So for the most part, Lucario has been buffed for Ultimate. Some, if not most, of his moves now have less lag on them, including Fair, Aura Sphere, Nair, Extreme Speed, and Dair. However, Lucario's damage output has been tampered with. His Aura has received a slight nerf in power since Smash 4, meaning his moves wont do as much damage or knockback at higher percents like they used too for the most part. BUT, now Lucario's damage game is more based towards his early percent. His base damage output has been buffed quite a bit. Meaning, Lucario wont have to wait and take damage for his aura to kick in now, he can fight right off the respawn. And remember, his aura isn't going away, it'l still be there, so that's even more added strength. Although, he will probably be doing the same amount of damage output at full aura as he did in Smash 4 when its all said and done with, but they just took some of his power from his aura ability, and gave it to his base damage, and i think i prefer this more.
