Lucario to Return to Smash Bros

by

Lucario was announced today as a returning character in Super Smash Bros: Wii U / 3DS. This is a great surprise with the recent release of Pokémon X and Y. I personally thought Lucario would have been up for removal for a generation six Pokemon (not to say that they won’t add another one, though), but its great to see it return to the series!

In the previous installment, Lucario’s “aura” grew stronger as his damage meter grew higher. Sakurai explains that this feature will be enhanced in the next installment of Smash Bros, which makes Lucario’s strength “a force to be reckoned with”. It will be interesting to learn how his aura effects the battle field and, as a Lucario user, how his play style will change.

Earlier today I had the pleasure to have an in-person discussion regarding this announcement with some of the Pokéjungle staff today and we were throwing some ideas around about Lucario’s addition to the Smash roster. Our speculation is that his final smash this time around will be his mega evolution instead of “Aura Blast”. He could be faster, stronger, and much more difficult to K.O which in his Mega Lucario state. I think they should even give it an expanded move-set in addition to a strength buff. Perhaps a longer range aura or added bounce effect to his moves. Also this will no doubt bring up speculation about Mewtwo and whether or not this news means he will not return as Lucario replaced him in the previous game and may do so for this one.

We’ll have to see what Sakurai has in store for us next with his rather elusive updates to Smash! I’m hoping for the return of another new Pokémon character (Pokemon Trainer with three new starters. . .?! A guy can dream, right?).

What do you hope for in the next Smash update? A new Pokémon Character? Some Metroid or Starfox love, perhaps? We’d love to here what you think!

  16. In 95% of my online battles, my opponent lets me set up Volcarona with 1-2 quiver dances. Then when I’m almost done sweeping their entire team, they rage quit…. smh -___-

          • not torchiks behind, i started playing bravery default (demo)) and it sucked me in for 10 HOURS!!all in one day xD … my pokemon game has 23 hours so far but this demo took 10 hours, have you played it?

          • its from the creators of FINAL FANTASy and it has great music, you start with 4 characters and you get to make each one into a knight or mage etc.. different classes and use each class ability to come up with a strategy, the fighting part of the game is almost like pokemon! its FUN! you should play it! I can assure you, you won’t be bored to death!

          • there is a demo, download it and the game comes out on the 5th or 7th of february and what ever you accomplish on the demo will be send to the actual game so you won’t have to restart all over again! if you have played FF dissidia and loved the music you will fall for this game!

          • I think i will love this game!!! The sad thing is i have never played FF i always wanted to but i just never thought about it when i am in a store

          • well i didn’t played the GAmes what i played was dissidia which is good vs evil meaning they take the 13 good protagonist of each game 1-13 and put them in the game to fight the main villain of each game!!!and the MUSIC is out of this world!!!! lmao! but to play dissidia you need a psp! 🙁 BUT last year they released ff rhythm something on ads it has all characters from the psp game but the thing is that (this game is kind of like guitar hero)were you hit the notes in order to attack you’re opponent!
