One thing I disliked about Lucario is despite having an amazing type combo he seems to focus on his aura exclusively. While he is the "Aura Pokemon" and it can be argued that aura is a fighting technique, what are some ways he could have more focus on his types, especially his Steel type? Thing is I don't know much about Lucario. I didn't even play as him that much in Brawl. Steel and Fighting are two of my favorite types and I'd love it represented in more then aura waves (which don't feel like a fighting or steel move to me be honest) Lucario fans, what are some things Lucario can do to represent his typing?
Here is his Bulbapedia movepool page:

My ideas:
Metal moves: Not a move, more of a aesthetic change. When he attacks his fist and legs gain a metallic shine and shows that he is using his type to smash foes. Give it a special "clang" sound when he makes contact to show that he's smashing them with fists of steel. With this his steel and fighting type are both represented. Right now most of his moves use aura, but they can change a few of these without changing too much; make his weaker moves based around steel punches and his powerful moves around aura.
Steel Buff: (This may have balance issues, so Lucario fans feel free to tell me how this won't work.) When Lucario has high damage, he starts to get a metallic shine. Not only does he gain strength, but he also get's slightly heavier and slower. That sounds like an imbalance, but while Lucario is harder to knock out when he is knocked off the stage he falls like a rock. Basically he becomes a slightly more heavier and stronger fighter. Maybe give him some super armor for some of his moves as well (a reference to his inner focus ability)

will get steel moves for Sm4sh. I approve the ideas because we want the pokemon types to cross-over into the smash games much like all the moves we see in move-sets for the pokemon in Brawl and P:M already. Everyone's comments especially the Lucario mains lead to good points while telling myself I'm against the idea of steel buff for Lucario...however I'd love to see a steel buff for his ground game! Steel moves in the air seem like a no-no and the steel buff addition to his high % altering his weight and speed would turn me off (unless I adapted to it's game-play).
