So my cousins and I have begun streaming (The NZA, top three Ness in PM, Apollo Ali, GEEB!, 2Fraimz), so I'll be trying to link some of my matches on here. I'm pretty psyched with the stuff I'm doing with Lucario, so I'll definitely show ya. I also experiment a lot in these matches, so some stuff is pretty damn risky and probably not the right option, but there's some stuff which DEFINITELY works.

http://www.twitch.tv/radbrowndads/b/540783737:
KhanYe East (Me) v. GEEB! (Ganon) (Just one game here, but I like how I played ahahah)
http://www.twitch.tv/radbrowndads/b/540797946
(16:50) KhanYe East (Me) v. GEEB! (Ganon)
(25:00) KhanYe East (Me) v. Apollo Ali (Dedede, Link)
(36:10) KhanYe East (Me) v. The NZA (Wolf, Ness)

I'd reaaaally appreciate some criticism. Some **** I noticed was that I go for Uairs out of up throws too much, when nair or fair is probably a more consistent option. Also, a lot of times when I do aerial force palms with no one around me, those are botched B-reversed ASCs. I also definitely went for aerial force palms too much off the edge when nairs would do the trick, but I'm trying to find out the exact spacing I have to have to land the spike, so that's why I did 'em so much. I have way more games on that Twitch channel, and some teams stuff with Lucario. We'll be streaming frequently this summer so definitely give us a follow.

I think I have the potential to become a top three Lucario player. I'll be working hard to get there this summer.

@ KhanYe KhanYe
I really like your grab followups. Very crisp and no nonsense.

I'd like to see more Extreme Speed + Aura Cancels between combos, they are very good at linking combos together and adding needed aggression. Especially on characters like Ness that like to space Pk Fires and such; I face a Ness regularly and I find that being in their face with fast combos linked by UpBs and cancelled properly is very effective.

Personally I prefer Jab on my Down-B cancels as an approach option as apposed to D-tilt because it's easier to follow up on. But Lucario is so adaptive and creative, I'm sure you have your reasons for favoring dtilt.

Very solid movement and overall a very nice display.

@ Lovecraft Lovecraft - First of all, dope name ahahaha. I totally agree that I could use more Extreme Speeds and Aura Cancels, I'll definitely throw more of those into my game. The reason I do D-tilt is because jabs can generally be interrupted by crouch-cancelled dtilts with a lot of characters, as opposed to a sweetspot D-tilt, which will pop you up, and I like following up on people in the air. I really appreciate the crit my man [:

Anyhoo, here's Risky and my ditto in bracket. We're 1-1 with each other in Lucario dittos, pretty bummed with how I played in terms of suicides, but there's definitely some stuff worth looking at in here from both of us. I have ****tons of respect for Risky as a dude and a player, and I couldn't be more hyped at how well we're doing. I still think my Lucario's better tho ;]

I haven't been practicing Lucario at all and didn't plan to play him /johns/. Pretty sure I would have lost without him though.

You're improving quickly. Your Lucario may be better than mine, sure. Last time I checked mine has a better record against most of SG... (Wolf and Sora included) <3

I have a few godlike counterpicks if we get paired again. I'll make you spend time learning a secondary.

Yay more stream time! I got a game or two in on stream at the most recent tournament in the area (No two hour drive! Woo!). One match in which I faired almost too well, one in which I didn't. Like... at all.

Darkgun(Lucario) vs. Youngblood(C. Falcon) - Loser's Bracket
Post game notes: Youngblood and I both agreed that he was off his game that match. It was a win, but it wasn't quite as hype as it could've been. :T

Darkgun(Lucario) vs. Shokio(Roy) - Loser's Bracket
Post match notes: I learned some new Roy things with this one. DI fair away, play the spacing game, nair shield pokes, if correctly spaced Roy's nair>dtilt on string is super hard to block. Next time I play a matchup with a character that demands spacing play, I'll be sure to use aura sphere more, and in general, mixing up followups on opponents that tech, as DA is unsafe if spot dodged, though fsmash or a jab string isn't near as bad.

Oh, and critiques are always welcome, naturally. ^^

@ KhanYe KhanYe , that was certainly a good performance! I'll happily admit that your use of DTC is beyond awesome, as the best I can come up with is something that feels like "derpyderpOHMYGOODNESSDTC>FSMASH", whereas you've got some form of intent when you use that charge.

A quick tip that, though here I didn't see you encounter this situation but once [1:45]. At higher percentages, DA(late)>ASC sets up brilliantly into aerials, as you will likely have plenty of time to land the followup hit. Also, while it does help provide positional pressure, >ASC>DT isn't incredibly safe. Your use [3:36] of it wasn't necessarily problematic, but there was the potential for problems (and you noticed that an spot-dodged).

Past that, great stuff. Defensive spacing with concise, safe followups that usually ended with a positional advantage.

Thanks for the crit! I definitely need to ASC outta dash attack more at late percentages, I reaaaaaally love what you did against the Falcon player with your DA->ASC->DA strings. Super cool utility against fast fallers, I might have to steal that from ya ;] The only thing I'd suggest is more DA->Utilt strings on Falcon, he's super easy to juggle with utilts. Otherwise, Captain Falcon is combo food and Lucario does have that matchup pretty solidly, so good job!

Tourney Locator's pumpin' out the videos really quick this week! Here's the few from stream that I participated in.

Darkgun(Lucario) vs. Disafter(Lucas) - Winner's Bracket
Post game notes: Lucas feels difficult to approach (which if you've been around for any length of time I'm sure you're blown away by the fact that Lucario has a hard time approaching [/sarcasm]), and in the case of Disafter, I found it particularly hard to space against and punish falling fair. It also seems easier and safer to respond to read grab attempts with a roll, since an early spot dodge can still be punished by the long duration of the grab box.

Darkgun(Lucario) vs. Denti(Ivysaur, Lucario) - Loser's Bracket
Post game notes: not much to comment on, really. Tilting one's shield to block attacks is almost mandatory in the Ivy matchup, as shield pokes are far from rare. I, unfortunately was getting sloppy offstage, and that cost several stocks. But talk about an awesome R1 finish.
R2: Darkgun confirmed fraud. But jeez is the Lucario ditto always fun. XD

These are me vs Lobo's Donkey Kong. I'd love some critique on my gameplay. Lobo's a pretty solid player so I feel there's alot to be analyzed in these games.

Freaking iPunchKidz rocked it so hard that tournament! Unsurprisingly, I couldn't take a game off him either. His punish game was considerably more consistent than mine. One of the neat things another local Lucario player picked up on was that iPK would land an aerial out of a SH/FH, follow with ES, then use his second jump to either assure the cancel followup would connect or to disengage. Personally, I noticed that there were lots of ups: DA>usmash(1st)>ASC>usmash(3rd)>ASC>[FF]uair>ASC>etc. Dude'd just... go to town. I didn't see many touch of death out of him (but I suppose an average of what I would surmise to be 70% on contact is pretty darned close), but his combos were clean and finished on strong hits, which is more than I could ever say about my own.

@ Darkgun Darkgun On your match vs YoungBlood captain falcon, at around 1:50ish, I think it was brilliant how you were about to approach and get off the ledge with an aerial/down B or something but realized that YoungBlood had spaced properly to punish and consequently decided to not commit to an approach. Thats something I really want to incorporate into my play.

Thank ya kindly! I... am going to be honest in that while it would have been awesome that I made such a clever decision, at the time all I was probably thinking about was something like "It would be so hype to hit him in the face with Aura Bomb!" That and I've been spiked by Falcon's Raptor Boost enough to be wary of attempting to swat that away, I suppose.

On a fun side note, I went to DFW for a few days as got lucky enough to trade days with someone at work, so I went to two tournaments and got some stream time! Here're the matches!

---Overzealous XII---
Darkgun(Lucario) vs. Azer(Snake) - Money Match
Darkgun(Lucario) vs. Anoose(Link) - Winner's Bracket
Shokio(Roy) vs. Darkgun(Lucario) - Winner's Bracket
Anoose(Link,Mario) vs. Darkgun(Lucario) - Loser's Bracket
Azer(Snake) vs. Darkgun(Lucario) - Loser's Bracket

---Infinity & Beyond 26---
Artimus(GnW) vs. Darkgun(Lucario) - Winner's Bracket [The commentary in this was so fun to listen to later. ]


Oh, and I guess there's the video of Elza and I hitting each other repeatedly for an hour and a half. Was probably some of the best practice I have had in a while. And then the combo video he scrapped together afterwards that doesn't have much in the way of Lucario unless you count getting bodied by Luigi as "in the way of Lucario". ^^
