Dojo update: The Pokemon ranks swell



The 31st character to be revealed on the dojo might not be who you expect -- go past the break for the full, spoiler-filled lowdown.



Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Squirtle, Ivysaur and Charizard won't be the only playable Pokémon appearing in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Today's update reveals that Lucario will be joining them as an unlockable character, and will bring a unique style of its own to the Brawl roster.

Interestingly, Lucario becomes more powerful as it takes more damage, thanks to its mastery of "Aura." This effect is capped once damage reaches 200%, but the difference it makes is still obvious; a heavily damaged Lucario, for example, will be able to generate far larger (not to mention faster and more deadly) Aura Spheres than when unhurt. Its Final Smash, Aura Storm, sees this humanoid Pokémon taking to the air and blasting an Aura beam across the stage in the direction of your choosing.
