[xxmoosexx]

You may think im stupid and crazy but, what exactly are lucario's weaknesses?

Please add an example if you could.

I'm asking this because i'm looking for a secondaries but I just can't get into the groove of Marth or MK.( An opinion of what secondary to choose other than these would be nice).

There has been a couple of Threads like this already

But to answer your question: Mr. G&W and Marth are his toughest Match-Ups, and probably MK too.

Got that right.

Game and Watch boards are THAT way ----->

G&W isn't that bad for Lucario honestly....

I think that Lucario's biggest weakness is that you're screwed if you die before 100% in a match. You just gotta learn how to DI correctly and especially learn momentum canceling, that should help you stay alive a lot longer. I often have trouble landing a kill move since Fsmash can be predictable at times, you really have to bait your opponent into getting hit by such a slow move. The move i find myself killing most often lately is Bair. People have just learned to not get hit by Fsmash :/

Def. a weakness are his easy to read kill moves. His bad grab range gets me into trouble sometimes, and believe me its BAD. I dont like dying before my opponent in a match, especially when Im Luca. However, I'm told that if you are behind in a stock, then your aura stacks. I'm pretty sure Lucario has a bad matchup against D3 though

It's something like...
2 stock advantage: 0.8x Aura
1 stock advantage: 0.9x Aura
1 stock disadvantage: 1.2x Aura
2 stock disadvantage: 1.4x Aura

His aura disadvantage when hes 1 stock down. His moves can be so weak : /

Cario's weaknesses well, to name the biggest one is that lucario starts off weak, then gets stronger.
Which isnt much of a weakness per say, but it can be a problem. However the add-on to that, is to start doing damage you have to take damage, and heavy hitters, can kill you fast and easy if that's the case.

So Don't die.

Luc has a poor punishment game out of shield compared to other characters, starting lag on quite a few moves, a lack of variety when it comes to effective approaches, problems against characters who beat him out in the air, bad Dsmash, too tall to duck under projectiles, too short to abuse grab releases, abusable recovery against certain characters, poor kill potential at low %, making revenge kills a test of patience, lack of variety when it comes to upwards kill potential (only realistic way to kill off the top would be uair), no spikes, everyone and their mother has something to beat out Aura Sphere, linear air game, 45-degree blind spot, very poor grab range, high traction keeps us from abusing certain techniques such as glide tossing or that "pivot walking," slow run speed...

That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

hahah jeez with that huge list of cons you made him sound like a ****ty character.

 

[Browny]

well im sure if you only listed MKs weakness hed look like garbage too... Low damage on all attacks, all recoveries can be caped/mirror shielded, no projectile, horrible air speed, 0 effective vertical KO moves. you see where im going with this :/

I probably didn't even cover 2/3 of Lucario's weaknesses. <<

You can use this logic for everyone but Marf. :D
