Don't ask a question that you could have easily answered for yourself and then complain that you were too lazy and/or incompetent to do so.

By the same token, don't come to a character discussion and act like you know anything about them when you clearly don't.

now i wasn't complaining. i was just explaining that i didn't check the date, so i didn't know. i wasn't necessarily complaining that it wasn't my fault i didn't check the date, although it may have sounded like that.

And lucario's counter may be strong, but it's obvious when he's going to do it and it leaves him vulnerable. plus it sometimes fails.

lolwut

With any good lucario that i've seen its not even remotely obvious when they will use it; given that it does make you vulnerable though, and it can miss.(Which is why it is used very sparingly)

In fact, i used it as a final blow in a tourney match yesterday and won because i tricked the opponent i was playing into falling for it(Which to my knowledge is the entire point of the move). Anyone watching would of said it wasn't obvious at all that i was about to use it.

Yes, I didn't spell it right for a reason. It was a joke. And no, it wasn't very funny.

And no, no ones going to flame you for double posting.
We'll do that for other reasons.

I have said this many times. IC's are completely misunderstood. They are amazing. End of statement.

Now I don't want to turn this into an IC's thread, so let's take this somewhere else. Shall I say, to the IC discussion thread?

not really. now lets stay on subject and talk about lucario.

lucario has a very powerful side b which can come in handy as a punishment.

You know what, let's not. Putting it as gently as possible, you obviously don't even come close to knowing enough about Lucario to talk about him. Please stop.

What is a punishment to you?

to me... a punishment is the concequence of a penatly... or... as most see it... a counter...i do not see this in FP.

FP i see as a great link AFTER many diffrent types of moves(tilts + jabs spesifically)...... It is perhaps the only link move in the game aside from shiek and CF that links to itself so consecitively that its somewhat scary (to bad all are dodgeable because of directional input with floaty chars >_<) but.... also it has a very short range...

Im sorry but I cannot see FP as a punishment...

Mimic and Milln need to get together or something.
Cause the both of you are on a quest to give FP a better name.

We say its not all that great, but who knows we might be proved elsewise and you and Milln can pull a "Told ya so, B!tches!"

@2skiled
And FP is Lucario's longest grab. Which isn't saying much compared to a missing grab range. But its still the longest both on the ground and Net catching (grabbing them out of the air).

Don't lump me in with him, please. He's clueless.

Also, Force Palm Grab is great.

Milln, find a way to grab in the air with FP.
....
Please? :3

Okay, kidding. I'm trying to work it into my game without overusing it. But other than early-on chaingrabs I haven't been able to be especially effective with it.

No it hasnt happened.
Unless you can make a platform out of the air, then you can FPG.
But other then that, no you cannot.

okay i was wrong about the punishment, but his side be can be used as a chain grab. thus, it is potentially powerful

QUESTION!

This confuses me greatly... has anyone experienced random breakfalls during ES while close to the ground or TRIPING during ES when close to the ground?
and has anyone seen lucario use DT... but flies backwards instead of his forward kick?

what is there that i dont know?

omg i wish i could get vids...

There's a glitch with Luc's DT where if you're against certain walls or angled platforms you'll DT backwards. You can also change the direction Luc approaches by tapping the opposite direction just after triggering DT.

No Bombs??
Dodging, DT'ing or just shielding the items is a great way to start.

Lucairo has overall better range, how you got completly destroyed in the air is beyond me. Perhaps it was that you where doing the same moves tricefold, and thus made you predictable. If you have to really, stop in mid chain, and back off, allowing you to "mindgame" the TL with a different move.

If you keep TL guessing on what you'll do next, he'll begin to do moves that cover all moves. Then TL is the predictable one.

AS is your friend. TL's items will stop most AS, but the same advantage works for Lucario. Meaning your spam happy toon link, will no longer have those safeguards to help him. Its a loss on both sides, but a bigger casualty on TL's side of the match.
