'''Lucario''' ({{ja|ルカリオ|Rukario}}, ''Lucario'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. It was announced on January 31st, 2014, the same day that ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' was released in Japan; according to an extra post on [https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAADMUKli5Hr24Q the Miiverse reveal], this timing was done to commend the ''Brawl'' developers for succeeding in adding Lucario to said game. .
'''Lucario sucks .


For its appearance in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', Lucario is voice by Sean Schemmel (who first voiced him in ''Lucario and the Mystery of Mew''). Lucario is also voiced by a different voice actor in the PAL versions.

==Changes from ''Brawl''==
==Changes from ''Brawl''==
Despite being a high tier character in ''Brawl'', Lucario has been heavily buffed in its transition from ''Brawl'' to ''SSB4''. The influence of Lucario's [[aura]] has been increased, giving him a better recovery and increased range on some of his attacks.
Lucario has been raped
 
===Aesthetics===
===Aesthetics===
Like many of the other characters in ''SSB4'' that come from cartoonish franchises, Lucario has a less realistic and more sleek look than it did in ''Brawl'';  its fur is less accentuated and its proportions are more akin to its recent three-dimensional appearances in ''Pokédex 3D Pro'', ''Pokémon X'' and ''Pokémon Y''.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Lucario Error SSB4 Facebook.jpg|thumb|The Lucario error on the ''Super Smash Bros.'' official Facebook page]]
*On the ''Super Smash Bros.'' official Facebook page, Lucario was first listed as originating from ''Pokémon Diamond'' and ''Pokémon Pearl'' on the GBA, while the games were released on the Nintendo DS. This was, however, fixed.<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/SmashBrosEN/photos/a.266600980180256.1073741830.224173137756374/357747314398955/?type=1&theater]</ref>
**Its actual first in-game appearance was as a statue in ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team'', with ''Red Rescue Team'' being a GBA game.
*Lucario is one of two Pokémon to not have a custom move share its name with an actual Pokémon attack, the other being {{SSB4|Greninja}}.
