Lucario is ranked | Lucario is ranked 71st out of 82 on the current [[tier list]], placing it in the C- tier. This is a drastic drop from its 17th out of 54 placement in ''SSB4'' and is its worst placement in the series. | ||

Its [[smash attack]]s also have their uses as disjointed kill options. [[Up smash]] has its use as an anti-air that kills middleweights at 105% at base power and it can also hit grounded opponents up close with its initial scooping hitbox, making it a situational out of shield option against laggy moves. [[Down smash]] covers Lucario from both sides and kills middleweights at 115% from center stage at base power. [[Forward smash]] has the greatest amount of kill power and horizontal range out of its smash attacks, being able to kill middleweights at 90% from center stage at base power while also having the potential to be safe on shield if spaced well. Its [[grab]] game also has utility. [[Up throw]] and [[down throw]] can be used as combo starters, with the former being able to combo into forward aerial at low percents and neutral aerial at mid percents (as well as up aerial on bigger characters), while the latter can combo into forward aerial at low percents (with down throw > forward air > forward air > up air being its most damaging combo at low percents). [[Forward throw]] and [[back throw]] don't have much use outside of being positional throws, though the latter can have a situational use as a late kill throw. | Its [[smash attack]]s also have their uses as disjointed kill options.

Lucario's aerial moveset also has good utility. Neutral aerial hits twice, covers Lucario from both sides and has a good amount of active frames, making it a useful [[edgeguarding]] tool that compliments its ability to maintain aerial presence. It can also combo into up tilt, down tilt, and dash attack at low and mid percents when [[SHFF]]'d. Forward aerial is fast and can combo into itself when SHFF'd, up aerial and back aerial are vertical and horizontal kill options, with the former killing middleweights at 110% at base power near the top blast zone and having situational combo potential into itself and neutral aerial when SHFF'd, and the latter kills at 115% from base power at center stage while also being slightly disjointed. Down aerial is also unique in its uses; it is its fastest aerial at frame 4, allowing it to be an out of shield option, it stalls its movements which allows it to mix up its [[disadvantage]] and edgeguarding, and it has its use as a kill option, killing middleweights at 135% from the edge of Final Destination at base power. | Lucario's aerial moveset also has good utility.

Lucario's [[special move]]set sports great versatility as well. [[Aura Sphere]] is useful as a projectile and as a kill option, with a fully charged one killing middleweights at 150% from center stage at base power. In addition, the move also maintains a hitbox behind Lucario as it is being charged, giving it use as an approach mixup and sometimes as a situational kill confirm into back aerial. [[Force Palm]] is unique in the fact that it functions as a ranged blast from a distance and as a command grab at point blank range, giving it use as an out of shield option and a kill option, as it kills middleweights at 140% at base power from center stage. [[Extreme Speed]], being its primary recovery option, travels a good distance and has a hitbox that enables it to be used as a mixup for onstage recoveries. Finally, [[Double Team]] is a [[counterattack|counter]] that has greater utility than conventional counters; the distance the move covers allows Lucario to punish the opponent when countering a projectile, and the fact that the strength of the counter is based on Aura as opposed to the strength of the countered move allows it to kill middleweights at 115% at base power regardless of the move being countered. | Lucario's [[special move]]set sports great versatility as well.

Outside of Aura's inconsistencies, another flaw Lucario has revolves around its frame data, as while it isn't as slow as characters like {{SSBU|Ganondorf}} and {{SSBU|King K. Rool}}, it is still somewhat sluggish; its jab (frame 5) and forward tilt (frame 12) are slow relative to other jabs and forward tilts while also having poor damage output and/or kill power unless it is at high Aura, all of its smash attacks come out at frame 15 or slower, and all of its aerials barring forward aerial and down aerial come out at frame 10 or slower, with such issues making its already inconsistent kill power even more inconsistent on top of the fact that its throws outside of Force Palm have very little kill power unless it is at high Aura. Its poor frame data also hinders its ability to approach, which is also worsened by its somewhat floaty nature. | Outside of Aura's inconsistencies, another flaw Lucario has revolves around its frame data, as while it isn't as slow as characters like {{SSBU|Ganondorf}} and {{SSBU|King K.

Finally, Lucario's special moveset, despite being versatile, doesn't come without its flaws, as Force Palm has hitbox issues that cause the command grab to not be triggered when at close range, and Double Team can put Lucario deeper in disadvantage if used hastily.

However, the most glaring flaw with its special moveset is its recovery; while Extreme Speed travels fast and covers good distance, the fact that it has 47 frames of startup makes it vulnerable to edgeguarding. Additionally, the move is also inconsistent due to not always grabbing the ledge as well as the fact that the speed and distance change with Aura, making it possible to overshoot its recovery and self destruct. | ||
Overall, Lucario is a very high risk, high reward character. Essentially being most powerful when most vulnerable, players need to know when to play recklessly and when to play carefully. Either kill sooner and get killed sooner, or kill later and get killed later. | Overall, Lucario is a very high risk, high reward character. Essentially being most powerful when most vulnerable, players need to know when to play recklessly and when to play carefully. Either kill sooner and get killed sooner, or kill later and get killed later. Lucario's flaws outweigh its strengths; despite the strengths it has in its special moveset and in its aerial and offstage game as well as the potential to secure early stocks and comebacks with high Aura, the potency of these strengths are undermined by Aura's many inconsistencies and its damage reducing multiplier when at percents less than 65%. On top of that, its below-average frame data and its floaty nature make its approaches inconsistent and its recovery is exploitable due to its long start-up. It is primarily from Aura's inconsistencies that players consider Lucario to be a low-tier character who is poorly designed, with many players suggesting that the character need to be reworked entirely. Because of this, Lucario is not a popular character to use as a main, especially in high level competition. | ||

Lucario has received a mix of buffs and nerfs in the transition from '' | Lucario has received a mix of buffs and nerfs in the transition from ''Smash 4'' to ''Ultimate'', receiving buffs in game updates but being significantly nerfed overall. The most notable nerf is to its Aura mechanic, as Lucario's [[Aura]] multiplier is worse than it was in ''Smash 4'' despite [[1v1 multiplier]]s now giving a slight advantage. This, when combined with the universal weakening of the [[rage]] mechanic, makes Lucario noticeably less powerful at higher percentages, while its reduced [[weight]] makes it even easier to KO and makes it harder for it to rely on rage and Aura combined. Furthermore, some of Lucario's most reliable moves have been made less effective, with [[down aerial]] halting its momentum less if overused, [[back aerial]] being weaker, [[Double Team]] having a drastically shorter duration and intangibility and [[Aura Sphere]] can no longer be grab-canceled. While Lucario still has a strong recovery, [[Extreme Speed]]'s controls have been modified to the point where holding down the control stick can accidentally lead to self-destruction, it covers less distance overall and stops its momentum at the end, worsening its recovery, especially at lower percentages. Finally, the changes in [[D]]I and [[air dodging]], has the overall effect of limiting or even outright removing some of Lucario's previously guaranteed combos from throw, which were some of the only reliable ways for it to add damage. | ||
Lucario's | However, it did receive some buffs. Lucario's overall mobility has been greatly improved due to faster horizontal movement, while the universal 3-frame [[jumpsquat]] further improves Lucario's ability to traverse the stage. Many of its attacks in general, notably its [[dash attack]], [[forward smash]], [[neutral aerial]], and [[forward aerial]], are faster, more reliable and less of hindrance, while its [[special move]]s have also been improved: [[Aura Sphere]] can now be cancelled into a jump or any ground attack during a charge, allowing for mixup options, Force Palm has more range, [[Double Team]] can now home in on opponents and is much faster overall, and [[Extreme Speed]] is overall safer due to its ending and previously notorious landing lag both being lowered. | ||
Despite its many buffs, Lucario's nerfs generally outweigh the buffs it received and is considered to be worse than its iteration in ''Smash 4'' at launch. To make matters worse, Lucario was nerfed again in patch 2.0.0 which led to {{Sm|ANTi}} dropping the character as well as Lucario not having a significant impact in America. However, {{Sm|Tsu}} continues to use Lucario and has done very well at many Japanese tournaments. | |||

===Tier placement and history=== | |||
When ''Ultimate'' was released, many players believed that Lucario had a lot of potential and that it was better than its already strong ''Smash 4'' incarnation. This was due to many of its moves either becoming faster or more reliable along with the character greatly benefiting from the game's mechanics. On top of this, {{SSBU|Donkey Kong}}, who was previously considered to be a hard counter to Lucario in ''Smash 4'', was now an easier matchup. Because of this, many players considered Lucario a solid high-tier character with some saying it had the potential to rise into the top tier. | |||
However, as the meta advanced, players recognized that the character's nerfs overshadowed the many buffs it received. This was because of aura's overall weaker damage multiplier, down air not being as safe for disadvantage, Aura Sphere having less versatility, its recovery being worse, the removal of some of its kill confirms, and some characters such as {{SSBU|Bowser}}, {{SSBU|Wario}}, and {{SSBU|Ness}} proving to be very troublesome matchups for Lucario. As a result, players' opinions on Lucario dropped and it obtained a below-average player base throughout ''Ultimate'''s metagame, with many players such as {{Sm|ESAM}} claiming that it's a low-tier character, ranking 71st on the first and current tier list. Despite this, players such as {{Sm|Tsu}} and {{Sm|Jeda}} have still placed fairly well at tournaments: Tsu placed 5th at {{Trn|Umebura Japan Major 2019}}, while Jeda placed 13th at {{Trn|Syndicate 2019}} and 17th at {{Trn|Albion 4}}. | |||
