Try to keep with the model ok?

First play: about a month ago when going through SSE in hard I eventually got to the part when Metaknight duels Lucario. At that point I was already sick of playing MK and decided to try Luc out for once. (I had no idea I would main him later). The first thirty seconds I had no idea how I was fighting but at the end of the fight i thought he was pretty good overall.

First 15 seconds: "Crap his smash attacks are SLOW" (taking a beating out of MK)
First minute: "Who needs smash attacks?" (learning to use tilts and specials and just beat the crap out of MK =D)
First 10 minutes: "HOLY CRAP HE FIGHTS KUNG-FU!!"* (after entering training zone and checking out all his moves)
First hour: "That's insane!!" (shortly after using double team to KO a lvl 7 Fox CPU)
First six hours: "Fear the power of aura!!" (after beating the crap out of my friends for the fourth consecutive match)
First day: "I can't believe I'm still using him" (which is true because i just got in training mode to check his moves out to continue in SSE)

what about you guys?

PS: I'm fifth degree (Green Belt) in Kung-Fu and most of Lucario's moves remind me of the Swan kung-fu style. (including his combat pose and d taunt)

I play diamond and I already liked him there, and after I discovered he would be in Brawl I was excited and Liked even more after his informations were released in Dojo.
Well, I first played Brawl in my friends house, so he had all the characters unlocked. I played with Lucario in my second ever match, and, honestly, didn't liked him. His fsmash was slow to me and I weren't adapted to the game mechanics yet, so I just used Falco (my other main) till the rest of the day.
But, the other day, I thinked: "God, Lucario surely isn't bad as I am thinking" and decide to play a few matches with him. There I understanded his Aura power and combo possibilities. After 10 matches with him I already decided: He is gonna be my main.
That's the way I've fallen in love had my impressions about him.

I first heard about him through the roster leak re: stickers on trophy bases and went to see who/what lucario was. google image searched lucario, and he was my main from there on in :) first time i played him in japanese import brawl in a 4 player match i won. luckily, this match was on hyrule temple, so i was on over 200% for a looong time and was owning everyone lol. 3 stocking an MK user in my first mini-tourney kind of cemented his position as my favourite. Also the fact that i got owned in the second round by another lucario player while i was using my melee main, ness lol

I main G&W, but after playing around with Lucario's combos, I loved him. I also like Double Team and the fact that he gets stronger as he gets hurt.

In my shining, ideal world...
Pre-SSBB: I always hated Lucario. I don't know why, but I hated how he looked. Nearly everyday, I questioned how people thought he was cool...
SSBB: Eh, he has similar moves to most Japanese fighters, like Ryu or Goku. Naturally, I'm good using him. Even though I hate the character, I'm at least good with it, I guess...

well there's no problem with that. i know a friend who just CAN'T stand pokémon but he uses pikachu anyway because he's strong with him.
though i think Lucario is cool anyway XD
