And if you did, how was it?
just curious because usually I can only get to 150% until I'm finally KO'ed, at wich point my friends are all reeeally pissed off at me...
Once I was playing Shadow Moses against Ice Climbers. three stock, no items, you know the stuff. I got lucky and managed an early kill after destroying the topmost right pillar. afterwards I baited my buddy to the lowernmost floor and we kept throwing punches at each other. it kept going to the point when I was nearing 140% when he got to uthrow me back to the top platform. I'm thinking "holy crud!!" but I manage do double-team him right on the topmost platform, KOing the pair at it.
afterwards I baited him back to lowernmost platform and he takes me up to 211 (!!) percent when he finally usmashes me into oblivion. though I was still happy because I had two stock and he was already 65%.
the rest? I destroyed both walls and killed Nana, only to go after Popo for seconds. I had a little luck but it was still freaking awesome XD

Of course! Happens a lot against Pit or Sonic since I know their kill moves and when they're trying to set one up. Also good way to survive is to play on shadow moses or skyworld since there's a ton of tech options there. I must admit, it is awesome seeing that damage meter hit 2##. Playing against sonic, my Aura sphere becomes bigger then he is, I love that. Players start getting really defensive when they see my weakest attacks doing as much or more as their stronger attacks. It's great hearing them get ticked off when I can kill them at 50% as opposed to them trying to do the same to me.

Not at Kinko's straight flippin' copies
ya i always do, my friends suck a brawl and they can never KO me, and of course it is awesome

now none of my friends want to play me anymore and it sucks cuz all i can play are computers or online(which is just too laggy most of the time)

Yeah it was epic. I got up to around 180% after killing the Ice Climbers. Knowing that if I just played campy I would have died anyway I charged in and got them up to 100% withing seconds and then koed them. However they came back and killed me with invinciblity frames right after.

by damage cap you mean 999% without using the spike block glitch, i have not gotten that high, the highest i got was on a create a stage level me and my friend 1 vs 1 items on high, and this level was crazy and i stayed alive up to 500 something i dont really remember but it was a twenty minute match, the best match of my life even if i did lose :(... i hate wheely boxes

This simple math equation will help anyone reach the damage cap (200%)

Lucario + Giant mode = Win!

The damage cap is always fun.
It's hard to stay alive though.
When I'm up there a lot of my combos are hard to pull off because Lucario's blow back with all his attacks increases. It's so crazy killing some one with your forward special. They fly so quickly and high, especially at high percentages.

*raises hand* Been there, and it is sweet. Getting a double team off and KOing the person who has 80ish% when you have 200 some feels so good. Being at a high multiplier (140ish%) managed to net me a complete comeback against a friends cousin- I screwed up my first two lives horrendously, then took off all 3 of his, finishing the match by double teaming him for a star KO... It was fun. Aura multiplier is amazing, anyone who thinks it makes Lucario weak needs to play better Lucarios. And I also tend to reach 140-180% each life.

Damage cap for Lucario is 200%, After that his damage doesn't scale any higher.


As for me, I've gotten close, but my friends are pretty good so they can easily catch me in the 180% range. And I'm lucky if I can get that far to begin with most of the time, but then we're usually doing 3-4 player matches.

If I had the presence of mind to Double Team that eruption, it'd have gone on a lot higher. I was laughing too hard.
Holy snap, what music is that?


Oh, and I once had a very very fun match against a very very aggravated Ike on New Pork City. Every time he upsmashed me (on the rare occasions that it hit), instead of dying, I flew higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, but survived. I also teched any Fsmashes that I was stupid enough to chomp on.


God, that was hilarious.

A few months ago a friend played toon link but instead of killing me when I got high, would try to back off and do even more damage with projectiles and aerial combos. I hit the limit a few times there and got some really nice '100% damage in a short combo' moments.

Lately, though, I almost never go above like 140% because everyone has caught on and spams only kill moves when Lucario gets high... as they well should, I guess. The highest I've gotten is 147% against an Ike in a tournament because I just kept dodging his kill moves and didn't care about getting hit by his jab combo or down-tilt.

First track is a remix of Wizard and Warriors music found on OverClocked Remix titled CheDDer by CheDDer Nardz.

Second track is R&R Junkie. It's Walnut's theme from the Ps2 game Phantom Brave. I think the artist is Tenpei Sato.

Oh, good old aura sphere to the face. Where would we be without you?

And Lucario vs ike just really seems to be in luc's favor :p Ike is like the fourth best FP chaingrab and nearly the best fair and utilt spam target.

New Ike and again, only 147%, though =( I beat like two other ikes in the same tourney, one(skyler) who was significantly better - probably a bit better than me. Pretty sure I still two stocked. >>

There's nothing more satisfying then seeing a fully charged aura sphere the size of a bomb-omb get fired later when you're at higher damage and it's now the size of Ike. It also add's to the fun when your opponent is very vocal, swearing or going OMGWTFAHHHHH*explosion*

My advice to those who finally reach the cap (at 160, 180 or 200 whatever it is) keep that aura sphere handy and make those double teams count!
