Thank you for this reply! I'm just going to do a quick bullet point summary on my thoughts since this is a big study week for me, but I really do appreciate the time you took up on this. Also the video is now up on Youtube! Down Special: I completely agree with this statement. I'm getting a...

Oh yeah, I forgot about this. But yes, this is true, and only gives even more credibility to the idea that ASC landing is best. The fact that we get a zero landing lag approach is amazing lol.

I also was very down-b reliant on movement, and I still am a bit right now, and personally I don't think there's too much wrong with that. Like you said, it's about the incorporation of all these options together, rather than using one piece in abundance. I agree that they can't be used for...

It all matters if you get a confirmed hit. If you do get the hit, its an ASC because you eliminate all landing lag you would have from an L-cancel. Due to the fact that you canceled out the ASC, you only have to deal with the 4-frame landing animation, which is the fastest of all of Lucario's...

Sorry for not getting back to you! I haven't been on smashboards in a while. https://youtu.be/zc9hVD6U9rM?t=3m30s Here's where he does it in his latest combo video. Notice how he cancels the first hit of down air into a command grab after he double jumps. The double jump gives him better...

Yeah, air slightly stalls movement, so when you combine this with a double jump, it will actually stall all your horizontal movement. IPK does this when he wants an offstage spike. He will jump towards his opponent then quickly double jump to dair in order to get above the opponent while staying...

Alright, hopefully you'll see me on stream and hopefully I'll see you at Final Boss.

By Fsmash, I believe you mean side-b, which an aura charged command grab can kill as early as 90% at times, along with the increased damage and knockback if just the normal side-b charged attack hits. Also, the down-b canceled in the air has a huge application with horizontal movement. It can...

Here's a little quick tip. If you land an up smash in any way, the up smash can be jumped (and thus wavelanded) or ASC'd out of, so that will give you more options out of that. But for these kind of tips, my best advice is to watch top Lucario players, such as IPK or Mr. R. Watch what they do...

Hey there, again! The in-air Force Palm stuff can work against any character at any percent either on its own or after any move/canceled into from an aerial. You simply have to be close enough to the character so that when the command grab of the side-b comes out, it grabs them in the air...

Oh sweet, next time your are at a Davis event, ask around for Ghost/ the Davis Lucario main, hopefully we can play! I'd love to teach you what I know about Lucario. Yeah, getting used to that defensive mindset is what has been helping me. Movement and patience seems to be key, then, like you...

Yeah, a lot of the Davis streams have been acting weird lately. My gameplay for the past few months are probably going to come back out in one big packet during my university's winter break, so that'll be nice. That's why there isn't any recent gameplay for me. That analysis makes a lot of...

Thank you for the reply! I completely agree with your assessment of the neutral. I've found that movement and patience is key when playing Lucario. The ability to mix-up movement is required due to the lack of approach options, and this is where I feel Lucario shines. Like you stated before...

I've been doing a lot of research on the neutral with Lucario, as well as comparing my own play to that of top level players, and, to no surprise, have found that my neutral is much worse than theirs. I'm posting this in regards to discussing his neutral and the different options he has, that...

Alright, thank you for your advice. I'll go looking for other recording threads as well!
