Undid edit by Yummy soccer: Worded weirdly, plus this goes without saying with a lot of other characters. The final paragraph is just supposed to summarize whatever was written.

Lucario's [[Character customization|custom moves]] can give it notable benefits. Snaring Aura Sphere has a [[wind]] effect that pulls opponents in and moves slower, essentially re-purposing the move from a spacing and [[camping]] tool to a stage control and edge-guarding tool. Piercing Aura Sphere moves much faster, hits at a lower angle and goes straight through opponents, making it even better at spacing and camping, but at the cost of its immense power. Long-Distance Force Palm has less power, but as its name implies, it has more range, allowing Lucario to strike distant opponents more easily. The grab is also stronger and a semi-spike, making it lethal in any situation. Ride the Wind gives the full distance at any percentage, as well as greatly improved maneuverability. Lastly, Glancing Counter is considerably weaker, but always allows Lucario to attack even if it is not hit. | Lucario's [[Character customization|custom moves]] can give it notable benefits.

In the end, Lucario is a very technical character whose weaknesses are outweighed by its strengths | In the end, Lucario is a very technical character whose weaknesses are outweighed by its strengths. While aura makes Lucario's moveset stronger and it boasts great utility at all kinds of percentages overall, it cannot use all of its moves as effectively at certain percentages as others, meaning Lucario cannot afford to get too predictable when approaching as it can take high damage if not approaching correctly, and it might not be able to KO the opponent or even approach it if they know what Lucario will do. This makes playing with Lucario very methodical, as a small error could cost Lucario for it, even if it manages to regain the advantage in any way. Even so, Lucario does have a small but dedicated playerbase, with players like {{Sm|Day}}, {{Sm|Gomamugitya}}, {{Sm|Motsunabe}} and {{Sm|Serge}} achieving strong results. | ||
