Yes, JC is jump cancel. Since ASC (aura sphere charge) causes hitstun, jump cancelling out of the animation and into an upsmash is very lethal. If you watch high level Lucario players you'll see them get ~50% of their kills using this move. Plenty of source material on youtube. Upthrow gives...

Depends who you're against, as always. At moderate/high aura AS will apply a lot of pressure to an opponent who lacks a strong projectile game (like Bowser Jr). Remember that AS at high percents will power through smaller projectiles, so you shouldn't fear cannons or mecha-koopas. I love...

"Dipped" This isn't an ice cream pun, is it?

The war is over, long live war.

Being a FG scrub is so much easier than worrying about Skypes and being the best. Props to those who are excellent and win tournaments, but I don't see how you put up with the stress.

Ash is dumb if you think he wants to be a pokemon master. If his real goal is to remain a preteen forever he's A-tier. Maybe S.

Isn't it common for stocks to go down during a fight?

If we could first know where we are and whither we are tending, we could better judge what to do and how to do it. Totally lost in the events. Much more interested in perfecting wavebouncing.

Just because you have a main doesn't mean that you don't play other characters. Lucario's my first when I fight someone else for the first time, and I prefer to use him if I lose horribly so I can learn how to improve, but if it's 50/50 I'lll swap to someone else and mess around. Tiers aren't...

From what I've seen other boards use a bit of nuance when discussing customs. Palutena boards promote "customs for us, but no one else." ZSS boards pretend they don't exist. Maybe nuance isn't the right word. I won't care about Lucario's customs unless I see Bone Rush. Then I'll become an...

I'd have to think that ZeRo or any other gaming celebrity discussing a character needs to try to press the popular opinion while subtly hinting that a character only needs one good, elite player to step forward to change the metagame. I don't blame someone for hawking their wares, Page views...

I think I don't like Falcon players, though fighting Falcon can be fine. Given how many of them go for the disrespect kills every single chance they get, they become predictable. Most just rely on having faster reflexes than you and less on planning a few steps in advance. Oh, and knee...

Shielding works well against Link. None of his projectiles will wear through your shield that quickly, especially if you jump over a few of them. As someone who has played Link quite a bit I can say first-hand that someone who shields my boomerang perfectly puts me at a disadvantage, as they...

Video game first, other media later. After looking through http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Lucario_(Pok%C3%A9mon) seems like he wasn't in the manga till 2008, with his initial movie + game appearance in 2005.

It's got to be a pretty salty matchup for me to taunt, but up taunt while facing left is the most unmistakable "you can't handle me" stance I know.
