      Could you imagine a Lucario winning a Big House event? I mean if Amsa did it with Melee Yoshi, then either Armadillo or Tsu can do it with Ultimate Lucario.

    Cool fact, Armadillo has said he doesn't like the way aura works and it's not the reason he plays lucario. He plays lucario cause he loves the crazy movement and stuff he can do like wavebounce charge shot into bair. He thinks it would be better if aura wasn't as strong but the character was also less bad without it.
    Also great job Armadillo you deserve it!

      That's a pretty common thing among Lucario players. Having a substantially less extreme aura/not having aura is generally preferable than the current setup. With less extreme aura Lucario would probably have gotten some nice stuff like an up smash scoop that doesn't suck and not having a full tail hurtbox and would retain the best parts like AS shenanigans

      That’s unfathomably based. I actually really like Lucario, but hate the way Aura works. It’s the only thing that’s stopped me from playing him. If Aura was balanced out to just increase Lucario’s base power without Aura but decrease his power at max Aura, or even just reworked to where he gains buffs at 100% like Terry and Kazuya do, then he’d feel much less cheesy than he currently does as a fighter. I’d also prefer it if Lucario didn’t gain/lose out on damage depending on the stock difference between him and his opponent. I feel the same as Armadillo, I really do like Lucario, I just hate how Aura punishes you for doing well and rewards you way too much for being behind

      I too aspire to be good with blue furry Goku. I‘ve actually always liked Lucario and considered picking him up, I just hate how Aura works. What finally pushed me to pick up Lucario was hearing that Armadillo also dislikes how Aura works and thinks that Lucario’s base power should be stronger at the cost of him being rewarded far less for being behind, yet he likes Lucario in terms of character/moveset and continued to play him. He’s a fun character and I’m glad I picked him up

    -Up tilt can clash with airborne attacks and is a great anti-air

    The main weakness of Lucario is that he’s in Smash Ultimate, so by playing well enough to where you avoid many of those conditions where Lucario, like most other characters in Ultimate, just explode, you can definitely get a lot more mileage off of Aura and, by proxy, Lucario becomes a way better character because he gets way more opportunities to take advantage of the factors that are supposed to make up for his flaws, which is how we end up in situations like this where Lucario just goes on insane runs out of nowhere. Good shit to Armadillo, can’t wait to see what the future holds for him.
