Tournaments are amazing. I just attended B.I.O. last weekend, my first-ever video game tournament (I spectated at Super Champ Combo last year and thought I could never measure up to the Smash Gods). Lucario is a BEAST. He's a FIEND.
Crew battles, since I only main Lucario, I was sent in as cannon fodder since I was the least flexible of our team. For my first battle, I 1stocked a Snake, then proceeded to take that 1 life and unleash the Power of Aura. I decimated another Lucario with mindgames and Bair sexiness, then took 1 more stock off a G&W before dying to Dsmash.
7 stocks with 3 lives, I even got the praise of a DBR guy, Hella.
Lucario has just reaffirmed my faith in him as the King of Comebacks. "It ain't over 'till it's over."
