Lucario confirmed for Super Smash Bros. Brawl: Jigglypuff returns once again

A preview video of Super Smash Bros. Brawl posted on the official Japanese Wii site has revealed the inclusion of Lucario as a playable character in the game. Jigglypuff was also seen as a returning character.

Schweet.
I bet he'll be similar to Mewtwo in that Aura Sphere will be like his Shadow Ball.
 
The funny thing is, this wasn't even on the video on the site originally. In other words, it was added in. It was later attempted to be taken out, but it's still in there.

And personally, Ness' inclusion was the better part of the leak in my opinion. I was getting sick and tired of those Earthbound 2 fanboys saying he was taken out.
 
I actually hope Aura Sphere is different from Mewtwo's Shadow Ball. Shadow Ball wasn't really that useful. It was too easily dodged and it would kick Mewtwo back . . .
 
It would be awesome if it went faster than the shadow ball, and didn't have recoil.

I'll guess some moves...

B - Aura Sphere
Side B - Force Palm / Bone Rush
Down B - Counter (I hope. I love Marth and Roy's Melee counter, and if it came back on Lucario... He'd be my favorite character.)
Up B - Quick Attack

Final Smash - Extreme Speed

Because Lucario is practically the 4th Gen's mascot, I don't think this is a hoax. It says Ness was accidentally confirmed, and I kind of doubt that - but it's only because I don't know enough about Earthbound to think of new moves for him. (I hope he comes back, though. I don't like Lucas too much.)

Jigglypuff... nobody ever doubted that she would return.
 
I actually expect it's moves to be:

Standard: Aura Sphere
Forward: Metal Claw
Down: Detect
Up: Sky Uppercut
Final Smash: Focus Blast
 
I think that is possible, also the rumors say Lucario's up attack is Sky Uppercut. but to be honest, I wanted Lucario's moveset to be more like this:

standard special: Close Combat,
-opposite of the charge attacks, it has a medium close range, attacking on both sides (but top of head is an opening). You hold the special button and it attacks until "full charge" time in which it is left open to attacks for a short time. (Also the charge works similar to a shield in which it restores when not in use over time) Each hit does random amounts between 4%-7% damage per hit. [edit] forgot to say knock back is almost nonexistent, and can be combo'd with attack button moves.

Forward sp: Aura Sphere,
-a large ball at medium speed with minor homing (can curve once towards a foe in flight), moderate knock back (1/2 charged smash), and moderate damage (10%)

Down Sp: Counter,
- Only works on physical attacks, counters similar to Marth and Roy (and Ike) but deals double the damage that was suppose to be done to Lucario. It has moderately high knock back (same as marth and roy)

Up sp: Sky Uppercut, similar to sonic's homing attack, Mario's coin jump, and Captain falcon's Falcon hump (I don't know what it's called). It has a range of Captain falcon's jump for recovery, but adds a small bit more distance with a moderate homing distance. (maybe a few spaces over). The Attack also starts as the move is performed, like mario's jump. High Knock back, the length of a charged smash attack, and Moderately high damage, 15%

Lucario, himself should be a medium heavy-set character, between Link and Donkey kong.

Though for the rest, I am really happy to see Ness and the Jigglemister back, and I'm still waiting for Marth, Luigi, Mr. Game and Watch and Captian falcon to show their faces. I also want to see if they will Declone Roy, Falco, and Gannondorf, and see what they got.

Though, most of all I want to see Mewtwo return. No matter how you slice it, mewtwo is very different from Lucario.. They both can do psychic, but in no way can Lucario do Mewtwo's throws or other special attacks. (mewtwo, for me, was mainly a throw type character as it had the best throws in the game for melee) Now, there is a good chance mewtwo will be a boss in Brawl, but I'm really hoping he's playable.

Also, give us good pokemon stages! A Mysterious Dungeon Stage with the cool pokemon houses and the peliper-mailman dropping an item randomly on the stage would be cool to see, and appropriate for lucario. Then give us mount cornet with the battle of the Sinnoh gods interfering with the stage! (It'd be really awesome to see a platform get destroyed by a player only to be frozen in place by Dialga freezing time, or a chunk of the stage vanishing or moving from Palkia's spacial rend, and then Giratina sending a beam through the level directed at the other two.. even Arceus being time-locked or downloadable to be added to it. Then with the Legendary trio restoring the stage and trying to keep the peace) That'd be a truly epic stage... not Poke-floats two..

Serebii of all people supposedly said Mewtwo was axed from the game because too many fanboys complained he wasn't powerful enough, and as a Legendary Pokemon should have been able to "pwn" every other character in the game. XD
 
Pokemon Fanboys? Pft!
They should have been complaining about Pichu and Pokefloats, lol
(besides, I though the fans ended this dispute by saying it's a level 25 mewtwo or something... how else would it keep disable and confusion, lol)

I still think mewtwo can be pretty good if you practice... it is true that with multiple people he isn't as strong, but if you get someone one on one, you can dominate them. I've teased people lots of times by juggling them in the air. I know Serebii said something like that, but :p

They didn't seem to consider axing Gannondorf when there were similar complaints against him. (knock on wood) Anyways, I heard rumors of him being a subspace boss, though hopefully he gets unlocked as playable. In fact, if they only made him not slide after his attacks so much he'd be good enough already for competitions.
 
Where does it show Ness in the video?

EDIT: I saw it.

Yeah, because a twentysomething university student living in England would know this. FER SURE.

Eventually people will probably complain that Lucario is too underpowered. Consider his weight at 119 pounds, but then again, Mewtwo had very light controls and he weighs a lot.
 
I can't believe they actually put Lucario in it, and if he replaces Mewtwo I'll be pissed.

Great, a Pokemon from a now almost 3 year old movie gets put in Brawl while one of the most popular Pokemon from the RBY days (and still today) Mewtwo doesn't make it?

3 years, eh? Hmm... Would that not be the approximate amount of time this game was in development for? I wonder...
 
3 year old pokemon? You make out as if it is out of fasion. Lucario is pretty much DP's mascot and playing a new charicter instead of mewtwo sounds better than the same pokemon every game. What better/newer pokemon have we got to offer?

Remember Pokemon isnt nearly as popular these days so I doubt Poke-gods will be tearing the arena up. I dislike how because we (forum ppl) are all into pokemon everyone wants Super Smash Bros to be a pokemon dominated game. Yes im sure Mewtwo could destroy Mario anyday, but mario is more popular than Mewtwo.
 
I'd play as Lucario. A fighting/steel physical attacker in the game shoud translate pretty well into Brawl.

Seconded! We could all say we "knew about this for months" if anyone believed the rumors going around that were supposedly revealed by people from the company (with people believing them to be 99% true).

"We'll bring you more as its out" - gee, I thought you knew everything? :p

-----

LOL, anyways...

They are going to have to find some awesome way to use Lucario's Aura-guiding abilities. Perhaps to dodge attacks or something? I wonder what his final smash would be, considering that the only cool attack he really knows is Aura Sphere. Perhaps Super Aura Sphere?

All of the characters could dodge attacks in Melee, which shouldn't change in Brawl.

It's more than popular enough, and I haven't seen any pokemon fans make lists of dominating pokemon. (unless you mean like mewtwo being uber strong) Most have list of around 5-6 fighters (considering melee had 4), which is modest considering most fanboys feature lists of 7-8 Zelda characters, and 12-15 mario ones. Nintendo hardly ever treats pokemon like it's second best selling franchise (which it still is) in the first place. There is nothing featured in those levels that are a far reach from what they've done in other levels.. they've actually even done more in levels like Wario Ware and Animal Crossing's stages. They should just design a stage people would want to fight in, not stupid stuff they think people want.

(Which is why I get annoyed when non-fans add things like Misty, Professor Oak, and Raichu to their smash lists assuming that is what pokemon fans want. Yes we want another pikachu clone :p)
