Aura Sphere

Aura Sphere is Lucario's standard special move in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It is similar to Mewtwo's Shadow Ball attack used in Super Smash Bros. Melee, but differs slightly in effect and appearance. Lucario charges up a ball of energy, while causing damage to anyone who hits the ball. He can move while doing this, but he stops charging if the player moves, and Aura Sphere can only be used if Lucario finished the charge. Pressing the attack button will allow Lucario to fire the full-powered ball of energy. Unlike Shadow Ball, however, it travels in a straight line, rather than floating up and down, and speeds across the stage much faster than Shadow Ball. Its knockback is not as great, however.
