You can still send in your videos. Neph uses all kinds of clips in his non-character-specific videos as long as they're funny/cool enough and meet the requirements (no music, 480p or higher, etc.).

This was a big reason for me. Playing a character people don't see often but who could also be fun to watch. Lucario is a character that people can get hype about. Another big reason is that I mainly come from the anime fighting community (BlazBlue, Guilty Gear, etc.). The cancels feel...

So what you're saying is that every other fighting game is an unintuitive mess, and the cancelling mechanic sucks in general... As a counterpoint, I'd just like to say that I could not learn this game by watching people play. I started playing smash about 4 months ago, and my friend had to...

DA can definitely be worth it as an on-reaction punish or for hard reads, imo. Used correctly, it can be a godsend. That said, if it does get baited, Lucario is definitely going to eat a combo. High risk, high reward, but you can minimize the risk by using it only when you can be confident...

From my experience, the problem with down-B is that the lasers will stuff the startup most of the time if you do it on reaction, and even on a good read, it really only works if you space it well and spend a charge. As for shielding them, Lucario's shield doesn't hold up for very long, and if...

One MU I really want to know how to deal with is Falco. Maybe I'm just bad, but Falco lasers are incredibly difficult for me to get around. Once I do get in, his defensive options keep me from comboing him. The only safe option seems to be hit and run or grabs. Falco's up-B out-prioritizes...

True. I don't necessarily want it nerfed, but if they nerfed anything about Lucario, I think it should be his recovery. If they decide to give him nothing but buffs, I'll be a happy Lucario main, but that's kind of asking for a lot.

Sometimes, being able to combo a character really can make the MU more favorable for Lucario, though. Marth, for example, is hard to get in on, but once Lucario does manage to get in, Marth just has an awful time. Marth is excellent combo weight and has no good combo breaking moves. I'd put...

He already has enough recovery tools and mixups, in my opinion. DT > dair can be used from up high to get back on stage quickly, way above what your opponent would expect, and sometimes higher than they can reliably punish. It can also be used to deny gimps if you get hit low after you used...

Better shield Reduced startup on ExtremeSpeed Better hitstun for the aura canceled hit of ES in the air to allow more reliable followups Slightly reduced startup on nair More reliable sex kick properties on nair Give aura bomb slightly increased priority Nerf DT aura cancel dair recovery That's...

I'd have to agree with bec. Shielding seems like an awful option for Lucario 90% of the time. I can't tell you how many times I have gotten shield stabbed by the dumbest stuff at full shield...I can understand why they made it that bad, but really... Besides that, try not to roll as much...

Personally, I love YS and WW. I'll honestly pick these no matter who I'm fighting. The tiny space is great for controlling where your opponent isn't safe, and the tight blast zones make a lot more of Lucario's moves viable to kill at much lower percentages. As for bans, Lylat is definitely at...

Dash jump rising fair > aFP works at certain percentages/heights if you're close enough when you fair and your opponent doesn't DI away...or if they're Bowser. The perfect height for this on most characters seems to be about the height of Battlefield's lower platforms. Experiment with it a bit.

I'd put Olimar in at least C simply because he has to micromanage his pikmin. Peach should also probably be in the bottom of B or top of C for the reason's chaos mentioned.

As long as you don't let Falcon control the stage, it seems fairly even. Lucario and Falcon can both combo each other fairly well, but Falcon has the speed he needs to give Lucario a rough time in neutral. Once Lucario gets Falcon offstage, though, that should be a stock.
