However, it did received 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 more reliable and less of hindrance, while its special moves have also been improved: Aura Sphere can now be cancelled into 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. | However, it did received some buffs.

Despite its many buffs, Lucario's nerfs generally outweigh the buffs he received and is considered to be worse than his iteration in Smash 4. 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. | Despite its many buffs, Lucario's nerfs generally outweigh the buffs he received and is considered to be worse than his iteration in Smash 4 at launch.

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 his overall placement uncertain. | ||
