Lucario (ルカリオ, Lucario) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It was confirmed as a playable character on June 12th, 2018.

Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

  NOTE: SmashWiki is not speculative. Please refrain from adding detailed data values derived from pre-release gameplay footage, such as the E3 demo. Such data (damage values, launch trajectories, frame data, etc.) are subject to change before the official release.

Aesthetics

  •   Lucario's model features a more subdued color scheme. Its fur is more detailed, similar to Brawl.
  •   Aura is now cyan in color instead of indigo, and its visual effects are smoother. At high aura, the flames produced are more vibrant and intense, leaving behind a trail as Lucario moves.

Attributes

  •   Like all characters, Lucario's jumpsquat animation now takes three frames to complete.

Ground attacks

  •   Forward tilt has a new animation, with Lucario leaning back before the palm thrust.
  •   Forward smash has longer range.
  •   Forward smash has more vibrant aura effects.

Aerial Attacks

  •   Up aerial has an altered animation, with Lucario backflipping following the initial kick.

Special Moves

  •   Aura Sphere has less end lag.
  •   Aura Sphere travels slower.
  •   Aura Sphere is now visually closer to how it appears in the anime and games. It has an "energy absorption" visual effect when charging and no longer emits a trail of smoke when launched.
  •   Extreme Speed travels a shorter distance.
  •   Double Team's counterattack activates faster, making the attack harder to avoid.
  •   Lucario's Final Smash has been reverted to Aura Storm, but it now transforms into Mega Lucario.
