I actually met KwamStacks by chance on For Glory. And I have to say, we had some pretty hype matches. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Wh_YcJdb6_Y Though, in these few matches I got bodied.

So the new official tier list is out, and Shulk is still in G tier. 44th overall. Can't say I'm surprised, given Shulk's low representation and results. I still stand by my opinion that, when played to his full potential, Shulk is a solid mid tier, possibly in D tier with Peach, Rob, and...

Playing a safe neutral game goes a long way against these characters. Jumping in and nairing every time isn't going to cut it with any character in any game. You have to predict what your opponent is going to do and punish accordingly. You also have to stay within that happy zone where you...

Well, I don't really have any advice to give about learning habits against faster characters (except maybe playing against them more), but I can give you some tips on some of those matchups. With Sheik, playing safe is a necessity. You also have to realize that Sheik has the potential to pull...

Essentially. Darkwolf is easily my favorite Shulk to watch. His MALLC game is always on point, and he isn't at all afraid to go offstage to use Shulk's great edgeguarding tools. He goes in, much like I do.

My generally gameplan is to MALLC a safe back air on shield whenever Shulk reverts back to his vanilla state and play in that Art for its duration, most generally Speed. TANGENT INCOMING: Speed is the go-to Art in neutral in my opinion, as you do not take any defensive nerfs. Jump and Buster...

Spot on, Aarrow. I find that when I do not remember to actively play Shulk's neutral game, my results are significantly worse. This can get REALLY frustrating, as when I play other characters I can rely on an easy, seemingly effective yet not optimal strategy (such as always going for grabs...

Well, it's been a while since anything has happened here. RIP Shulkboards, lol. Well, I figured out how to add custom music to Smash 4. After screwing around with it back in my days of PM, I was delighted to find out that it's finally a thing in Smash 4. It also relatively simple. This video...

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HmoiJeG7pC0 Here's a nice Rosalina matchup video that Jerm did a while back. It's admittedly dated, but a lot of the info still rings true.

The biggest problem with Shulk is his frame data. I would say a frame 3 jab would greatly aid Shulk's up-close-and-personal game. Also a 5 frame reduction on the startup of his nair and fair (which I believe are currently frame 13 and 14 respectively) would also be amazing. Personally, I...

Uh... Rosa?

You want some custom combos? Look right here, amigos/as. The "Almost" Combo: https://youtu.be/9jJX_1PRFRo?t=1m57s I lost here, but the opening combo was completely worth it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_KYkg1Yuyc Here are some forward airs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHqRRexwVnI This...

I beg to differ about Shulk's combo game. It is true that he has very little true combos, but some of the ones he does have are devastating, particularly in Jump art. FF nair -> fair -> is a true kill combo in Jump art at around 60%. It is also pretty easy to pull off. It's landing the...

This here diagram from the good folks at reddit is fairly effective in displaying all the effects of the Monado Arts, but it does have some flaws. For one, Jump Art does not decrease your knockback defense. In reality, you can actually sometimes survive vertical attacks in Jump mode because of...

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I very much preferred the original Xenoblade Chronicles soundtrack over X's. ACE, Yoko, and the other composers did an incredible job of capturing the style and the scope of the original Xenoblade Chronicles. Really, I preferred the fantasy-meets-sci-fi...
