When I said Lucario was slow, I wasn't refering to his movement speed, but his attack speed. His ground game is really slow, and I agree, his air game is faster than his ground game, but his only truly fast air attack is down air...


I guess I could use some tips on how to play Lucario too

Lucario's one of those characters that you need to learn about to get him. It's a marvel that he's so high. (Because of what I stated, not because he doensn't belong.)

instead of low startup time for attacks you get low ending/cool down time. This is pretty much what dj said. With slow startup you need to bait and punish instead of just trying to rambo everything. There's a time and a place for pretending to be rambo: unexpectedly.

I feel like this is a stupid question, but-
What exactly is a pivot -insert attack here-? Is it just doing the attack in one direction while facing the opposite way? How exactly is it performed? (I'm aware of how to do a pivot Falcon Punch if I'm correct on the definition, but otherwise...)

...Anyone willing to answer? I'm trying to improve my tactics, but it's kind've hard to do so if I can't understand some of the terms... :/

pivot grab: during a run turn around and grab, has extra range and can slide as well.

during the start of a dash you can Fsmash which has extra range, you can also dash dash into an fsmash, thus the term "pivot" fsmash.

HQ5, I'm your parental adviser you can just send me a PM cause no one is going to answer you question here.
and wikipedia is also a pretty good answer to that too.

also, We ever going to get around to brawl+ lucario+? Like match-ups, guides and so forth?

A minority of players actually play Brawl+ competitively. I'd say that if we can get a majority of people to say that they would use/contribute the guide, we should go for it.

....but that's why we have the hacks general discussion board.

I am! I want to have Wolfs body and have an attraction to blue foxlike furries. Especially Krystal :D

 

[Alus]

You dont even have to be furry to like krystal.

I think I just threw up a little.
No emoticon can express my face, but it's something like this:

NOw lets move this discussion to the chat thread =)

 

[F1ZZ]

Wait so are we discussing B+?

Pound 4 will be the biggest Brawl+ tournament (and probably biggest side event tournament) so far. Then.. shoot, what is it... something somewhere will be an actual Brawl+ thing. I wouldn't be surprised if it takes over once it goes Gold, which is soon.

C'mon man, everyone's got their little quirks

Umbreon's cute.

Hah, thanks~ I think I made the ears a tad short, but oh well. xD I'm a she, by the way. Shocker.

It's still adorabibble.

 

[Browny]

DJ, may I move your post into the tier discussion thread? It'd be nice to get this info out there.

Eh maybe not now lol, currently all on about Pit, and id want to re-word it myself when lucario comes back for discussion.

Gotcha.

We've got to get some Lucarios over there when you do, though.

 

[phi1ny3]

rofl the tier discussion thread is very lulzy.

 

[culexus・wau]

Wrong thread,

So a Question instead!

You guys ever think of grabbing hitboxes with FP?

I've done so but only with like DK

 

[HK Donut of the Blue Fire]

heeeeeeeeey gaaaaaaiz, im baaaack :3

but also, so during my tentative break from lucario and after coming baaack i was thinking about out kill options, do you think it would be a legit idea and as a suggestion to make a thread listing off our kill moves and making a spread sheet of their kill percents? :3:3:3 <3 you lucario buddiesss

it sounds useful, but the way i play, all of my moves are half stale, so kill percents mean very little to me when they're only accurate for fresh moves.

~edit:
plus, you'd need to add another layer of complexity from damage and stock modifiers. Most people who play lucario (and smash in general) have a sense of when a move will kill. Since it's highly unlikely anyone is going to memorize a list, the only thing it will do for us is give us a concrete or definite sense of when moves will kill rather than just instinct and experience.

Kill moves:

Fsmash
AS
FP
Dsmash
Uair

K, thanks bai. lol

 

[Aurasmash14]

K, thanks bai. lol

WTF how could you forget Dair?? >:OOOO so what if it may be SDi'd? its still pretty legit.

 

[phi1ny3]

nair works on lighties if it's fresh.
dsmash/usmash are also killers, even if they're both meh.

And HOW COULD YOU FORGET BAIR!?!

 

[Aurasmash14]

bair is like.... aerial Fsmash lol. if only we could utilize it the way peach can use her fair....

 

[hichez50]

Is using nair to land on the ground a good options most of the time?

 

[Milln]

If your opponent isn't shielding or you're behind them, yeh.

If they are, you're better off faking the nair, fast falling, then trying to grab.

 

[MythTrainerInfinity]

Is using nair to land on the ground a good options most of the time?

Well what I like to do is DAir to beat their shield a bit and then hit them in the head with NAir. It will hit some character's heads 'n stuff.

Nair landing will get you punished rather easily if you get too careless with it (since it does not technically autocancel >.> ).

Does anyone know the specific frames for each increment of damage when charging up an Aura Sphere?

 

[culexus・wau]

Landing nairs are a good bait if people don't know how low the landing lag is.

I would much rather empty hop when they are aware lol.

 

[hichez50]

Well what I like to do is DAir to beat their shield a bit and then hit them in the head with NAir. It will hit some character's heads 'n stuff.

Using dair will get you shield grabbed if spaced wrong. And since it stops momentum there not much you can do if you mess up.

 

[CaliburChamp]

What's the exact timing for B reversal Aura sphere charge? It just randomly happens when I'm playing, but I can't do it consistently.

 

[Fizzle_Boy]

I just used my stopwatch to time it and got about 1/5 of a second between the pressing of B and flicking the the control stick....if that actually helps.

 

[IceDX]

I just used my stopwatch to time it and got about 1/5 of a second between the pressing of B and flicking the the control stick....if that actually helps.

wouldn't that be a pivot tho?

if you pressed b then move the control stick it should be a pivot if you flick the control stick and then b that's a b reversal...

 

[Milln]

The exact timing is -directly- before or after you pressed B. For any of the B techniques.

 

[Kitamerby]

What's the exact timing for B reversal Aura sphere charge? It just randomly happens when I'm playing, but I can't do it consistently.

It's probably like 5-9 frames. I'll check that out with the debug code eventually.

Press B first, then backwards almost immediately. You need to be quick, and probably should press the B button around the same time you're moving the control stick. It takes a little bit of practice. I personally have more trouble with turnaround spheres than b-reversals, though.


Also, Ice, you have it backwards. B reversal is when you change direction during the animation, along with a momentum boost for some characters. Turnaround B is when you turn around and then do the special, which has no momentum boost.

To B reversal, press B, THEN hit backwards.
To Turnaround Special, press backwards, THEN hit B.
