Lucario (SSBB)

This article is about Lucario's appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. For other uses, see Lucario.

Lucario (ルカリオ, Rukario) is a character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Though not officially confirmed on the Smash Bros. DOJO!! website, Lucario was indirectly revealed in a recently updated trailer on the official Japanese Wii website.

While primarily a fighting type Pokémon, most of Lucario's moves are augmented with his ability to use Aura, in a style very similar to Mewtwo's Psychic augmented fighting style, but with different techniques similar to martial arts. It has been seen using what appears to be an Aura Sphere from Pokémon Diamond & Pearl. Like Mewtwo, he has voice acting attributed to his telepathic abilities demonstrated in the movie Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, except he seems to speak more than Mewtwo did, especially when announcing his Final Smash, and his victory poses.

Standard Moves

• Neutral Combo - Lucario slashes forwards twice, and then kicks high. Each hit has blue aura accompanying it and moves Lucario a fair bit forward.
• Down Smash - Lucario brings his hands above his head, and then separates them quickly to either side, similar in appearance

to Sheik's Up Smash, except with blue aura around the hands.

• Up Smash - Lucario holds his hand above his head, with a large burst of blue aura from it, and spins in place.
• Neutral Aerial - Similar to Mewtwo's Neutral aerial, except with blue aura bursts instead of psychic sparks. Several random blue aura spots hit over Lucario's body quickly, which can hit multiple times and can knockback a decent amount on the final hit.
• Forward Aerial - Lucario kicks forward with a slight upwards tilt. The end has a small burst of blue aura energy, like most of Lucario's moves. Long duration, similar to a sex kick.
• Up Aerial - Lucario kicks similarly to his forward aerial, but higher, hitting in front of his head.
• Down Aerial - Lucario pauses in the air, thrusts his hands together downwards, and lets out a fairly large burst of aura energy. Fairly long duration, and will hit with any part of Lucario's body, knocking directly away, similar to the knockback on Fox's shine. This makes it a potentially powerful spike move.

Special Moves

• Standard Special Move: Aura Sphere

• Side Special Move: Force Palm (?)

• Up Special Move: Extremespeed (?)

• Down Special Move: Reversal (?)

• Final Smash: Unknown Name, Most likely Flash Cannon or Hyper Beam (?)

Role in the Subspace Emissary

Lucario is somewhere cold when he battles Metaknight. After that, it is presumed that he joins up with Metaknight. After managing to get onto the Halberd, Lucario sees Snake hidden in his box by looking at his aura through it, and pulls Snake's box off of him. At some point after this, Snake meets up with Zelda and Peach, with Meta Knight and Lucario supposedly nearby. Snake, Lucario and Metaknight discover that the Halberd is being controled by a group of Mr. Game and Watches. Snake then punches all of the Game and Watches out of the window, and they all land nearby Peach, Shiek, and Fox. They then revert into Shadowbugs, and turn into a giant metal monster. Lucario, Snake, Meta Knight, and Falco join Fox, Shiek, and Peach, battle, and defeat the monster. Once done so, you will find Game and Watches trophy, and have him join your party.
