Yes, but unless you're using FP out of jab, FP is only going to be used when your opponent uses his shield too much.
Also there were some inaccuracies in the summation (although it was pretty good). About aerial options offstage, usually are difficult to pull off against a lucario who actually uses fair and BAS/AS to fight off edgeguard/edgehog attempts. utilt in my experience for bowser is not nearly as good of an option as upB, it just seems too slow. Lucario's ftilt, utilt, and dair seem to be overlooked, as lucario's dair will stop usmash even after dair has been shielded (dair comes out faster), ftilt for lucario is actually pretty good against bowser, as it has great range (almost as much as fsmash), double hit, and I've seen it do some decent stuff against shield oriented strategy overall. Bowsers forget about lucario's utilt, this is like the new lucario chain, as at lower percents it chains rediculously well (about 30-40, give or take aerials afterwards), and just know that lucario has to stay semi defensive, (sort of balanced according to my playstyle thread), until he spots a weakness. Then, an offensive mindset is a must to keep damage and pressure, with the crazy fair chains that start off with grab, AAA, sometimes FP, or ftilt, then fairs and following with nair or dair usually. Another thing, AS/BAS is more than a spammy projectile/killer. Its slow moving property makes it a good control projectile, meaning that whether they shield or eat it doesn't matter much, it allows lucario to approach with the projectile while the character deals with getting closer to the "spamming" character, essentially, it provides cover fire as well as damage. I'd say 60:40 at worst, but it's certainly not neutral to me, still very close though. I settle for 60:40 lucario's favor, or 55:45 at most (and trust that I know what I'm talking about, I play against a really good Bowser. Shoutout to Kevvviiinnn!)
utilt chains will do maybe 20 with good DI
bowser can tilt the projectiles and keep going, camping with them actually limits lucarios stage control, because he is stuck near the ledge while bowser controls the center.
and I've never heard of kevin, unless you are talking about kevin m, but i think he doesn't play bowser any more.
if he was good I'd probably have heard of him, especially if he was west coast.
I play against a decent lucario (not amazing, places usually 17th/13th out of 100 or so out here, on par with socal randoms**********.) from time to time with bowser and it seems decently even, lucario has to get inside bowsers spacing and combo to be effective, but bowser does outrange him, and kos quite earlier/lives a lot longer
********** socal randoms are different than most randoms, in that some of them would be ranked anywhere else. we have 4 classes of random, 1st are actual randoms who suck and are ignored, 2nd come the 33rd-25th randoms, still not notable, but they're good enough to get top 12 in most regions, other than cali/nv and parts of atlantic north, these guys are about as good as the guys who get 7th/5th/occasionally4th/3rd in some of the easier states, they're decent but they usually have a big flaw like playing a really bad character (oats >.>) or lack of matchup knowledge vs a popular character. 3rd come the 17th-13th randoms (the lucario player's in this group) they occasionally upset top players out here, to put it in perspective, the best OR/CO/AZ player would probably fall into this grouping, i know this because those players place around 17th when they come out here (25th for the REALLY big ones). and finally, the "rotate onto the power ranking" randoms, these players will eat you, they aren't ranked simply because they're too many of them to be ranked, occasionally they will take a set on dsf, or win a major tournament (looking at you hall and larry), these are scary as hell. they would be in the top 8 anywhere else
the lucario falls into the 3rd grouping, still decent, not "good" yet since good has a shot at top 3 for a major regional.
so where would you place this "kevvviiinnn"
also, all you outsiders now know how ridiculously tough the brackets are out here. our randoms will eat you. If you don't believe me come out here and see for yourself, or ask someone who has.
