Background was dark for Mega Charizard because they were playing on the Mario Galaxy stage. (You can see the stars in the background)
Wario-Man.
But since Mega Lucario's aura would always be set at maximum power, its recovery would be very unsafe anyway.
That's my point. It'd be difficult to recover.
Also same applies with Giga Mac, once he transformed he didn't glow or have the dark sky in the background.
Well to me it could be Overpowered when lucario FS being Mega Evolution form with no timer. You will just have to return to original form once u get KO'd just like in pokemon.
Its under powered because it is somewhat very situational, Let's say Lucario is losing a match He has pretty much full aura boost he gets a smash ball what's the point of using it he's already being beat with the buff anyway, the only time this could be OP is if your beating your opponent and you get it. In hindsight that was the wrong word to use for this as it is both overpowered and underpowered. I guess I meant to say underwhelming, while I like sakurai's enthusiasm with the aura mechanic raising to Max aura for a FS is kinda lack luster when something much better could be done with his mega evo, like a cut scene FS or a combo FS with close combat like Ikes great aether.
ok so clearly your right, which means it can't be final smash
I mentioned exactly what you said in the OP. It is the only reasonable thing I could come up with if his mega evolution were to be a gameplay mechanic as opposed to a final smash. I personally would prefer it like that since it still seems fair...to a degree. It just means that Lucario's last stock would be extremely difficult to take down and any decently competent user of him could come back and possibly win with max aura at 0%.... especially since they buffed his aura mechanic!
Sounds like Project m about everyone having an overpowered feature. In my eyes.
This is what StarCraft 2 should have been.
Great observation to say the least but I think you were tricked, at 20:58 there was a flash there which looks like he was blinking but it was the AS on his right side flashing through his body, when he uses Force palm he blinks again but in blue which is just another effect of Force palm, Ill try taking a closer look at it to see if I'm wrong since Lucario is pretty flashy.
Alright I see it now I thought you saw the blinking at 20:58 and onward, ounce great observation now down to the real question.... is it a under powered FS or a overpowered Guage mechanic? I really hope its the latter.
Seems like underpowered FS but I wouldn't worry too much because it seems that everyone's FS are nerfed equally. Rosalina and ESPECIALLY Villager's FS can prove that as well.
I wouldn't say that every ones FS is getting nerfed as a lot of people have FS's that are actually very powerful with lots of potential it seems rosalinas and villager have good ones too, Rosalinas has with massive stage control and Villager can probably blow people to kingdom come at higher percents they all have potential to be a major threat if used right, While Lucarios doesent have any potential, Unless its getting invincibility or you do some kind of attack first then change then I'm going to be very dissapointing with him being screwed over in that catagory again unless its confirmed to not be his FS.
The flashing thing has convinced me enough that it's indeed his FS. Wario Man have the exact same thing going on for his FS in Brawl.
While I believe its just his Final Smash, the key detail here again is the lighting. Zard X both times has appeared with the Final Smash lighting darkening the stage, yet everytime weve seen Lucario the stage lighting has been normal. To early to write off the possibility his isnt a final smash.The Miiverse post today confirmed that Charizard's mega-evolution is in fact its final smash...basically confirms Lucario's mega-evolution as the same.
"And here's Mega Charizard X. This will appear as Charizard's Final Smash
And it appears it'll be a rip-off of WarioMan/Super Sonic (since it's going to be a timed Final Smash, just like those 2 Final Smashes).The Miiverse post today confirmed that Charizard's mega-evolution is in fact its final smash.....which basically confirms Lucario's mega-evolution as the same.
"And here's Mega Charizard X. This will appear as Charizard's Final Smash."
"Mega Lucario is Lucarios final smash! this image of a character who isn't Lucario proves it"
Come on now, you cannot possibly believe that CharX is a final smash but Megalucario is not. That's just over thinking it. If you take it as black and white then there is no reason for Mega Lucario to not be a final smash. In the direct it showed Mega Lucario>CharX>Greninja final smash. This pic of the day puts the final nail in the coffin imo. It's fine to be optimistic but we gotta be realistic here.
I do agree that that is strange...I just don't see Sakurai making CharX a final smash but not Mega-Lucario. Even if MegaLucario somehow was not Lucario's final smash, why would he make one Pokemon have the ability to mega evolve outside of the smashball while another cannot. That goes against his whole "balancing" efforts he's made in this game up to now. The darker lighting could just be exclusive to CharX to make it more dramatic..
Honestly it isn't proven till sakurai says so, one persons FS doesent confirm another's, not to mention that charizard has its background darkend in both instances its shown while Lucario's doesent, if they were both mega evo's you would think they would have the same visual effect but they don't. Not to mention Lucario's was still just mentioned as "mega evolution" and not "Final smash: Mega evolution" basically there is something else behind Lucarios Mega Evolution and I don't know what it is but all this vague info on his FS definitely is hinting that there is more to it than we think.
If Lucario didnt have ME as a FS it would still be balanced as apparently all Lucarios FS does is raise to Max aura and nothing else while charizards could have infi flying or super armour/invincibillity heightened attack or all of the above, so we can't make that assupmtion till we see more of mega charizard or mega Lucario.
I actually agree with that, solid points! It is true that we have not seen CharX attack yet so we don't know if his moveset changes while Mega Lucario only has max aura, which would be quite underwhelming as a FS. I'm all for Mega Lucario not being a final smash so any reasonable doubt is welcoming.
