Does his reveal have any relevance to any specific date at all?

 

[Sandfox]

If there's a poster child, I'd consider it either Gardevoir or Lopunny

Sonic.

 

[TWILT]

Quite happy he's back. Always did like him more than Mewtwo.

I'd still like some -new- playable Pokemons though.

 

[ScraftyDevil]

Spoiler

Mew = classic Sonic, Mewtwo = modern Sonic

Preeeeetty much. I'll take the cute little thing over the ugly overgrown cat fetus any day.

 

[MrSaturn99]

There's no reason to believe that we can't get both.

This. I prefer Mewtwo as well, but I'm not going bonkers about it.

 

[Kyzon]

Just because mewtwo and lucario have similar neutral B attacks doesn't discredit mewtwo's viability for the game.

Mewtwo was only cut from brawl due to time restraints.

 

[Professor Beef]

Hell yeah, my main is back. Hopefully his Up+B and Down+B aren't awful. It'd be nice to have more than a projectile to use for specials.

Lucario again?

Fuck.

Honest question. Why do people like this character?

Because he's the poster child for the furry community. Mewtwo is better in every conceivable way.

Furries.

Agreed. I personally wasn't looking forward to this reveal. Mewtwo should have replaced him but oh well. The return of a beat-up-buddy.

Lucario fucking sucks. God dammit, so much for getting Mewtwo back.

This piece of shit is like the Sonic of Pokemon. Trying to make an "edgy" character and shit. Absolutely awful.

He's like Poochie, except his xtreme 90's style is replaced with some bullshit Jedi-Super Saiyan powers.

Again? This piece of shit instead of Mewtwo? Sigh.

^ lucario haters:

 

[Loco4Coco]

Lucario getting the Rey Mysterio heat from the fans.

 

[McDougles]

You can always trust a Pokemon character reveal for a Smash roster to turn even the better communities into GameFAQs-tier at the drop of the hat.

 

[Chance Hale]

There's nothing cel shaded about it. It just has bold outlines, which also can be disabled.

Bold outlines are a large part of what makes celshading look the way it does. That's good in any case.

 

[TomShoe]

nice

Wow, I didn't even realize Lucario had a tail until now. I must be going blind. Too much GAF, yeah. That must be it.

 

[Mariolee]

For some reason this makes me think Mewtwo will be in even more. Sakurai's vague statements from E3 about Mewtwo and him knowing how popular he is, I would avatar/tag bet it.

 

[SolarKnight]

Why do people keep thinking this automatically means there is no Mewtwo. Stop it.

I'm glad he's back, I'm both conflicted and relieved knowing that he's not gonna play like his Project M version. Sure it was actually pretty cool and stronger, but I dunno, I just wasn't that much of a fan. Still, wish he could somehow get that super Aura Sphere he had there that was awesome.

 

[BMOFTW]

Final Smash= Mega Lucario

 

[Mass Effect]

If there's a poster child, I'd consider it either Gardevoir or Lopunny

Now that makes far more sense.

Spoiler

Mew = classic Sonic, Mewtwo = modern Sonic

Except Mew and Mewtwo existed at the same time? Stop with these silly comparisons.

 

[Parallax]

if lucario is in, then please give roy a second chance sakurai

 

[Grakl]

Final Smash= Mega Lucario

definitely

 

[one_kill]

Hope Lucario's final smash is its mega evolution

 

[Niwa]

I hope his: Down + B "ES IST NOCH NICHT VORBEI" from Brawl remains.

 

[Phire Phox]

Liked Lucario in Brawl, but he was a bit too floaty imo.

 

[ScraftyDevil]

Except Mew and Mewtwo were existed at the same time? Stop with these silly comparisons.

I think he was talking in terms of likability and design, not popularity.

 

[foxuzamaki]

 

[zhorkat]

definitely

One would think so, but you never know.

 

[Mango The Magician]

I'm going to be honest here, not only did I forget that he was in Brawl, I forgot the character even existed.

 

[B-Dubs]

I was hoping we'd get Mega Charizard X as the pokemon of choice for smash.

 

[Silky]

Look at all of these salty ass chicken wusses

Lucario is the fucking truth. He's Pokemon's Hong Kong Fooey

 

[Zeyphersan]

Greninja would have been the best choice, but even then, he would have been far removed from both Mewtwo and Lucario.

Greninja would have been awesome

 

[foxuzamaki]

I'm going to be honest here, not only did I forget that he was in Brawl, I forgot the character even existed.

That's on you, Lucario is one of the most popular characters in pokemon lol.

 

[LuuKyK]

Really? Lucario again? ...

Call me whenever the far more interesting pokémons Mewtwo and Jigglypuff are revealed.

 

[The M.O.B]

The only thing I see is obnoxious clipping on the red jacket guy >_<

Somebody cure this disease

 

[Mass Effect]

I think he was talking in terms of likability and design, not popularity.

He's still wrong either way.

And I just noticed that typo now that you quoted me.

 

[sn00zer]

I hope his: Down + B "ES IST NOCH NICHT VORBEI" from Brawl remains.

god his down b sucked.......his over b, neutral a, blue balls, damage power scale and air game though...magnific....so much fun to play as...and dude hit like a frieght train at high damage

 

[SparksterMeta0]

I was hoping for a different Pokemon from maybe Kalos, but I can't figure out who would be a suitable replacement for Lucario.

Whatever. Aura Time.

 

[Ryaaan14]

This is literally the first time I've ever heard of this motherfucker.

 

[ruddiger7]

New characters would be more welcome. Holding out for shulke from Xenoblade.

 

[Ryce]

Does his reveal have any relevance to any specific date at all?

Brawl came out in Japan six years ago today.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

Mewtwo still has a shot guys. Lucario doesn't replace anyone.

Keep calm and hold strong.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

I was hoping for a different Pokemon from maybe Kalo, but I can't figure out who would be a suitable replacement for Lucario.

Hawlucha would be awesome from a gameplay standpoint (a luchadore), but he's one-note in the game.

I still think Dedenne has a chance as a new version of Pichu.

 

[Save 'N Quit]

Yay! One of the best Pokemon in the series and my main from Brawl is back.

 

[Lord_Byron28]

Anyone who thought Lucario was going to be cut doesn't pay attention to the fact that he is still one of the more marketed and popular pokemon. He was given his own arc in the X/Y games which is something given how little focus any individual pokemon gets in a game especially one that doesn't even belong to that generation. Id say he's more relevant now than during the Brawl days since most people assumed he was going to disappear once gen 5 came around like most mascot pokemon from their respective generation do.

I still fully expect Mewtwo and I'm not sure why people didn't expect Lucario or think Mewtwo's chances are lowered.

 

[Professor Beef]

Liked Lucario in Brawl, but he was a bit too floaty imo.

To be fair, so was everyone else.

 

[bon]

I'm going to be honest here, not only did I forget that he was in Brawl, I forgot the character even existed.

Lucario is inexplicably one of the most popular Pokémon despite being very boring.

True, and before that he was featured quite a bit in the lead-up to B2W2 as one of the "returning Pokemon", being prominently featured in the B2W2 Anime commercial.

I really, really, really wanted Genesect though...

 

[vall03]

I'd like to start with a rant on why they just announced a new Pokemon now, was really expecting a new Pokemon announce during the X&Y release. Then with the announcement, part of me says "Yay! Lucario is back!", but theres also a part of me that wants Mewtwo back, but I'm fine with this either way.

Also hoping that his Final Smash would be Mega Lucario since I wasn't really fond of his Brawl Final Smash. Something like Warios Final Smash giving you full control while attack damage increases, his Pokemon Ability is Adaptability after all.

Another thing I'd like to mention is that with this announcement, I really have this feeling that none of the Brawl roster will be cut, most would just be given new movesets based on their recent game appearance.

 

[EatChildren]

Jigglypuff > Lucario

 

[MannyToons]

Oh god, he looks kinda gross. Ah well. Don't care much for the character, but I enjoyed using him in Brawl. Will probably be one of my mains again. ...Even if he's ridiculously floaty.

Wait a minute. Why the HELL are people assuming Mewtwo won't be in?

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Brawl came out in Japan six years ago today.

Ah yes! I checked seeing if it was Red/Blue related but that's in Feb.

GAF really is 50/50 with Lucario. If he was replaced I wouldn't have been too bothered but he's gotten a great make over.

 

[sn00zer]

In terms of fun factor and gameplay...Lucario>>>Mewtwo...Mewtwo is the better character, but Lucario is just much more fun to play....also because i was pretty decent with him and most consider him to be shit tier so they never fight him.....boy were they surprised at mah blue ball timing...shit could be devastating if they are trying to fall back to stage
EDIT: So damn excited
