Revealed:  January 31, 2014

The second piece of the Hope Triad (the first being Toon Link), Lucario has returned and stronger than ever. With numerous buffs as well as the introduction of his fearsome Mega Evolution, Lucario is definitely able to hold his own. Announced on the sixth anniversary of Brawl, Lucario's very inclusion is thanks to staff and he's definitely come a long since then. His aura has received a significant upgrade with his 3/4 of his specials revolving around his current aura power. If Bowser is the perfect example of a reboot of a fighter, Lucario is the perfect example of a refining. Prepare to face the aura.
