Or will it?

Let's wait and see.

****ing procario. I'm no good at street fighter-like things.

 

[leelue]

neither am I. I can't play fighters for my life. I play party games instead

BTW, every day I continue to convince myself that Lucas is good. except vs marth.

 

[ajajayjay]

can't wait to see an uair to b cancel to uair to ex-cancel uair off top, The whole combo could take like 3/4 of a second.

 

[ManEg]

What is this "procario" stuff? Shouldn't it be Lucaryu??

 

[MonkUnit]

lmao. we just thought of the name procario in the backroom and just stuck with it

 

[ManEg]

So he's the only character that can cancel normals into specials....sounds like an awesome advantage. I would like to see how this wouldn't make him the best character in the game.

I cannot say I'm good or bad at those types of things since I never played another fighting game......
/serious

Sue me.


I'm mostly a single player(Zelda, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear, Metroid, Yoshi's Island, DKC, Fire Emblem SD, etc.) gamer.

Cause he can only do it when he hits things?

Does it include the shield? Because if does, he'll always be safe.

 

[CORY]

helloooooo spacies : D

 

[ManEg]

helloooooo spacies : D

lol wat?

spacies: shine
Lucaryu: every special, including these "ex" versions

 

[CORY]

meh, i still don't see it being that crazy. he also doesn't seem to have as efficient kill moves as they do, judging from the stream.

 

[MonkUnit]

basically, you have to continue the combo string otherwise it is like hit runaway hit runaway, etc

 

[ManEg]

IMO, this mechanic violates Smash universals the same way Lucas' glitch does it: no one can chain normals with specials, not even the spacies, they just fast fall l-cancel and shine, and because shine is such a fast move (hitbox comes out at frame 1) it seems like they cancel.

 

[MonkUnit]

but it works for lucario

 

[Phantom1987]

People are speculating too much about the new lucario.. Till the moment I've not seen him being that broken.. lets wait and see. If it comes to the worst.. they can change it

 

[Shell]

You could argue that vBrawl Lucario's aura system violated smash 'universals.'

The point is that there are many small exceptions to the universal rules, and these are what give the game spice. Too much spice can overpower the natural flavor of a dish, but just a bit keeps things unique and fresh.

How many characters can jump during their moves?

How many characters can refresh their jumps without even landing.

Heck, Sonic's spindashes make less sense than this.

 

[Eternal Yoshi]

Also, Peach's float.

Thanks for that analogy SHeLL.

No better way to put it.

 

[ValTroX]

I want to try him, he's just so weird xD. (Lucario)

The fact that i see videos of ROB means he's ready to be shown?

 

[moleman915]

Shanus, how about a celebratory blog post today?

hmmmmmmmmmm

I would've used this:

Why the celebration, one with Charmander with Psyduck beak avatar?

 

[The_Guide]

I just realized something... with this Lucario, I can actually make a combo video (that isn't, in reality, a montage).

Too ****ing good!

 

[[TSON]]

Obviously because of the Bin Laden stuff.
BTW are there any vidjas of Procario that are of watchable quality? Or at least 1v1?

 

[iLink]

I liked Lucaryu

They should make his upb an uppercut with invincibility frames on startup that also works as a get up attack.

But I was wondering, if his aurasphere can do the spirit bomb thing with the EX thing and upb can be canceled on hit, what does sideb and downb do?

 

[jahkzheng]

Also on the topic of Mewtwo, the BR has already interviewed Taj on what M2 would need to be a good character, and it's rather lengthy. I think when the clone engine is perfected, Mewtwo will sneak his way in there with Taj's wet dream stamped onto it.

This sounds pretty awesome. I'd love to hear what he had suggested. I'm sure it's mostly pretty technical stuff.

Okay got some ideas brewing...
How about keeping the spin and having the opponent get slammed down afterwards. Like a longer range, slower version of Ganon's side B. Then Mewtwo could tech chase like Ganon - following up perhaps with more confusion after a tech or maybe a downsmash on a backroller or even a grab (yikes). And if the opponent decided to stay on the ground, Mewtwo could use confusion again, lifting his opponent and spinning them upward.

I still like this idea of mine for Mewtwo however... (of course I would xD).


Edit:

Shanus, how about a celebratory blog post today?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhnUgAaea4M

Heh... posted that on fsmash a while ago for "the lulz" as well. Except I used a better vid .

 

[MonkUnit]

No. Only way to see Procario is on Shanus' recorded stream.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

Can't ANY of the members of the PMBR just get at least one decent quality video of him up? :/

 

[Archangel]

looooooooooooooooooooooooooool MonkUnit

 

[shanus]

can't wait to see an uair to b cancel to uair to ex-cancel uair off top, The whole combo could take like 3/4 of a second.

Actually one of the most badass combos is dsmash -> upB -> drag them off offstage -> ex-cancel -> sideB meteor throw



Edit: Grim Tuesday, watch the end of the second half of the stream:
http://www.justin.tv/tryhardtroupe/b/284843868

Start watching around halfway or earlier or something. Disclaimer - this was my old smash crew where most of us haven't played competitive smash in 1-2+ years (real world after college makes smash hard)

 

[shanus]

meh, i still don't see it being that crazy. he also doesn't seem to have as efficient kill moves as they do, judging from the stream.

It actually isn't that safe on shield. Remember a lot of his moves afford very low shield stun.

For example, jab is not safe on shield.

His safest move on shield currently is to use dair -> sideB, but its predictable.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

Spike or meteor on his side-b?

 

[Browny]

I like how lucarios mid-air side b is what I wrote that I wish it did in like 2008 rofl

 

[JCaesar]

It may have. That's why we rigorously test these things. Whenever we do release him, rest assured he will be balanced with the rest of the cast.

I'm right there with ya man. I've never liked fighting games. I got into Smash because it's basically a competitive platformer (at least, up until Brawl came out and the genre shifted more toward "party game"). Before I started going to Melee tourneys in '04, the only games I played remotely competitively were RTSes (Total Annihilation >>> Starcraft, just sayin...)

I want to try him, he's just so weird xD. (Lucario)

The fact that i see videos of ROB means he's ready to be shown?

ROB is indeed in a state where he's ready to be shown. I'm basically the only one that plays him though so my youtube channel is the only place where you'll find videos of him, at least for the foreseeable future.

Can't ANY of the members of the PMBR just get at least one decent quality video of him up? :/

We like to make sure that characters are at least close to their final state and fairly well-balanced before we put up public videos of them on youtube, where random people could stumble upon them and rush to judgement. Until that time, you will only see them on streams, where it's easier to put more experimental characters in context for the viewers.

On topic
Does anyone use temple m, metal cavern, jungle, or rumble falls on their random select?

I do. Although I don't like Temple M. that much.

 

[shanus]

Meteor. We had it as a spike at some point, but it was just too **** on large characters.

For example, bowser was done for with a dash attack, utilt, ASSC -> fair -> sideB
