{{s|wikipedia|Daisuke Namikawa}} reprises his role in the Japanese version with new recorded voice clips of the game. {{s|wikipedia|Sean Schemmel}}, who voiced [[bulbapedia:Lucario (M08)|Sir Aaron's Lucario]] in ''{{s|bulbapedia|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew}}'', now voices Lucario in the English version, replacing {{iw|wikipedia|Bill Rogers|voice actor}} from ''Brawl'', after initially [https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/803/233/4ba.png confirming] that he would be reprising his role. As in ''Brawl'', it is also voiced by different voice actors for ''SSB4'''s Spanish, French, German and Italian versions. | {{s|wikipedia|Daisuke Namikawa}} reprises his role in the Japanese version with new recorded voice clips of the game. {{s|wikipedia|Sean Schemmel}}, who voiced [[bulbapedia:Lucario (M08)|Sir Aaron's Lucario]] in ''{{s|bulbapedia|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew}}'', now voices Lucario in the English version, replacing {{iw|wikipedia|Bill Rogers|voice actor}} from ''Brawl'', after initially [https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/803/233/4ba.png confirming] that he would be reprising his role.

Lucario is ranked 17th out of 54 on the [[tier list]], placing it in the B tier. This is roughly similar to its mid-tier placement in ''Brawl'', where it was ranked 11th out of 38, although ''SSB4''{{'}}s tier structuring renders it as a high-tier character. Lucario's signature [[Aura]] has been strengthened, which is further supplemented by the new [[rage]] mechanic. This makes most of its attacks among the strongest in the game when it is highly damaged, with its smash attacks, up and back throws, and its up and back aerials each being easily capable of KOing. The new Aura mechanics also grant new benefits to Lucario's special moves: with high Aura, [[Aura Sphere]] grows even larger than Lucario itself, [[Force Palm]]'s blast possesses significantly more range, [[Extreme Speed]] covers much farther distance, and [[Double Team]] becomes one of the strongest [[counterattack]]s in the game. As a result, Lucario boasts very potent comeback potential, with a single opening being enough for it to KO careless opponents. | Lucario is ranked 17th out of 54 on the [[tier list]], placing it in the B tier.

However, Lucario still maintains its below-average mobility, making it difficult for it to force an approach. Lucario's new Aura mechanics also cause its moves to deal drastically lower knockback and damage at low percentages, making it almost impossible to KO opponents until 150%. While this allows Lucario to combo reliably at low percentages, this makes it much harder for it to combo or create set-ups when it is highly damaged, due to the aforementioned strength of its attacks at high Aura and rage. As Lucario is also dependent on Aura to secure KOs, it has a riskier playstyle compared to many other characters. Some examples are its smash attacks, which have high lag, and Force Palm's grab, which can be escaped at low Aura. Finally, Extreme Speed now gains enough speed at max Aura that it can inadvertently cause a [[self-destruct]] if used recklessly, and the move has a full second of landing lag if it ends in the air, making Lucario heavily open for punishment. | However, Lucario still maintains its below-average mobility, making it difficult for it to force an approach.
