    Do expert Lucario players use Double Team?

    (Disclaimer: Xaile is not an expert Lucario player.) Do I use Double Team? Not very often... The main reason I use it so sparingly is because it's so SLOW to come out. Back in Melee I played Roy for the longest time and I loved his counter, because it came out when I hit down-B. I...

    The Aura is within!

    Back when I lived with my brother, we used to use Ye Olde VCR for recording purposes. More specifically, we ran the GCN AV cables to Ye Olde VCR and ran a Coaxial cable from Ye Olde VCR, split the signal, and had one go to the TV and the other go to my brother's computer where it was recorded...

    Jahay, the Newbie Lucario In-Training!

    Hey, someone else from Washington. :) I should take the opportunity to WiFi at you; since you're close, there should be little lag (in theory). But... I'm at work right now, so I obviously can't do WiFi at this moment. :( Maybe later today or sometime else in the near future?

    I want you to hit me as hard as you can. For a noble cause!

    You are full of lies!.... ... Lucario has no spikes! (Well, except for the spikes on his hands and chest, but those aren't the same kind of spikes.)

    I want you to hit me as hard as you can. For a noble cause!

    Sounds like fun, I sent you a PM with finer details (like FC, yadda yadda). I hate dittos, though, so I'd probably practice a secondary character. Edit: That was fun, you're pretty good. :) We'll have to fight again sometime.

    The Lucario Chat room! Everything Lucario!

    I like the Close Combat idea and Milln's Idea (not necessarily in that order). While Lucario's Final Smash looks cool, it is freakishly easy to avoid (not that this comes up terribly often). By the way, I've posted a little bit here and there, but I've never really introduced myself. My name...

    Main Playing Style?

    I play a very campy Lucario, making them approach me with Aura Spheres. Most people will jump and try to land on your character with an aerial attack, which is easy to either shield or roll away from (with Lucario's amazing roll). Even better, they're ever going to land somewhere that wont hit...

    Questions about "Random"

    Well, here's an interesting scenario, let's say that you were in a best-of-three against another person. I think it might be interesting, if you were familiar enough on the characters, not to select random on the first match, but to select it on the second. On the first match, pick a...

    secondary coincedince?

    My Lucario has: Aura Sphere: Standard Special Fighting Attack. Vaccuum Wave: To deal with speedy fragile pokemon, especially Weavile (that boasts a 4x Weakness to Fighting), but also good for others like Aerodactyl. Dark Pulse: To deal with Psychics and Ghosts, who are Resistant/Immune to...

    secondary coincedince?

    Hey, what a coincidence! That's exactly the role Lucario fills on my team (it took forever to get Hidden Power Ice, though :( ) Back on topic, though, I do not secondary Sonic. I don't even like him as a character. (However, that hasn't stopped me from playing other fun characters in the...

    Do any of your friends consider lucario cheap?

    I used to play Lucario against my brother on a fairly regular basis, and while my brother has never called Lucario cheap, he had become annoyed with how projectile spammy/campy I end up being, forcing him to approach by using Aura Sphere, then batting him away with aerials. My brother is a...

    Aerials while holding a banana

    Yeah, that's precisely what it is, down-B while holding a banana will let you do an aerial afterwards without throwing the banana you have. It actually doesn't matter if you actually pull out a banana with down-B (like if you already have 2 bananas out), as long as you do the animation, you can...

    Aerials while holding a banana

    Yeah, both are situational. The first one isn't so much a technique as it is an explanation why someone might randomly get an aerial instead of throwing a banana. For example...pulled from the "F-Smash While Holding a Banana" Thread: I agree about the second one being situational as...

    Overused or GOOD?

    Metaknight is like the (Melee) Sheik of Brawl, a fantastic character that's easy to pick up and play once and a while (assuming you know the basics of the character), that will likely remain near the top of the (currently not-yet-created) tier list. Falco, on the other hand, is annoying to...

    Up Smash?

    I usually only U-Smash on accident with Diddy, usually intending it to be an U-Tilt, as a follow up to dash attack at lower percents. That said, it is useful at low percents, and can be followed into U-Airs fairly well (as others have said).
