Extreme Speed: Difference between revisions

This attack consists of Lucario rushing at high speed in the direction chosen. It is possible to change directions during the dash (where Lucario will appear to "bend" through the air), as well as being able to [[wall cling]] if it comes in contact with a wall, making it a very useful [[recovery]] move. Lucario has a quick [[air speed]] while using this move, and it has a large {{b|sweet spot|hitbox}}, making ledge-grabbing easier.

From ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' onwards, the distance traveled by Extreme Speed increases as Lucario's damage rises, with high aura granting exceptional distance. At 0%, the distance gained is comparable to ''Brawl'''s, but at 190% the distance gained becomes incredible, to the point where Lucario can easily overshoot the stage if it isn't careful.  

As Lucario keeps Extreme Speed's velocity a second after the move ends, the move will grant even more distance if Extreme Speed ends in the air - a ground-hugging full aura Extreme Speed travels 3/4 of Final Destination, while an aerial Extreme Speed can cover more than its full length if the move ends in the air. This sheer speed can make the move especially difficult to aim while at high aura, and makes Extreme Speed a double-edged sword at max aura: Lucario can easily recover from anywhere offstage, but can as easily underestimate the distance it travels and shoot off the other side of the stage.

In the ''Pokémon'' games, Extreme Speed was introduced in Generation II as a more powerful version of [[Quick Attack]]; in that generation, it was the signature move of {{pkmn|Arcanine}}. It is a physical Normal-type attack with 80 base power, 100% accuracy, and a +1 priority in Generation II-IV and a +2 priority in Generation V and onwards, meaning it will usually go first if there is no other higher priority attack being used as well, regardless of the user's {{s|bulbapedia|speed}}. In return for being exceptionally fast and powerful, this attack only has 5 base PP (can be upgraded to 8 max) so Extreme Speed can only be used 5 times unless PP restoring items are used.

In Generations II-V, the move's name was formatted "ExtremeSpeed" due to a 12 character limit, and this spelling is also used for ''Brawl''. Since the Generation VI ''Pokémon'' games reformatted the move's English name as "Extreme Speed" due to increasing the character limit, the move's name was similarly changed for ''SSB4''. Despite this, the official Miiverse posts pre-release continued to refer to "ExtremeSpeed" without a space.
