Lucario has received a mix of buffs and nerfs in the transition from ''Smash 4'' to ''Ultimate'', receiving noticeable buffs in game updates but being nerfed overall. The most notable nerf is to its Aura mechanic, as Lucario's Aura multiplier is worse than it was in ''Smash 4'' despite 1v1 multipliers now giving a slight advantage. This, when combined with the universal weakening of the rage mechanic, makes Lucario noticeably less powerful at higher percentages, while its reduced weight makes it even easier to KO and makes harder for it to rely on rage and Aura combined. Furthermore, some of Lucario's most reliable moves have been made less effective, with down aerial halting its momentum less if overused, back aerial being weaker, Double Team having a drastically shorter duration and intangibility and Aura Sphere can no longer be grab-canceled. While Lucario still has a strong recovery, Extreme Speed's controls have been modified to the point where holding down the control stick can accidentally lead to self-destruction, it covers less distance overall and stops its momentum at the end, worsening its recovery, especially at lower percentages. Finally, the changes in DI and air dodging, has the overall effect of limiting or even outright removing some of Lucario's previously guaranteed combos from throw, which were some of the only reliable ways for it to add damage. | |||

Lucario | However, it did receive some buffs. Lucario's overall mobility has been greatly improved due to faster horizontal movement, while the universal 3-frame jumpsquat further improves Lucario's ability to traverse the stage. Many of its attacks in general, notably its dash attack, forward smash, neutral aerial and forward aerial, are faster, more reliable and less of hindrance, while its special moves have also been improved: Aura Sphere can now be cancelled into a jump or any ground attack during a charge, allowing for mixup options, Force Palm has more range, Double Team can now home in on opponents and is much faster overall, and Extreme Speed is overall safer due to its ending and previously notorious landing lag both being lowered. | ||
Despite its many buffs, Lucario's nerfs generally outweigh the buffs it received and is considered to be worse than its iteration in Smash 4 at launch. To make matters worse, Lucario was nerfed again in patch 2.0.0 which led to {{Sm|ANTi}} dropping the character as well as Lucario not having a significant impact in America. However, {{Sm|Tsu}} continues to use Lucario and has done very well at many Japanese tournaments. The multitude of buffs in patch 3.1.0 also grant Lucario much more favorable hitboxes and consistency, making its overall placement uncertain. | |||

When ''Ultimate'' got released, many players noticed that Lucario had a lot of potential and that it was better than its already strong ''Smash 4'' incarnation. This was due to many of its options either becoming faster and more reliable along with the character greatly befitting from the game's mechanics. On top of this, {{SSBU|Donkey Kong}}, who was previously considered to be a hard counter to Lucario in ''Smash 4'', was now an easier matchup. Because of this, many players considered Lucario as a solid high-tier character with some saying it had potential to rise into top tier. | |||
'' | Unfortunately, as the meta advanced, players recognized that the character's nerfs overshadowed the many buffs it received. This was because of aura's overall weaker damage multiplier, down air not being as safe for disadvantage, Aura Sphere having less versatility, its recovery being worse, the removal of some of its kill confirms, and some characters such as {{SSBU|Bowser}}, {{SSBU|Wario}}, and {{SSBU|Ness}} proving to be very troublesome for Lucario. As a result, players' opinions on Lucario dropped and it obtained a below average playerbase through Ultimate's metagame, with many players such as {{Sm|ESAM}} claiming that it is a mid-tier character at best. Despite this, players such as {{Sm|Tsu}} and {{Sm|Jeda}} have still placed fairly well at tournaments: Tsu placed 5th at {{Trn|Umebura Japan Major 2019}}, while Jeda placed 13th at {{Trn|Syndicate 2019}} and 17th at {{Trn|Albion 4}}. As of now, Lucario's current state of viability is uncertain. | ||
