Donkey Kong's smaller nephew is to enter Smash universe once again.

Another character will be joining the fight in the next Super Smash game.

Series director Masahiro Sakurai has posted in the Miiverse today, revealing the latest fighter in the upcoming Super Smash game.

Lucario is considered one of the most risky characters in Brawl due to its ability to perform massive damage but only with critical health - it seems this will still be the case.

Sakurai said "The heroic Aura Pokemon, Lucario, joins the battle!! We've increased the influence of Aura this time, so a damaged Lucario is truly a force to be reckoned with."
