Lucario - Inner Fire 7

Enjoy the Tournament Video Break? Hope you studied up and looked for how I applied what we've learned so far.

Today is the ledge and Psuedo-Sticking. The Compilation thread on smashboards calls it B-reversal or something boring like that. In case you still don't understand it, it's Hitting the special button, and then IMMEDIATELY(like.. almost simultaneously) press the other direction. B-sticking Lucarios will have an easier time of this and will achieve a different, more pronounced effect.

Don't let them back up on the edge!

Sphere LedgeHop (SpLH?) facing forwards is hitting forward instead of backwards. Practice with both directions.

If you miss the ledge, you still have Aura Sphere's hitbox to nick them and give you some time. Just airdodge and focus on getting back on the stage.

Bleh I type too much sometimes, one last thing: I've actually never used the b-sticking control scheme before so think you could explain for someone who hasn't?

[InfiEphe]

B-sticking means that you set the C-Stick on the Gamecube controller to Specials instead of smashes. That's all it is. It allows you to do 5:28 super easy.

I gotta say, this series is by far the most help anyone has done for me in trying to get better with Lucario. Smashwiki led me to your text guide, that led me here, and I can already feel my game with Lucario getting better <3

I've mained him since the game was released in North America, so I've already known a lot about his style, like his two Reverse specials and such but... Around 5:28 or so, I've tried that a few times and can't do it... I'd love to learn how, lol. Awesome series, Milln!

[InfiEphe]

Thanks. =3

I'll explain it best as I can.

Say you're moving left/facing left: In quick succession, Jump, Flick the stick to the right, Press B, flick the stick to the left. It's gotta be done really quick. You can hear the taps in the vid.

[Ikaru14]

Ah, gotcha. I see what I was doing wrong then; I went by aforementioned tap sounds, and pressed B and then flicked both directions immediately... Oops.

Just finished watching 11 and gonna try that Extremestop/shift stuff next. Realize the series is sorta old, but still pretty helpful. Entertaining too, love watching stuff with fun commentary. Don't have many friends irl to play against for now though, same boat as you lol.

[InfiEphe]

ExtremeStop and ExtremeShift are nigh useless unless you're playing Brawl+ XD ExtremeHog is great, though. The series is great for a refresher on the basics. Also, i've got some friends now. Started going to tournaments and found a group that plays regularly.

[Ikaru14]

Oh nice, everyone I know is a PS3 or 360 fanboy, no Wii for them. And yeah, ExtremeHog I actually knew about before but forgot about entirely, lol. Also, managed to pull off the pseudo-sticking thing, I had to slow down the time in training; I started at 1/4 and can do it relatively easy at around 2/3 now, so thanks again XD

For some reason (not on wifi) but i can use weird combos with tap jump on instead of off, plus having it off allows me to use Up B :/ on every other character i use i don't use tap jump or it screws up my Up tilt, then again i suck with tilts i need more training on those -_-

[InfiEphe]

Why would you need it off? I don't understand. =O

[Zyro71]

6:00 That is another pain in the ass move to pull off, i only did it once, also if you have time, awnser me this. For lucario you must have ap jump on, like the original settings for controllers right? you can train with it off but it wont do any good since you need it on im asuming.
