===Tier placement and history=== | |||
Lucario has always been one of the prominent high tier characters in ''Brawl''. It was ranked 9th on the first tier list (September 2008). Though it dropped to 14th place on the third tier list (July 2009), players such as {{Sm|Junebug}}, {{Sm|Trela}}, and {{Sm|Lee Martin}} gained great tournament results with Lucario, allowing it to be able to maintain a position around 11-12th since then. Lucario is currently ranked 11th place in the upper-mid tier, in the eighth and current tier list, as of April 2013. | |||

Lucario has a good matchup spread. It is countered by 2 characters, soft countered by 8, has 7 even matchups, soft counters 7, counters 11, and hard counters 1, which is {{SSBB|Ganondorf}}. Lucario's strong air game gives it an advantage against characters like {{SSBB|Pikachu}}. Lucario also counters more low tiers than even some top tiers. However, it has a hard time competing with the top tiers, particularly {{SSBB|Meta Knight}} and {{SSBB|King Dedede}} (the latter is below him on the tier list). For example, King Dedede's defensive prowess walls Lucario out, not to mention he can chaingrab Lucario. Lucario has very solid matchups overall. | Lucario has a good matchup spread.
