Lucario is effectively a completely different character in PM than it is in ''Brawl''. Its previous main attribute, that of [[aura]] increasing its damage output when it's at high percentages, has been completely removed and replaced with a system that mimics behaviour of traditional fighting games.
Firstly, Lucario has command of a type of [[interruptibility]] termed a "magic series". There are two lists of attack types: "neutral/dash, tilt, smash, special" and "aerial, special". If Lucario hits a foe or a shield with an attack, it can immediately interrupt the attack's ending lag with any attack that's next in the list. The string can begin at any point and can skip over items in the middle, but cannot go backwards or link into itself. For example, connecting with a neutral attack allows Lucario to instantly use a tilt, smash attack, or special attack, while hitting with a smash will allow any special attack. This allows Lucario to string together up to 4 attacks extremely quickly.
Secondly, every attack landed by Lucario gives it "aura points", equal to 1.2x the damage dealt (if a shield is it, 0.6x is earned instead). Upon accumulating 50 aura points in one stock, Lucario earns an "aura charge" that it can spend to amplify the power of a special move. Lucario can hold 2 charges (which takes just over 83% damage to build up), but loses all its points and charges if it is KO'd.
With these two mechanics put together, Lucario's goal is to put together long combos to rack up damage and finish the opponent with a powered-up special move.

Lucario is a playable character in the Brawl mod Project M.

Attributes

Lucario is effectively a completely different character in PM than it is in Brawl. Its previous main attribute, that of aura increasing its damage output when it's at high percentages, has been completely removed and replaced with a system that mimics behaviour of traditional fighting games.

Firstly, Lucario has command of a type of interruptibility termed a "magic series". There are two lists of attack types: "neutral/dash, tilt, smash, special" and "aerial, special". If Lucario hits a foe or a shield with an attack, it can immediately interrupt the attack's ending lag with any attack that's next in the list. The string can begin at any point and can skip over items in the middle, but cannot go backwards or link into itself. For example, connecting with a neutral attack allows Lucario to instantly use a tilt, smash attack, or special attack, while hitting with a smash will allow any special attack. This allows Lucario to string together up to 4 attacks extremely quickly.

Secondly, every attack landed by Lucario gives it "aura points", equal to 1.2x the damage dealt (if a shield is it, 0.6x is earned instead). Upon accumulating 50 aura points in one stock, Lucario earns an "aura charge" that it can spend to amplify the power of a special move. Lucario can hold 2 charges (which takes just over 83% damage to build up), but loses all its points and charges if it is KO'd.

With these two mechanics put together, Lucario's goal is to put together long combos to rack up damage and finish the opponent with a powered-up special move.

Changes from Brawl to PM

  • Change Aura mechanics revamped as described above.
  • Buff Up smash is now a leaping uppercut with repeating hitboxes leading to a strong final hit. It deals up to 19% damage, and can be jump canceled on hit and turned around during start-up. It has overall much more utility than the Brawl up smash.
  • Change Neutral aerial is now a spinning hurricane kick that does 15% damage, and lingers after a strong initial hit.
  • Buff Each special move has a "super" version, utilized by having an aura charge ready and pressing both "attack" and "special attack".
  • Nerf Aura Sphere moves slower the more charged it is and has fewer charge levels.
  • Buff Force Palm can be used in a series and meteor smashes aerially-grabbed opponents.
  • Buff ExtremeSpeed deals slight damage and knockback with repeating hitboxes (up to 9%).
  • Change Double Team is no longer a counter. It is now a short dash which grants invincibility. While in the air, Lucario will dash diagonally downwards. It can be canceled by any normal attack at the cost of one aura charge.
