That Aura Sphere looks so freaking beautiful!!!
Super Smash Bros Wii U & 3DS Thread 4: New Year, Old Arguments

I audibly said "WOW!"Pic of the day:
"A size comparison of Lucario's standard special attack, Aura Sphere, in its weakest and strongest states. The attack is faster and more powerful when the Aura Sphere is bigger."
So when Lucario has soaked up some damage and his aura is strong, he can charge up an Aura Sphere bigger than Bowser, and launch it faster.
That... has potential!

The complete upgrade to Lucario is great, I looked back at him in Brawl and he has a sort of semi-realistic look going on in Brawl but in this Smash he looks anime as heck.
Yeah, testing now. Even a fully charged Aura Sphere in Brawl is closer to the top image compared to that giant, Project M-esque Aura Sphere.
So between the "drastically" more powerful Charge Shot and now this. Sakurai is really buffing up projectiles, huh?
EDIT: maybe not.

Japanese Miiverse got an extra comment:
In addition, it becomes the notation "wave" in the "Pokemon" This volume, but take the agreed notation "-wave" in the movie as "Smash Bros.".

Lucario's Gokuism is getting stronger

That is a really big Aura Sphere! I wonder how fast it gets when Lucario's at maximum Aura? This Aura buff might be the most insane comeback mechanic to grace Smash Bros. yet.
Also, notice how the weakest Aura Sphere still appears to go completely straight. In Brawl it teetered up and down ala Mewtwo's Shadow Ball... but if they've taken that element out it would only serve to make the two Pokemon even less similar than they already were. Just food for thought.

Pikachu also looks different compared to his newer Smash 4 counterpart. They both now more resemble how they look in their games.

Damn that's a big size increase. And I'm also loving the new design of the aura sphere.
Lucario is looking to be a beast.

Id like to see the villager casually store that in his pocket.
Clearly he's saying that...umm...yeah I got nothing.

Um exCUSE me Sakurai but CLEARLY the best choice for Smash Bros would be my fav niche character HOWEVER you are clearly INCOMPETENT and
Aura Hadouken
Well-said. I'm really digging Lucario this time around, whereas in Brawl I was indifferent.
Pokémon XY also helped me to appreciate him more, due to his role in the story.

The only thing I can think of is Aura being called Wave/Wave Guiding in Japan.

Not really, the late pics never have anything that is specifically exciting.
Actually for a good 3 or so months the late pics almost always had something good, after that it dropped dramatically making us anticipate that something good would come out if its late but it turns out to be really nothing, with that said, today's pic goes against that.

I guess it has to be that big to take down huge characters that are yet to be revealed.

Lucario's aura spheres are nothing to fox tho.
What is Sakurai is trolling and Lucario's Aura Sphere can now only be done by doing Quarter Circle+B (Charge).
I guess that means Lucario won't get a super meter or a spirit bomb like he does in Project Mahvel.
One thing I really want in the new smash bros is a "Crew Battle Mode" to make crew battles a lot easier.
You choose team sizes, and each person chooses a character or something, then at the end of each battle you switch to the next person in the crew battle.

Has to do with the different names of the attack between the games and the movie in Japan, I think.

the Japanese comment btw
きょうの一枚。 ルカリオの最大ため時のはどうだん、波導最小の場合と最大の場合の大きさ比較。 大きさだけでなく、威力も速度も強まっています。

Sakurai with the blue balls. He knows.
Oh, lemme translate this...
"Roses are red... Violets are blue... Ridley is big... Hong Kong Phooey."
smh, Japanese
This is actually a very good question and it worries me.

but Shadow Ball sucks due to its trajectory
Mewtwo's Shadow Ball is still cooler to me, dammit! It makes you fly across the screen, for one.
Plus, you don't need to be on the verge of death, 3 stocks behind with your opponent laughing at your face for it to be powerful.
Honestly though, Lucario is looking like a far more dangerous opponent in a team battle situation compared to how amazing he already was in teams anyway.

Replace shadow ball with psycho cut.
This is such a great example of taking an existing character and helping them realize their potential as something unique both in gameplay and personality/presence.
Lucario looks and feels way more stylish now, with colors that pop in the new visual style and expressive facial animations that give him a great deal more character.
And now his whole "aura" comeback mechanic is being recalibrated so that the difference is as clear as night and day, with an Aura Sphere that at max power literally dwarfs Bowser in size, and apparently has higher speed.
I'm digging it. It's gold, Jerry!

It would be cool if Shadow Ball was completely sporratic, even fully charged, and unpredictable to time a shield or catch. But it's not random in direction, but like a multidirectional curve ball.

Way larger than Brawl's at high damage.

Can someone scale this picture with the pic of the day to make Lucario the same size so I can get an idea just how much bigger this aura sphere is?
For Brawl, it's around 170% with 2 stocks behind.
That's Lucario's max aura, if I remember correctly. You essentially have to be on the brink of losing the game.
170%
