Lucario vs Donkey Kong

When playing Lucario against Donkey Kong, focus on maintaining distance to avoid his devastating grabs and side special, which can lead to early stocks if you’re caught. Utilize Lucario's Aura Sphere to zone effectively and punish Donkey Kong's approaches, especially when he's in the air, as his aerial mobility is limited. Be mindful of your positioning; staying near the ledge can make you vulnerable to Donkey Kong's back throw, so try to keep the center stage to control the pace. Use Lucario's quick dashes and aerials to create openings, but don't overcommit, as a single mistake can lead to a punishing combo from Donkey Kong.
