Lucario is definately a good character with so many things going for him, but I'm making this thread mainly for new players who think his aura ability is "Godly".
Really, it's not quite as impressive as you'd think.
Firstly, Lucario is a fragile character. He's floaty, mid-weight and has a mediocre recovery. Once he hits 120, you should start to worry about getting hit. It's not safe beyond this point, which means that at his OPTIMAL % of 70, Lucario only has a damage multiplier of 1.2 or 1.3. That's only 20-30% more damage to your attacks, and a miniscule increase in KO power.
To begin with, Lucario's attacks are all quite weak in the first place. A 30% modifier on an Fsmash gives you a 13% damage Fsmash that's almost as slow as Ike's Fsmash, but with a third of the KO power. And this is only at 70%, in which you can be KOed by moves like Fox's U-smash and Luigi's Fire punch.
So yeah. If you find yourself surviving past 120%, start thinking pessimistically! (continued next post, Wii browser word limit.)
