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.
