You need to learn how to read attacks to use Lucario effectively. Picking up on enemy's habits will help you live longer to get that kill from the aura.
Try to stay in the middle when you're in KO percentage. Know what your opponent's character can do to KO you and avoid that situation

Edited version of MythTrainerInfinity's Frame Chart with all characters, I grabbed Lucario's portion, removed the extrememly technical things, added some sidenotes, and overall made it look more appealing/easier to read.


INTRO
Hi! My name is Cocho. I wanted to write a little about myself and summarize this guide along with the video.
Before you ask, I'm not a pro but I did want to share what I've learned about Lucario with you guys.
The video will focus more on setups, uses, combos, techniques, and those type of things. Things that are more general.
The written guide will be more technical, showing damages being dealt, kill percentages, and so on.
I didn't include attack pecents & kill percents because those are reliant on Lucario's aura. If you want to look at those, follow the links below.
I will most likely be editing this every now & then, if there's any errors or suggestions, please let me know! Thank you! :D

Thanks! I've had a few people tell me that I should do matchups, so I may be doing videos on them in the future.
