I heard that the Lucario in brawl was supposed to be a female....unless I'm thinking of Ivysaur. Oh well, Lucario's standard aerial approach is the fair followed by a dair, nair, or reverse grab. On the ground, you've basically got Luc's jab and f-tilt to approach with (don't spam Fsmash). Fthrow can kill in the mid/high hundreds for most characters if you throw them before they have time to DI.
His main approach would be fair. It all depends on how you do it, you jump forward, send out a fair. Spacing it is dependable on what you're trying to set up or when you want the fair to come out. If you space out to nearly touch your opponent, then you want to DI away from them a bit so that only the aura hits them, if you want to get up close to them, then you want Lucario's foot in their body. Depending on what percent and how well you spaced, you then can go into a nair, a cross over nair meaning that you have the nair hit them from the back, so it gets the weak side of a shield and spaces you away from them a little bit. If you hit with the aura, then you can do a retreating nair, or if you hit with the whole foot, you can dair them immediately.
You can hit people with fsmash, it takes practice getting the timing down, you can hit them as well if they are coming from the edge, or if you know they'll survive the horizontal blast, you can surprise them with usmash if they try to jump from the edge as well. Just practice out the smashes, but if you want to use your smash attack out of combos. If you slightly hold fsmash after you did fair-nair and they aren't super light or floaty, it will them if they don't react quickly enough, assuming they will spot dodge cause they expect the fsmash to come out immediately, gives you a little mindgame boost. But what I like to do against Peach and other light characters after fair-nair cause they have very fast nairs that hit me before I can them again. I fastfall the nair, then go into a hyphen usmash. Works out pretty well.
Bthrow does use aura lol, so does fthrow. Lucario's KO options are Aura Sphere, Fsmash, 100% nair, and 90% uair.
Utilize your jabs, cancel them into tilts, force palm if you don't think they'll dodge it or break out of it, grabs or do the 3 hit combo, if they are on the edge, jab cancel to dtilt then fair them to death is really fun.
I picked up Lucario cause I have the most fun with him out of the other characters and fell in love with his kicks the first week I played the game. Since I could gimp my friend constantly with fair strings.
Against those characters you really don't want to be approaching too much. They aren't pressured very easily (except maybe Ike) and Lucario's pressure game is not spectacular. Against Ike you really don't want to approach much. With good spacing Ike's bair, fair and nair can easily stop all approaches. You'll just have to make openings with AS or shield grab a mispaced aeiral.
I main Lucario because he plays how I wish ganon played. Floaty with good aerials and a charge up ranged move.
He's pretty floaty and can't zone at all like wario or jigglypuff. That can make Lucario's air speed seem slow.
Yeah, I've been looking into iDA's use and it's getting me only good results in terms of punishing.
I got it because I hated MK when i first played brawl, I got confused on how to play Snake I hated Falco's recovery (though i made him my 2nd later) and basically I wasnt very comfortable with everyone else. (this was back in june 2008) So I just lurked on smashboards and chose Lucario for the heck of it. I didnt like him either but he grew on me.
Stop ph1l!

Both your rhyme and your "note" were quite lame.
The answer quite plainly is in your head.
That's quite a hot character, I'll give you that
no, get better against the characters you suck at, CP against chars who technically **** your **** (as a character) up.
Timbers, if there's one thing that I think is an achille's heal in your thinking of this game and ever since anything was ever said in the lucario boards, it's taking a strictly analytical approach for this game. It's Brawl, nearly everything is punishable/escapable, that's why discouraging things that aren't 100% "reliable" is stupid. Not just for this, but other instances.
YES IT'S ALL UR FAULT!!!1!eleven!
also kills.
No one saw that it was a crappy screamo haiku? (notice the 5-7-5 pattern) I lol'd, I was working on a college thing that kept me up late.
Tager is cool.
why do people always think this about me.
