Top MN Lucario
Well, now that the college is about to start winter break, it seems like I will be without maverick smadh & boxing rings to attend to for a bit. So during this time, the main focus I will have is to better understand how I play Lucario into my competitors.

Remember when I said I just needed to beat a top 4 player?
Well, I did it, but it didn't really lock me into top 5.

Looking at the MNSU Calendar, ot looks like I just need to out pace Enigma for 5 more tournaments to stay top 5, but otherwise I should be good as no one close is coming again. ...

I got out at 9th sadly, which means my main hope for getting top 5 this PR will come down to if I can beat anyone in top 4.

It's possible, but it is a little ways off to have a solid chance to get there.

We'll have to see how far I need to climb back up to get #5 after this tournament.

Special thanks to Tegnar for getting these top 8 graphics created :D

Some of you might have noticed that PenguinPro got passed by myself from my last post and this is the tournament is what caused it.

Listen, getting good at something isn't an easy task and will have growth pains. For myself I worked hard to be at where I am today. ...

So we had one of the more stacked tournaments yesterday & I was able to do well being able to place 4th. This also helped get me to 5th place on the PR board. With that said, I'm going to have to find a way to overcome Spitz if I wish to keep that spot for long.

WWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

I attendanded Forge Fighters #29 yesterday & got 9th, grtting knocked put by Griz Hawk, who placed 2nd in the tournament overall.

It was fun playing new people & showed me areas I can improve in (approaching and mixing up my options in the air)

I'd like to congradulate Eevee Classic upon getting top 8 for what I believe to be the first time in a ranked setting.

Anyways, I'm somewhat happy with my preformance here, I just need to get better with my apporachs and stage control for now.

According to SCHU stats, I'm a top 100 Lucario Player.

Let's go.

I'll have to see how much farther I can take my gameplay

I got 7th at Boxing Ring #6.

I haven't been playing the best as of late and I think its starting to become apparent to me that it's an internal issue rather than an issue with my skill.

I just need to find the ability to focus while playing again.
October 29, 2025 at 1:24 AM
Starting off in the smash scene, I wanted to just make top 10 PR, so my goal was to get top 8 or at least 8th or better each tournament. Now that my goal is top 5, 7th is no longer good enough; *heck*.

So moving forward, I really need to start getting top 4 or better ...

I got second at the Boxing Ring.
It was for sure a rough royte as I got knocked into Losers during WR2, but I made the comeback going through 1nfn1te, Silivier & Blazehero before ending my run against Art's Falcon.

The screenshot was a close trade that got be to game 5 against Blaze.

Ggs y'all.

I should get a good pfp at somepoint, but this old fureona artwork will have to do
October 18, 2025 at 12:13 AM
I got 3rd at Boxing Ring #3 and my match against Art feels like its winable.

It's going to take some work & I'm going to need to fail alot more to see what I need to work on, but I'm confident I can do it.

At this point I should just focus on vod review, as surely playing the game isn't too useful

Good Morning Smashers, I' happy to announce that I got second place at my local today.

My path to second was a decent challenge throigh loser's bracket. I 3-0'd Ooq with solo Lucario who otherwise has a 100% win rate in that MU. I 3-1'd Silvier, which is an improvement from losing 2-3 last time.
October 6, 2025 at 9:02 PM
I'd like to thank funnyman for going out of their way to give me a really cool pfp for the top 8 graphic.

As with any tournament, my goal is to be best as opposed to just trying to win, so I am saddened that funnyman had to DQ near the end due to ...
October 4, 2025 at 7:09 PM
I only got 9th this last tournament (don't worry, I'm sti top 10 on PR so the dream of making top 8 on the PR is still alove, I just have catxh-up work now).

Getting matched into Evergreen in top 16 after an uoset from Reynolds was for sure surprising, but I for did get a lot of insight on how ...
September 29, 2025 at 5:47 PM
After some clean up work this weekend I got 5th place at Maverick Smash but on a different day.

I still think its a lil funny that I got credited as mewtwo when 1 out of my 14 games played was with mewtwo (the rest was Lucario) ;)
September 26, 2025 at 2:13 PM
I got top 8 at the most recent ranked Maverick Smash, let's go.

Now, I need to set my goals to overcoming the ussualy 5th place finishers.

(and maybe do some aura farming at tournaments to be on brand for a Lucario main /jk)
September 21, 2025 at 9:16 PM
I got 9th last tournament and I got 7th this one. Let's go.
I'll try to get some more practice this week to climb up the rankings some more for the next tournament in 2 weeks.
September 14, 2025 at 4:53 PM
4th place let's go

I'd like to give a specific shout-out to the Cobalt Core Modding community for helping get a large part of my mental back, which played a role in me returning back to my old skill level.
April 28, 2025 at 10:41 PM
I got upset by Sarge, but I'm confident I can make the redemtion next week.

Still top 4 is decent.
March 4, 2025 at 5:44 PM
I brought my plushies to support my team in our crew match today
February 20, 2025 at 11:58 PM
I got top 8 at my local smash event last sunday---Yipee.

I guess I'll have to work harder to win one of these one day.
