Lucario doesn't have much range in the air. On the ground, he might have range and lingering boxes, but aside from Up-tilt they all are extremely narrow hit boxes. He also falls extremely slow making him susceptible to being attacked and juggled in the air. Just don't come up on him from directly below him or bait the D-air before going in. He's KOed easier off the top then the sides.
His smashes are all pretty slow to come out comparatively, so shielding them shouldn't be problem. His Up-B does no damage and has a big stall at the start making edge guarding against it a cinch compared to some characters. Double Team is just the saddest counter in the game.
Beware his jab, as he can do a double jab then cancel it into the Forward-B Chaingrab or a Foward-B Grab for a KO.
When he's low in damage, he can't KO for crap and when he's high in damage his combo ability dies. Gimping him once can royally screw up the rest of his game.
Snake is far more threatening then Lucario.
