Lucario (SSB4)

Lucario (ルカリオ, Rukario) 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 the Miiverse reveal, this timing was done to commend the Brawl developers for succeeding in adding Lucario to said game. Like many of the other characters in Smash 4 that come from cartoonish franchises, Lucario has a less realistic and more sleek look than it did in Brawl, with its fur being less accentuated and its proportions more akin to its recent three-dimensional appearances in Pokédex 3D Pro, Pokémon X and Pokémon Y.

Lucario's voice actor from the film Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, Sean Schemmel, reprises his role as Lucario's voice actor for its appearance in Super Smash Bros. 4, as opposed to Bill Rogers, who voiced it in Brawl.

Trivia

The Lucario error on the Super Smash Bros. official Facebook page
  • While the transformation into Mega Lucario in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS has a lot of starting lag, said lag is practically non-existent in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
  • 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.[1]
    • His 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.
