at what time does he counter attack when using the move? is it like marth's and ike's counter that happens anytime u are hit during the animation or is it during the beginning of the double team animation or anytime he gets hit during the animation? i was watching some videos and sometimes it seems that he does the counter at the beginning of the double team but sometimes it happens somewhere in the middle of the move. :confused:

I'd say more towards the beginning--the starting lag on it is kind of short, but the end lag is pretty ugly. Also, the attack comes in the reverse direction that he's facing when he gets hit--so if he is facing right, Lucario will appear doing his attack from the right and move towards the left of the screen. Depending on where you are when you do the move you might end up having to recover.

Down B (Double Team) : 9-18%. Kills at 162-80%.

This move is awesome, but risky. Here's how it works : As soon as you use it, if your opponent attacks you from ANY angle with ANY attack including one hit Final Smashes (and even Marth's Critical Hit !) will do nothing. Plus, Lucario will teleport a few steps in front of him and will do a running slash to the position he was before. If Lucario was airborne, the running slash will be oriented diagonally towards the floor.
However, this counter only lasts half a second. After this, you become vulnerable, for at least one second ! The trick in using this move, is to use it against really predictable attacks, like smashes.
But it's worth the effort, because it's one of Lucario's best knockback move, especially when fully charged.
Straight from my thread.
