Lugia: Difference between revisions

Lugia features as a collectible trophy, unlocked as one of the 100+ trophies that can be collected randomly during normal play, such as in the Trophy Lottery and throughout the various Single-player Regular Matches, though it only appears once 200 VS matches have been played. It reads as follows:

:''The waters of the Whirl Islands are home to this legendary Pokémon, whom few have seen. Lugia lives quietly in the deepest ocean trenches for one very good reason: its combined aerial and psychic powers are so strong as to be extremely dangerous. The special moves of this gargantuan creature include the destructive wind assault known as Aeroblast.''

Lugia reprises its role from ''Melee''. The model is overall higher quality, including Aeroblast having a more detailed appearance. The same basic sequence of events is performed: starting on-stage, then flying to the background to use Aeroblast in a random pathway. In some fields Lugia was significantly changed in ''Brawl''; the first such change is that touching it pulls the player away with massive vertical knockback, avoiding multiple hits in most cases. However, opponents are still inflicted 30% damage and can easily be [[star KO]]ed as low as 30%, slightly better than ''Melee''. It is possible to chain each hit for a star KO, but it usually works at middle to high damages.

Another major change is Lugia's Aeroblasts covers a smaller area and have more time between blasts, being closer to individual pulses instead of a near continuous stream as in ''Melee''. It still deals 20% and has a high potential to KO, taking out {{SSBB|Mario}} on {{SSBB|Final Destination}} around 45%. Multiple Aeroblasts can hit a player and lead to an earlier KO, however this is less likely to happen as in ''Melee'' (in rare cases 3 Aeroblasts can rapidly hit and cause a KO). This means that avoiding this attack is simpler now, although there is still a threat of being KO'd if hit while above 50%.

:''A Diving Pokémon. A legendary Pokémon often referred to as "guardian of the seas," it has the impressive ability to control the wind. Lugia typically spends its time quietly at the bottom of the ocean. Highly powerful in all areas, Lugia's Aeroblast move is especially powerful. It uses strong flapping of its wings to target damage on a foe's [[bulbapedia:Critical hit|weak spot]].''

:{{Flag|ntsc}} ''Despite being a Psychic/Flying-type Pokémon, Lugia sleeps on the ocean floor. Legend says the flapping of Lugia's wings can create storms that last up to 40 days. It's impossible to know for sure, but in Smash Bros., Lugia definitely brings a storm with its Aeroblast attack.''

:{{Flag|pal}} ''Despite being a Psychic- and Flying-type, Lugia sleeps on the ocean floor. It's said that if it were to flap its wings on waking up, it could cause a storm lasting 40 days. No one can say whether that's true or not, but Lugia's attacks certainly make it seem so. It flies behind the stage and creates a mighty gust of wind with its Aeroblast attack.''
