Of course, Lucario's biggest advantage is its [[aura]]. A Lucario at KO percent gains enough extra damage on its attacks to reduce the opponent's survivability by a few dozen percent, in addition to increasing the already-large hitbox size of most of its moves. Aura also increases Lucario's power when it is behind in the match; both these factors combined allow it more chance to stage a comeback than some other characters. Other tools include [[Aura Sphere]], a multi-purpose projectile that can bother approaches or KO at high percents (for both players). | Of course, Lucario's biggest advantage is its [[aura]].

Most of its ground attacks are also on the slow side, and its ground speed is slightly below average (although it does have a fast [[fox-trot]]), so it must use its aerials to keep the opponent out of close range. But the biggest problem is that aura is a two-way street; when at low damage (such as at the start of every stock) Lucario's entire moveset is weakened, and when it has a lead in stocks its power decreases even further, which makes it difficult to make headway on the opponent at the start of a match and can make it harder to hold a lead than some other characters. The reduced damage also comes with reduced power, meaning Lucario has a hard time getting KOs until its damage reaches a certain amount. It also lacks a [[meteor smash]] outside of [[Footstool Jump]]s, its recovery cannot deal damage and so is a bit easier to interrupt (plus it cannot fight off [[Edge-hogging|edgehoggers]] at all), and its counter move ([[Double Team]]) is too slow to be useful, and the counterattack can even be shielded. | ||
Lucario is the epitome of risk versus reward. Its aura rewards it for falling behind and punishes it for pulling ahead, encouraging close matches and come-from-behind victories. | Lucario is the epitome of risk versus reward.
