For its appearance in ''SSB4'', Lucario is voiced once again by Daisuke Namikawa in Japanese as well as Sean Schemmel in English, the latter of whom replaces Bill Rogers from ''Brawl'' and voiced [[bulbapedia:Lucario (M08)|the Lucario]] in ''{{s|bulbapedia|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew}}''. As in ''Brawl'', Lucario is also voiced in the ''SSB4'''s language in Spanish, French, German and Italian. | For its appearance in ''SSB4'', Lucario is voiced once again by Daisuke Namikawa in Japanese as well as Sean Schemmel in English, the latter of whom replaces Bill Rogers from ''Brawl'' and voiced [[bulbapedia:Lucario (M08)|the Lucario]] in ''{{s|bulbapedia|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew}}''.

Lucario is ranked at 22nd out of 56 on the [[tier list]], placing it at the bottom of the C tier. This is a fairly noticeable drop from its placement in ''Brawl'', where it was ranked 11th out of 38. Lucario's [[aura]] ability has been strengthened, giving its moves incredible power when it is at high damages, as well as granting new benefits to its special moves. However, some of Lucario's moves, such as its smash attacks, have been worsened in other ways, making it more dependent on aura to secure KOs and thus giving it a riskier playstyle than before. | Lucario is ranked at 22nd out of 56 on the [[tier list]], placing it at the bottom of the C tier and making it the lowest ranking high-tier character.

Overall, Lucario achieved lukewarm results in the early lifespan of ''SSB4'', but more recently, it has achieved better tournament representation in competitive play thanks to notable players such as {{sm|Day}}, {{sm|Motsunabe}} and {{sm|Serge}}. At [[Smash Factor 5]], the latter, along with fellow smashers Daimy and richi, placed among the top 10 using Lucario. Day also managed to place 17th at [[Super_Smash_Con_2016#Super_Smash_Bros._for_Wii_U_singles|Super Smash Con 2016]], a much bigger tournament which had many top level threats attending. He managed to knock {{sm|ZeRo}} into the losers bracket of said tournament, a feat achieved by only a select few. {{sm|Gomamugitya}} also managed to place 1st with his partner in the [[Super_Smash_Con_2016#Super_Smash_Bros._for_Wii_U_doubles|doubles]] tournament of Super Smash Con 2016, using Lucario. In light of these recent developments, Lucario has risen from the bottom of D tier to the bottom of C. Despite only rising a single spot, this rise in tiering indicates a strong positive shift in community perception of Lucario. As such, Lucario is still seen as a viable pick in tournaments. | Overall, Lucario achieved lukewarm results in the early lifespan of ''SSB4'', but more recently, it has achieved better tournament representation in competitive play thanks to notable players such as {{sm|Day}}, {{sm|Motsunabe}} and {{sm|Serge}}.
