Super Smash Bros. Brawl/Lucario


 * Lucario needs to be unlocked

Lucario has a unique moveset, almost totally different from that of Mewtwo, whom he has replaced for this game, so you will need to practice to become a master with this Pokémon.
 * It has a long attack range. Its aura-based attacks effectively double its reach.
 * The higher its damage meter is, the more damage it can inflict on its opponent (a good way to measure is by charging its Aura Sphere).

"The Aura is mine!"

Special Attacks

 * Aura Sphere||A single blue sphere which can be controlled by how much damage it gives by holding the B-button longer. The speed and strength of the ball will be determined by the % of Lucario: higher % is better.
 * Force Palm||A single blast. Best used for close-combat. It changes from an Aura attack with decent range to a close combat move, which deals extra damage.
 * Extreme Speed||Super-fast and can be controlled during the whole move by the pad or stick. Best used for recovery, as it causes no damage when colliding with an opponent.
 * Double Team||A reaction move, used as a counter: When struck while using this move, Lucario vanishes and then reappears with a low but powerful kick. Best used when in the fray.

Final Smash
Aura Storm: Lucario flies into the skies and fires a large beam of aura, which can be aimed in almost any direction below him. When initialized, this attack will begin by firing straight down (however you can change this by holding the control stick to either side). It can then be angled either to the left or right by holding the control stick in the desired direction (the direction of your enemy!). You can change the angle at any time.

The problem with this attack is that Lucario turns slowly - your enemy will easily outrun the attack and hover above the beam until it dissipates. However against a non-flying opponent this is more effective (for example against Bowser, Gannondorf, or Ike). If you know which side your enemy will be on, make sure you tilt the beam before it fires so you can lift it even higher - however this still will not guarantee a hit because the attack can be air dodged.

In team battles you can use this attack to assist your teammate - either as a defensive mechanism (hide inside or on the other side of the beam), or offensive (knock them into the beam).
