Lucario is currently ranked 22nd out of 58 on the [[tier list]], placing it at the bottom of the C tier and making it the lowest ranking high-tier character. This is a fairly noticeable drop from its placement in ''Brawl'', where it was ranked 11th out of 38. Lucario's signature [[Aura]] mechanic has been strengthened, giving its moves incredible power when it is highly damaged, 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 currently ranked 22nd out of 58 on the [[tier list]], placing it at the bottom of the C tier and making it the lowest ranking high-tier character.

===Tier placement and history=== | |||
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 players attending and notably saw him defeat {{sm|ZeRo}}, which sent him 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 while using Lucario. | |||
In light of these recent developments, Lucario's tier status was reassessed and resulted in it going from a mid-tier placement of 23rd within the first tier list to a high-tier placement of 22nd within the current tier list. Despite only rising a single spot, this rise indicates a strong positive shift in community perception of Lucario. As such, Lucario is still seen as a viable pick in tournaments. | |||
