Charizard vs. Lucario Project M tiers, match-up votes and discussion

I play this match up a ton against Handsome Jack. It's in Lucario's favor imo, but not by a lot. Zard's big which makes Lucario's combos slightly more brutal. Also Lucario's fair stuffs a lot of Zard's aerial options because it's fast and very disjointed. The main issue in this match up for Zard is that if Lucario recovers high with a down b canceled aerial, it's a free recovery with no chance of an edgeguard. He's invincible with a hitbox, so if he times it to get to you right as his aerial comes out, it's impossible to even trade with him. The second hard thing is that Lucario kills with side b meteor/spike off stage often, which helps to negate the relevance if Zard's otherwise very good recovery. It's not a terrible match up for Zard though, because Zard wins the neutral game when Lucario doesn't have aura, and he can edge guard Lucario fairly well when he comes from low (invincible bair/dair from ledge work well since you can react to the startup of Lucario's up b).

I agree. This matchup is 4/6, nothing more, nothing less.
