I just had to relate my story, guys. Kinda blowin' my own horn, here, with a story that none of you truly care about, but..
Okay. So there I was. The last battle with a friend of mine. I'd been choosing random for all the other matches and I was like "alright, i'll end this with Lucario."
Final Destination
Vs. Olimar.
Long story short, I jacked up my first two stocks with player errors and inability to adapt, plus the fact that he's good. Then, I was like "Alright. I'm effing Milln. This is ridiculous. Let's go."
Down by two stocks I had only gotten like 50% on the Olimar. The first obstacle was Ko-ing him and getting the stock to even. He's already at 50%, so not too difficult, right? Wraong. I'm Lucario. So I put some damage on him and managed to take exactly how much I wanted. 56%. Dash attack hit him up and I naired him off the edge and landed to charge the rest of an Aura Sphere and nailed him with it.
Alright, now it's a little more difficult. Starting over from 0% and my Extra Aura is less. This stock went fairly smoothly, pulled out a few of my tricks for dair to make it always hit (yep) and focused on keeping his Pikmin dead. Took like 20-ish% (so now i'm at like 89-ish) and knocked him off the side, but not far enough to go for the edgehog. So I let loose an Aura Sphere and he whistled it! "Guh!" I said, and he got back on the ledge. Intercepted with an fair and backed off. I had thought about calling the match and just conceding with a No Contest, but my mind was like "Stfu, you quitter. You're Lucario! There's never any reason to quit in any game." And pushed forward with more resolve. After that, I got him up to 113% without taking any more hits and rolled his red Pikmin forward smash that would've sent me flying, but I was still in front of him so I couldn't forward smash. Whatev. DOWNSMASH and he flew way over to the right for the KO.
Okay, so the stock is now even, but i'm still high in percent. However, since i'm Lucario, I still have the ability to control the match. So this is what happened: I pulled out all my tricks, went bankai, super sayaijin, and Fierce Deity Link all at the same time (XDD) and blitzed him, vastly changing my playstyle from what I had been doing on the last few stocks. It began with me shooting a fully charged Aura Sphere at him right when his invincibility went off. He whistled it and I was like "adkgjaklgj" and sent a baby one at him and it caught him. It began. Going in with stuff, chasing him for followups with fairs and outprioritizing him with aura spacing. Took very minor hits, bumping me up to 116% and that's where I stayed. Could FEEL my heart pumping in my chest as I focused. Dsmashed his dsmash and grabbed him. Jab punched a couple times and backthrew him off the edge. He was now up to 118% and I charged up an Aura Sphere intending to KO him with it. He has four Pikmin. Fire the Aura Sphere, he whistles it, I catch one of the Pikmin and kill it and he uses his tether...... and misses. One of his three didn't go into the move so he only had two and it was like.. an in-game inch too short. He fell and I did Lucario's up taunt, alive at 116%
Phew! Right when the screen popped up I (really did. >,> ) punched my hand triumphantly into my palm and did a pose. Felt so proud, I just had to come and tell you all.
And THAT is why I ****ing play Lucario! XD So badass and his playstyle is exactly mine, becomes more difficult to handle when it appears we're about to lose.
May this be a lesson to all of you: Never. Give. Up.
