When I play toon link all they do is stay at a 45 degree angle and throw bombs and its boomerang and it's really annoying. Can someone help me?

Perfect shield them. Grab the bombs. Practice it =].

(Me posting late about side b)->Anyone heavy can be chained and I recently learned a lot of weaker players can't mash fast enough to get out of it....but side-b always gets me into all kinds of ridiculous trouble so I don't really use it (usually when it's supposed to be a b-reversed aurasphere).

Against TL, just survive and the matchup goes to like 100-0. You can literally hit him with five moves and get the KO (it's like being snake for a little while).

 

[Col. Stauffenberg]

It's not a chain if they can mash out.

 

[Fizzle_Boy]

What do we call it then? (And lsiten to Phil, the people who can break out usually won't until you've given them enough time to react.)

 

[phi1ny3]

Like I said, FP once or twice plus a grab -> dthrow/bthrow (preferably dthrow since it gives you a little more follow up) will still get you some decent damage.

 

[D. Disciple]

or uthrow, dont forget uthrow.

 

[Col. Stauffenberg]

I call it a pseudo-cg.

 

[D. Disciple]

I call it that too.

 

[AuraMaster]

What is the best way to kill with Lucario. I kill opponents at 150% but I want to kill them faster.

 

[culexus・wau]

It depends on the character.

Ussually Fsmash, Aurasphere on whiff/landing, bair/uair are good.

 

[hichez50]

By 140% dtilt can kill.

 

[culexus・wau]

By 140% dtilt can kill.

All fresh tilts can kill at 140+ mark <.<

 

[Milln]

'Specially utilt.

 

[IceArrow]

What attack should I do to get a pikmin off.

 

[D. Disciple]

Utilt, make sure you're by Olimar when doing this.

 

[Col. Stauffenberg]

I'd rather use nair.

 

[D. Disciple]

Yeah I guess, cause I don't be them on the regular like you >.>

 

[RT]

Sadly, there isn't one move that gets Pikmin off guaranteed. I've had instances where nair or utilt didn't get a Pikmin off. I wish Lucario's nair was like Diddy's.

 

[Col. Stauffenberg]

Wouldn't uair work if you really needed a surefire move, since his whole body is a hitbox?

Meh, it's not that big a deal anyway, it's pretty rare for nair to not clear them out, and it's not too hard to keep them from getting on to begin with, fair is practically tailor-made for pikmin swatting lol.

 

[phi1ny3]

fair is amazing in the Olimar MU.

Yes it would, but it has the issue of landing lag and overall being slower to use than Nair, I guess.

Super Saiyan Lucario is amazing in the Oli matchup.

 

[Zair Hidamaru]

How can I post videos on the computer?? Do I need some kind of format?? Because my SD card won't seem to get them for some reason.

EDIT: Whoops... Clicked a link from a forum and I thought you asked general questions here. Sorry.

 

[RT]

You need to record them with either a capture card or gamebridge. The most common capture card used is dazzle, but you can find other stuff too. Check ebay, amazon, etc. for low prices. I bought my dazzle for about $50 when it was on sale.

I've heard the Lucario boards had interviewed a pro a while back. Can someone link me to that thread ?

[Suikami]

Forgive me if this question is idiotic, or just too obvious to answer...

Anyway, recently, as I've returned to brawling, I've been told that my Lucario plays 'too defensively'. Whether it's a simple issue that's easy to resolve, I don't know. What I do know, is that I'd like an answer which gives me a way/method of picking up the offensive aspect.

 

[phi1ny3]

Most characters in Brawl play better defensively.

I'd probably suggest learning to use fair and all the options you have when approaching, if you want a handle on offensive measures.

 

[Milln]

But why bother?

 

[culexus・wau]

When you don't have the lead.

or uh

you're playing falco or fox or something dumb,

That just means you're doing a good job. =D


If all else fails, work more fair into your game.

 

[Milln]

Or bair. Bair is good.

 

[Kitamerby]

Or bair. Bair is good.

Bair isn't exactly aggressive, though.

Fair is the go-to approach aerial for us for the most part.

 

[Milln]

Bair is Bair. Use aura sphere.

 

[phi1ny3]

Do a barrel roll!

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

What are safe options against DDD to not get grabbed on block?

 

[phi1ny3]

fullhop fair I believe is safe, the problem is getting down from the air

spaced dair (aka DJ dair) is safe.

Other than that, gl.

 

[Admiral Pit]

Okay, my question, aside from still looking for Lucarios with some Pit experience so I can get the matchup done, it's about the Aura.
I'm aware that Lucario gets stronger as he takes more damage, but that's the thing. At what percents does Lucario really get stronger? I've been curious not only because I need the info for the matchup, but when testing in training mode, when Lucario is at 29%, a grabbed Force Palm does 9 damage, but when he's at 30%, it does 10 damage (All attacks in training mode at completely fresh).

Could anyone give me a bit of an accurate chart or list (whatever you wanna call it) on what percents Lucario's Aura makes him stronger? I'd apprciate this.

 

[Browny]

attacks scale from 1-2x stronger at a linear rate from 25-170%, so an uncharged dsmash at 24% does 10 damage while at 170% it does 20. At the half way point (about 87%) it will do 15%. The damage is calculated to decimal points and rounds up or down

therefore it is likely that the force palm grab has a base damage of around 9.25% such that at 29% it will do 9.48% rounded down to 9 (the game will still total the damage the enemy takes in decimal points but you cant see it anyway, training makes this harder to notice) and at 30% it will do 9.54% rounded up to 10.

So we have nothing on the ground he can't grab us out of?
