This is Lucía:
If you’re not already shaking in fear, you’re likely missing a little context here. Lucía is a Mii who has appeared in Wii series games since the original Wii Sports, where she was a pretty mediocre athlete. In Wii Sports Resort, however, she really hit her stride and became an absolute beast at table tennis, appearing as the Champion—the final NPC that players need to defeat before mastering the sport.
When successor Nintendo Switch Sports Resort was announced back in June, fans of the series initially lamented the game’s lack of Miis, with some even deeming the setting of Wuhu Island as “colonized” by Sportsmates, which were the avatars that largely replaced Miis in Nintendo Switch Sports. But Mii NPCs ended up making a partial return in Switch Sports Resort, and players can even turn up their frequency so they essentially replace Sportsmates. Most importantly, the iconic Mii Champions from Wii Sports Resort have returned.
Lucía, however, is especially nightmarish to defeat, and quite a few players have taken to the internet to commiserate about their table tennis losses against her. Look at this breakneck-paced clip of a player trying to win a single point against her:

Some players are certainly happy to see the return of the contentious NPC, which has rekindled memories of the Wii era. Others, however, were immediately jaded upon seeing her return:

Other fans shared posts asking if anyone has even been able to defeat Lucía yet. Some commenters shared their victories, but others joined in on the complaining.
One player even shared (via Twitter’s automatic translation) that they had to put on a compress and go to bed after over an hour of nonstop Lucía matches. Sigh.
湿布貼って寝たけど、右腕がなかなかに痛んでる😱
それにしても私は前作知らない人だけどルシーアはみんなに好かれとるのね🥳
ただ稽古つけてもらったクリップあげただけなのに、こんなにリアクションついとるとは😅 https://t.co/QVjkY3gd2n— みさわのエルボー！ (@Iam_shizuokan) October 22, 2026
I’m headed to pick up my copy of Switch Sports Resort tonight. Please keep me in your thoughts, and please send some negative vibes in Lucía’s general direction.
