Remake It! Lucario's Smash Moveset

- This is Remake It! Where we take another look at characters in Smash Bros. whose fighter designs have aged poorly, wandered too far out-of-character, or could otherwise benefit from a revisit, then theorycraft what a reworked and improved version of their moveset, playstyle, and other details might look like!
Up this time is someone with a disappointing legacy in Smash. Despite being one of the single most popular Pokémon, Lucario has been one of the least played characters in Ultimate's entire run (and wasn't very common in Smash 4 either). A likely culprit for the lack of interest in such a fan favorite? A moveset so reliant on a gimmick--one that harms as often as it helps--that it weakens the overall design and makes the character less fun to play.
But what if we could do something about that? The right changes to Lucario's moveset, stats, and underlying aura mechanic could fix the problems and make for a more solid foundation more players would want to try out! How could that be pulled off when Smash 6 rolls around? Watch and find out.

I would've just change Lucario's final smash to his Burst Attack from Pokken Tournament
9.5/10
Lucario with aura that won’t lead to him getting star KOed when at full power? And isn’t as weak at full health? Heck yeah I’m taking it!
Nitpick, Lucario obtained Meteor Mash in Ultra Sun Ultra Moon (Gen 7)
One idea I wanted Lucario to have is that his dbz up taunt would slowly damage him over time, raising his aura. While his new down taunt, calm mind, would slowly heal him. Making you have more control over your aura during downtime.
Used to play a bit of Lucario back in Smash 4. Really happy to see him improved.
Bone Rush is such an interesting move they've tied to Lucario but I would love to see it incorporated in his moveset. Overall, even just the simple Aura mechanics change really does a lot to help Lucario sound like a much more fun character.

This was a pretty well done revamp for Lucario! I didn't even realize how much of an overhaul he needed until watching this video!! For a future remake it video, I think ones for Young Link and Toon Link would be neat, as they could use tools and attacks that are specifically from their respective LoZ games to distinguish them from regular Link.
Funny how he’s the only pokemon in the game that actually talks, and not just saying their name. In a way, this particular Lucario is based on the one in the anime film, Lucario and the mystery of mew. Pikachu and jigglepuff are the only others that have some bases from the anime. I’m not to cultured with most of the games, so I don’t know if I missed something where he does speak. But if I’m correct, it strikes me odd how he’s more direct from that then from his overall species from the games.
As a Lucario main, I’m not gonna lie, I kinda like this remake. I like the idea of Aura being a less over baring aspect of the character makes it more technical then anything. And I really like the idea of a technical character rather than just another comeback mechanic reliant character. I’ve kinda wanted to see some changes made to Lucario and this is showing me things I didn’t know I wanted changed. Keep up the good work, and I look forward to other remakes in the future.
Change to bone rush, setting up for better combos by attacking from a further range was really smart
One suggestion for the Final Smash is that when he switches to two beams, instead of left and right controlling how close and far they are from each other, it still controls the angle he’s firing them at, with up and down controlling how large the gap between them are. I figure it’d allow for more precise control over the beams.
As a person who is a lucario main, I think everything in the video is a brilliant change.
First FSG does a vid on Lucario, now Del is doing one in the same week. Truly feels like this week belongs to my favorite Pokemon ever. (And believe me, Smash is the reason.)
Definitely a lot of Pokkén DNA in this moveset, which I don’t mind. Though I’m not sure if TPC would allow for Smash to include colors referencing other Pokémon.
What a way to start the new year! Overall, I really like this redesign of Pokemon Gen 4's most popular Mon as it does a much better of working in their iconic Aura gimmick better without it being overly frustrating to fight as, and against like it was in the past! I also greatly appreciate that you added in Lucario's Shiny Form as one of their new alternate costumes as I've never understood why the Pokemon fighters in Smash STILL to this day have never gotten a real Shiny variant, or vaguely resembles them, so it's to actually see the real deal as an official alt for once! 👍 I think the only other thing I might would do is have Lucario say "Watch the power of Aura!" again instead of "Max Aura" (though the current one is still fine). Hopefully now whenever Smash 6/7 gets here, Lucario will be much closer to this! I've a feeling that whenever your X Design Tier List video comes out pretty soon, Lucario will probably around Low-Mid Tier/D, or Low Tier/E (MAYBE even Bottom Tier/F). Another solid video, Delzethin! I look forward to the next Remake It video! I like that Wario is the next candidate next to Zelda! Hope he'll be the next one as while I think his current playstyle has aged okay 16 years later, it's still pretty dated in some areas, so I can't wait to see one of video gaming's biggest anti-heroes get his RI focus video in the future! 😃 "WAH-HAH!" HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 🎉
As Lucario fan myself, I really love this move that you put into it. I really appreciate that. You’re a number one.
wow that up b is INSANE (it’s been a minute since the video released and I haven’t watched it)
This was wonderful! Maining Lucario since Brawl (sub main in Ultimate), this moveset makes Lucario much more versatile at early percents and I’m here for it!! Great work as always, Del!
