Brawl Character Tutorial Project?, Would it kick off?

Fortunately, Kirby has been my main ever since the N64 days. So I'm a total natural with him. And I use a lot of his moves, not just the stone.

Though you already knew that.

a few edits and additions:


Standard moves:
Standard AAA combo: an okay combo to use, but applications are sparse if your opponent knows how to block. the kick leaves you wide open for retaliation afterwards, and it's often best to jab once, or jab twice and use another move, such as a grab or the forward B attack. this can confuse an opponent, and can even hit them if they decide to down dodge, due to the energy burst that comes out afterwards.

Forward smash: it's not a punch at all.. he forces a a conic concentration of aura out in front of him. it's basically a huge explosion from his palms that can send opponents flying, as often times people are never really sure of the true range of this attack. best used to end comboes, or end opponents.

which brings me to another point.. due to lucario's beginning power level which isn't that good, it's good to save his killing attacks for when you're either powered up from your damage, or by not using em until your opponent is within killing range (at the ledge of a stage, around 90 - 130 is a good range to mess with. don't forget about DIMINISHING RETURNS. don't repeatedly use the same move if you didnt kill with it in the first place.) good kill moves are forward smash (prefferably near the tip), down smash (at the tips, where the actual explosions occur), back aerial (at the upper part of the explosion coming from his palm at the first frame of the attack), up aerial (beginning of the attack, tip of foot), down aerial, and neutral aerial off the stage. hitting with the beginning of each attack, and hitting precisely is important as you can tell.

back to the attacks themselves..

Down smash: Lucario's aura explodes from his palms on both sides. this is nice to use against opponents who love to roll. use it as a preemptive strike.. a punish attack, rather. otherwise, its slow startup is easy to see coming and you in turn can be punished for ignoring the fact that timing is required.

Up Smash: Lucario does a sort of, on teh ground shoryuken, shooting a cone of aura above him, like his forward smash. i'm not sure about the exact strong point of this attack, but i'd only use it on a helpless opponent, or one that will not be able to fall past it. the up smash also lingers a bit, so if your timing is a bit off the opponent will run to your opening only to get a whiff of your awesome aura.

Down aerial: this move's uses extend beyond stopping yourself in mid air, it also punishes basically every possible combo in the game. you can shield an attack, jump above an opponent and give them a quick stomping. rinse and repeat until they start to block, then go in for a few quick grabs. keep your opponent's footing completely destroyed.


**ADDED**

Forward Aerial: Lucario kicks up a small burst of aura from his foot. this is your opening move to many of lucario's comboes. add another forward aerial or two...finish with a neutral aerial, up aerial, down aerial, whatever. the range is also confusing to some opponents, like his forward smash. keep people away from you!

Back aerial: Lucario puffs concentrated aura from behind him. nice to use off the ledge to shove opponents out of range for recovery. the sweet spot around the top ledge of the attack is potentially deadly.

Neutral Aerial: combo finisher, and a nice way to get an opponent away from you for some breathing space. this attack lasts quite a while, so be careful and make sure you have some room while using this off teh stage. landing this attack cancels out immediately, so you can sometimes use it to open up for comboes if they're not pushed too far.

Forward tilt: Lucario reaches forward and puffs aura outwards. this attack hits twice, and sometimes pokes through shields. the range is great, and the speed is also great. great for spacing, great for punishing. this is an awesome move..just don't become predictable with it.

Up tilt: obvious combo starter, and also punishes opponents trying to attack you close range. follow up with an aerial of any kind, make sure you land it right. if they're heavy, up aerial to grab works well. comboing into more up tilts is good as well, just make sure to get out of the way eery once in a while to see if your opponent will try to retaliate.

Down tilt: a possible finisher for the A+A+(attack) combo, also a spacer. sticks out in front of you, lifts opponents fairly high..not too reliable for kills, though it really looks like it hurts. just a sort of back up off me type move at best.


Specials
B: Aura Sphere

You don't hold b to charge, you press once to charge, press again to fire, blocking or hitting a direction to roll will pause charging. while charging, the aura sphere itself can damage your opponent, sometimes pushing them a bit in front of you..at this point you can let them sit there struggling a bit, and fire your sphere. the sphere will keep them locked in it, and it will hit them, guaranteed. very situational..don't count on it. you're better off using small aura spheres to control your opponent's movement, and charging a big one to scare them. you don't even have to actually use it to kill them. Believe me, they'll screw themselves over..especially if they have a reflector/absorber move.

Forward B: force palm can be used in many ways, but they're all extremely risky, and you have to know your opponent. using the force palm attack stops your movement completely, so it can be used to force your opponent to try and attack you while you rushed them. use this to play games with yer opponent...only if you really want to..not recommended, though..unless you know your opponents really well

Down B: only thing i can add here is that the move itself takes a little bit longer to take affect. time a bit ahead when you decide to use this move..using it at the exact right time....will just let you get hit. think ahead! this is lucario's entire game, thinking ahead.

Up B: if you're recovering, try to hit the floor with this move. you'll bounce to your feet faster than if you just landed after the move itself.


Final Smash: Aura Storm

One tip while using this move...your opponent is gonna run. aim the other way. he's most likely gonna try and run back. then again, this depends on who you're fighting... which brings me back to thinking ahead... know your opponent, and lucario's arsenal of comboes will overwhelm them.

Thanks conker for your addition to Parakarry's tut.

Oh yeah guys, if you haven't voted 'yes' on the poll, then do so, because one of the aims (check first post) is to have at least 20 yeses

@Danster724: I'll consider doing this, but not yet. We'll need a vast amount of data before we can consider making a website for it.

*bump*

:|

we now have 20 yeses

Yep, but we just need one more tut and we can beta them

Don't you think you could add an index to the first post with URLs to the different tutorials that have been posted for easy access to them?

That sure would be nice.

Problem is, I don't know how to get the tutorials onto an external link.

Any ideas?

finished up Olimar

Thanks Toadster, Banjo Sonic, and any other person that I've missed who has improved their tut. Please tell me if you've improved so that I can have a look at it and stuff.

We needz to have more matchupz

Press the "Posted on" text above the post, and you'll get a handy dandy link to the post itself.

I might write a few things about everyone's favorite 2-dimensional later...

this my tutorial
wario is one of the easiest to master he is bad againt mario and people who use long range
the bike cant counter anything but is his best move(besides warioman)
his bite is good because u keep atacking and can throw them far
the fart is only good at the right time
the wario spin is best against say kirby meta kinght pit or any othe flying characters it knocks them off the screen easy

I might create one for Ness or Mario.

It'll be a while getting the percentages though.

First post done.

That's too short.

mine is complete

You still need matchups
