Did the Project M team **** up Lucario? I sure as hell think they did. You had this amazing Brawl character in the original Brawl, a terribly flawed game, but then Project M comes along, a mod that fixes most of brawls flaws, but ends up ruining Olimar, Toon Link and most of all Lucario. I'm sorry if this sounds like Nitpicking, but this has been on my mind for months and I can't hold it in, Project M Lucario sucks balls.
I know there are secret moves he can use, but they don't even come CLOSE to making up for removing his clever, fun to use Aura Mechanic. Some might say you shouldn't get stronger with more damage, but think about it, this is a unique Fighting game character that hasn't been duplicated except with Brawl Minus where they made the Aura mechanic EVEN BETTER then Vanilla Brawl and Super Smash Bros 4, you have to constantly dodge your opponent's moves to keep your power, otherwise you start off as a ****ty character again.
This adds an element of strategy where you needed to carefully plan your attacks, not necessarily camping and using the Aura Sphere over and over, but getting up close and using your enhanced Smash attacks, Force Palm and using double team to negate any form of assault and attacking back with super attacks, you feel like you earned it, carefully planning everything!
Well, Project M Team, you turned Double Team into a useless move and eliminated the Aura Mechanic and replacing it with ****ty Secret Moves, giving us a ****ty shell of what was once a great character. The same happened with Olimar and Toon Link, arguably on a greater scale, but for me, Lucario got the worst of it, he WAS one of my favorites...but not anymore, and possibly never again until Smash Bros 4 is released.
It almost makes me want to delete Project M and play Vanilla Brawl again. I WANT MY BRAWL LUCARIO BACK GOD DAMMIT!!!
Note: This isn't my opinion, it's a god damn fact, I asked all my friends what they thought of Project M Lucario, they hate it too, I even had to teach them about the secret moves and they STILL hate him.
