So. About the Aura Sphere. It's Lucario's standard B attack and charges up over time. Lucario has three sound effects: one for no-charge sphere, one for a semi-charged sphere, and one for fully charged sphere. Being an Aura Pokemon, of course it's called an Aura Sphere.
What's so interesting about it is that the power grows as Lucario's damage gets larger. Lucario at 0% would deal 13% of damage. If Lucario takes 20% more damage then the Aura Sphere will deal 1 more percent of damage. As its power grows, the sphere also grows in size. The power peaks at 26% damage, when Lucario is at 167%. If Kirby inhales Lucario, he has a fixed rate of around 17% damage. Like most charged B shots, if you tilt the stick in the opposite direction you're facing just before you let go of B, the shot will go in the other direction. Lucario's aura sphere charges rather quickly as well as firing quickly, and due to Lucario's floaty substance it makes it easy to hit airborne targets. The Aura Sphere was not invented in Brawl but in the previous Pokemon games.
That's cool!
ReplyDeleteI personally LOVE Lucario and Mewtwo looks lamer then Olimar and Lucas.
I mean, no offense to anyone, but Mewtwo is a little kitten and Lucario's a tall and sleek wolf. BEAT THAT, MEWTWO LOVERS!
btw, KIRBY RULES W/ HAMMER!
no kidding :)
ReplyDeletekirby DOES pwn with hammer (spam it and you rule) and he has one of the best recoveries (probably pit leading) with easy dodging access and a projectile.
Lucario is really good too, though i never really got the knack of him. i never played melee, but from what i've been seeing he DOES look lamer than olimar. then again, you have to know every nook and cranny of Lucario to pwn with him, but CPU level nine beat me in about two seconds when I was ike (still trying to master him) 'cause i don't think CPU need to familiarize themselves with characters lol
in my opinion, one character stands out from the suckish list: Olimar. and saying mewtwo looks lamer than olimar is really saying something XD
True true on everything.
ReplyDeleteIke can still pwn just as good as Marth because of his heavyweight regular attacks. I mean, Ike can KO with some 1-2 upward kicks...
Lucario is my second-favorite character in Brawl (aside from Kirby or Link). His final smash is kinda lame because of its slowness and brevity, but his superior recovery helps. I pwned a master Kirby brawler with Lucario at one life each.
In short, Kirby, Lucario, Ike and Link are probably the best characters in Brawl! Also, Olimar is about as good as Starfy when it comes to brawling. ;)
P.S. How do u taunt with a wii remote in SSBB? I heard Snake's taunt can KO.
Personally I prefer Marth over Ike but maybe that's just because for some really random thing whenever I pick random I get Marth 4/10 times, and so I'm used to him. And Ike does really pwn, too... when he gets the Final Smash everyone runs from him like crazy. Yet it's still funny when you're the Ice Climbers and Ike happens to capture Nana instead of Popo and then Popo dies, Nana comes with him so Ike ends up killing nothing. One tip for avoiding Final Smashes: KO yourself if you know you'll be KO'd anyways so you can avoid giving your opponent the point. Also you can hide out on that little floaty platform for a while when you come back.
ReplyDeleteAnd also, my personal favorite is Kirby (used to be Link but he can't jump) but over the ages it's become tied with Meta Knight, Marth, Pikachu, Pit, and Toon Link. Lucario isn't really my favorite, but he's closer to my favorite list than my hate list (which contains Olimar, Peach and those other sucky guys).
P.S. With the Wii Remote you taunt with A, and for different taunts hold either the side, up or down. All of Snake's are the cardboard box, and it can KO on Sudden Death. However anyone can pull it off lol. Luigi can also KO but his is aimed more upwards then sideways. Both deals damage.
As to damage-dealing taunts: I remember that in Melee, young link (AKA: Toon Link wi better graphics) drank milk (oddly enough) as his taunt: the cork goes flying off of the bottle when you do it: that thing stung! lol
ReplyDeleteLon Lon Milk, wasn't it?
ReplyDeleteIf you're in for some Brawl comedies, go to www.brawlinthefamily.com
It's a website with 200+ Brawl comedy comics. Just so you should know, the artist girl in there is Adelaine and although she never appeared in Brawl she was in Kirby 64: the Crystal Shards. There was one comic with Lon Lon Milk, but I forgot which... lol.
That website is cool. I love the Kirby strips.
ReplyDeleteAdelaine's from the Amazing Mirror and Dreamland 3. Meta Knight is cool in the strips too.
The coolest taunt is definently Mario's. I mean, HE GROWS HUGE! WHAT COULD BE COOLER?!
it would be cooler if he STAYS giant but no, Sakurai absolutely has to have Kirby shine... lol
ReplyDeleteLon Lon milk is in comic #109.
ReplyDeleteTHAT PLACE IS SO COOL!
Yes, of course, Sakurai is so biased that he has to have kirby above all else.
Let's rethink that. KIRBY SHOULD SHINE ABOVE EVERYBODY ELSE!
hmm... now to come think of it, Kirby sucked in the original and Melee... in Melee he ranked 25 out of 26, next to Pichu. His hammer had more sourspots than sweetspots but no, Sakurai won't go for it and forced Nintendo to make Kirby shine. Lol.
ReplyDeleteAnother thought: Sonic's the only non-NIntendo character!
@Fizzy
ReplyDeleteO_o
Woah
Ive been promoted to Kirby Master??
Sweetness!
That was a gg btw
huh?
ReplyDeleteWhat Thinnie means is that I called him a master brawler with Kirby and he said good game on the Kirby-Lucario matchup when I won (see third comment).
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah, sorry for that Kirby, my train of thought is a little... jagged shall we say? XD
ReplyDeleteAh, I see. And Thinnie?...
ReplyDeletePS according to the Brawl match-up chart Kirby and Lucario are neutral... which is about the only thing they got right. ICE CLIMBERS HAVE AN ADVANTAGE TO IKE!!!
Ah, yeah, 'Thinnie' is my nickname, I guess...
ReplyDeleteAnd, what? Ice Climbers have advantage over Ike?? lololol
That can't be right, unless the Ice Climbers are on Summit. Ike is just to good...
ReplyDeleteNO! IT CAN'T BE! NOOOOOOOO!
Marth IS better than Ike, now that I look at it...
According to the official match-up chart:
ReplyDeleteMr. Game and Watch has an advantage over everyone but donkey kong, marth, meta knight, OLIMAR, Snake, and Toon Link.
Olimar is an advantage over Captain Falcon, Bowser, Charizard, Falco... oh what the heck... http://www.smashgamers.com/2008/05/brawl-character-match-up-chart/
you might want to enlarge the pic, though. Lol.
O_o
ReplyDeleteWow, messed up matchups...
No kidding. And if that's bad... you know how Ganon is last on Tier List? (Along with Link and Zelda, making the Triforce Tier, but anyways...) Well, Sandbag is definitely lower because I think the world record for the Home-Run Contest is made by Ganondorf. Anyways, I'm not a big fan of Link (fighter and games alike) but I don't think he deserves to be 36th on the list... Sakurai got it wrong, or whoever it was that made it. Lol.
ReplyDeleteOur world is messed up if we think that Link, an elf dude with a santa hat, is lower than a princess with a bad case of identity mistakes.
ReplyDeleteBut will you change your mind if I say this?:
ReplyDeleteLink wears ONE EARRING... on the RIGHT EAR. (Hint: if you didn't get that, Link is [something that rhymes with ray])
Yeah, I noticed.
ReplyDeleteRestricted cam at work. Like celebs, video game characters are never safe from the paparazzi. (I hate that song!)
I tried home-run contest for the first time and pwnd with ganon and luigi, unexpectedly. I used Luigi's "green missile" (side-b move) and sent the sandbag FLYING!
ReplyDeleteHow far? My best is Kirby (one hammer is 23% and one hit with the bat is 16%) with 1488.something feet. ARG!!! just 12 feet apart from that trophy!!!!
ReplyDeleteFYI, Link wears two earrins. Saw it meself in All-Star mode.
ReplyDeleteReally? On brawlsnapshots.com i got a very good view of both of Link's ears. In one of them he had nothing on his left, in the other he had something on his right.... hmm... i wonder if it matters because of the stage but both of them were on Bridge of Eldin..... hmm...
ReplyDeleteI'll get a crack at it this weekend. (Still, Link wearing any earrings is funny... I really wish Meta Knight had ears)
PS, I got that Home-Run Contest 1500 feet trophy with Snake. SNAKE!!! I was really surprised, and even more when I checked my overall standing and Meta Knight hit one of the least furthest.
