and forward advancing target combo let Luke pick up punishes unlike any other
Reliable conversions from anything along with high damage makes every hit from Luke hurt
Great use of meter for extending combos, keeping up the pressure, and playing neutral
Two great V-Triggers that can force the opponent to engage with him due to their unique timer

Lacking pressure options, with his only real reliable pressure tool being b.mp
Flash Knuckles require manual charging for combos, and may be awkward at first.
No reliable fireball answer other than his own fireball
