Lucario is currently ranked 11th on the [[Tier list#SSBB tier list|tier list]], placing it at the top of the C+ tier. Lucario is most known for its [[Aura]] property that increases its power as its [[damage]] goes up and is bolstered even further when its placing falls in a match. At high percentages, Lucario possesses KO power that rivals that of {{SSBB|Bowser}} and {{SSBB|Ganondorf}}, while its attacks are much faster. Outside of aura, Lucario possesses what is considered one of the strongest [[aerial]] games, with its above average [[air speed]] and [[floaty]] falling speed giving it strong aerial movement, while its amazing and well balanced aerial attacks give it some of the best offensive and defensive aerial capabilities. Lucario additionally possesses a strong defensive game to bolster its aura property farther, possessing good movement, great [[reach]], a strong and spammable projectile in [[Aura Sphere]], and extremely fast and long distanced [[roll]]s. Lucario also has one of the strongest [[combo]]ing abilities in ''Brawl'', possessing several effective combo starters and attacks that flow into each other well, as well as a strong [[grab]] and [[throw]] game. Lucario's Aura property acts as a double-edged sword however, as its attacks are extremely weak at low damage percents. Since Lucario lacks an effective gimping move and has only a few moves that aren't affected by Aura (none of which are reliable KO moves), Lucario has to be at high damage percentages to KO effectively, where it is then vulnerable to KOs itself. Lucario, despite possessing a good recovery, can be problematic; even though Lucario can cover good distance when recovering and its recovery move [[ExtremeSpeed]] is versatile with unique properties, ExtremeSpeed lacks [[invincibility frame]]s and damaging [[hitbox]]es while also not being very fast. This makes ExtremeSpeed heavily vulnerable to [[edge-hogging]] and makes Lucario one of the easier characters to [[edge-guard]]. Overall, Lucario has strong [[matchup]]s, with only two [[Counter (matchup)|counter]]ed matchups against {{SSBB|Meta Knight}} and {{SSBB|King Dedede}}, and it has achieved strong [[tournament]] results. | Lucario is currently ranked 11th on the [[Tier list#SSBB tier list|tier list]], placing it at the top of the C+ tier.
