What secondary do you use and for what match-up?

Hey guys,

New forum member and competitive player here. I noticed that the Lucario forums are mostly pretty dead, so I wanted to try and spark some discussion within the next few weeks.

I was curious which secondaries you all use and why. How does switching characters help in a particular match-up and do you feel like you lose some of your edge when you focus on two characters instead of just one?

Sheik for Ness.

I don't know about you guys, but I struggle with the Rosalina mu. I've had more success using Sheik and Mario.

Here's my list of hard match ups in order of difficulty:

1) Villager 2) Ness 3) Rosalina 4) Mario 5) ZSS

I'm thinking about picking up a Yoshi secondary seeing as he has decent match-ups versus all of these characters.

Meta Knight for Mario and Ness (his MU vs. Ness is better than you might think).

I've heard that he's also pretty good against Rosa, but I've yet to see any evidence of this (mostly because I haven't looked)

Search Kamicario, Loota.

IMO he stands where he is purely due to aura. Even if you are getting stomped in neutral, you can set up for a single hard read at high percents, especially versus the light top tiers. Having the capability to cancel his recovery and b reverse/wave bounce are essential.

You should also check out Motsunabe, he's #3 in Umebura (above Abadango, Earth, 9B and others) and recently took Umebura 20. His Lucario is something you could learn from.
