Since it's been over a year, I just wanted to see what you guys think of Lucario.

I'll show you on my tier list (NOTE: characters are NOT ordered left to right! I don't think Isabelle is the worst character in the game or that Inkling isn't Top 20, it's meant to be a general placement of characters.)
As you can see, not great for Lucario (between #54 and #64). I think its harder for Lucario to make use of its aura, with the max aura and rage being toned down and Lucario being lighter. It can be difficult to recover in this game due to Extreme Speed's controls, and I feel its kill confirms aren't very reliable. It does have some strengths, like aura can in some situations be deadly, B-reversing aura sphere as well as ASC helping its neutral, and has good results thanks to players like Tsu (though he's using Lucario less in favour of Terry).

Yeah Shulk, get stuck in!
I can relate & understand what anyone's input about Lucario would be. The character's hard to play, & the turnout reward for playing the character well is not always given justice you deserved like in past titles.
But no matter what, the character's mid-tier. You can't be a low tier character, or a top tier character with the way Aura's designed, & how some of Lucario's move-set is currently designed with flaws.

As a Lucario main, I think he's underrated.
However, no matter how good my smash main is to me, he ain't always perfect.
Overall, Lucario may be a mid-tier due to minor problems with aura and his final smash, but I've gotten around that. You just need to know when and if you need to turn it up to 11.
