Heir to the Monado. Shulk General Discussion/Social Thread

[T.R "River"]

HOLY FLYING ****SNACKS. WHAT THE ACTUAL ****?!

Edit: Why aren't there any other videos on the channel? Then again, it's a livestream, so I don't think those are listed on the same technical channel.

?/??

I know right!? I was just looking through Miiverse and then just a random post with that link in it!

 

[Blaziken]

WAIT HOLD THE PHONE!!!!
I just found this on Miiverse!

Miiverse of all places!
Can't tell if it's fake or not o-o

It's a fake. It's a person impersonating the Smash Bros account.

 

[Banjodorf]

Bummer, man.

Unfortunately, this is most likely true The Hype was real for about 5 minutes.

 

[MooseSmuggler]

A Saturday reveal? That would be a bit odd, but maybe it's a response to an impending leak? I dunno. I'll make sure I'm present, at least.

Edit: figured as much.

 

[T.R "River"]

Nah, it's fake....my bad, I got really freaked out for a second there

 

[Banjodorf]

Though the thing is, I didn't think two Youtube channels could have the same name, which they do.

Could the fact that it's a stream have something to do with it being seperate?

No, if you go to the channel and click discussion, you can see that it's actually somebody's account where they just changed the channel name and deleted all other videos.... Major Bummer D:

 

[Hong]

Shulk Surprise.

I would love if they literally just dropped a reveal trailer out of nowhere just to prove they cannot be predicted.

I think since the Google takeover, display names are different from usernames. They probably changed their display name to Smash Bros., I assume display names can be identical since they're "real names".

Huh. Alright then. Also, if you got to Playlists, they have "let's play" videos, and some Toy Story 2 stuff. So this is a fake right here. Oh well, I'm still probably going to see what's shown, because it oughta be good for a laugh.

See, this kind of **** is why we need the real roster right now. Damn it, Sakurai.

The Hype is slowly dying! SHULK WE NEED YOU

I'm pretty much 99% sure Shulk will get into Smash. Everyone's citing the Gematsu leak's failure as the big reason why people should have doubts, but I still think the Gematsu leak has some truth. My personal theory is that Chrom was replaced mid-way through development because he was either too similar in appearance to Marth, or that there was the desire for more female characters.

Still though, Shulk has easily the most potential out of any newcomer to fit perfectly into Smash. I would be really surprised f he didn't get added, not to mention upset. He's a great character, and has brilliant voice work. (More British voice actors please!)

 

[foolssigma]

Hey guys, I've been on vacation so I fell far behind in the thread. Can someone please catch me up with anything that happened/whatever is being discussed now?

 

[Tailsluigi]

Last night, I had a weird dream that Shulk was in Super smash bros and it was either me or someone else playing as him for the Wii U.

Man that was a crazy dream...

Opps, I thought I say this when it's about supporting Shulk for Super smash bros.

Yeah, his potential is amazing. Do you want to get added to our support list by the way?

 

[Dunban]

Well we've kinda had a drought of information since the Robin reveal, but we've tried to discuss movesets and stuff...
You haven't really missed anything.
Oh that's right, we all have shades.

 

[ThatLunaticFeline]

Yes please! I don't think I've ever wanted a character in Smash as much I have for Shulk - maybe Lucario gets a close second though.

 

[Solfiner]

Yes please! I don't think I've ever wanted a character in Smash as much I have for Shulk - maybe Lucario gets a close second though.

Nice!

@BluePikmin11, new supporter to be added here! Man, we are really close to 400 right now.

 

[foolssigma]

Understandable, people are still waiting on the Coro Coro scans although I doubt those will yield much in regards to new information.

Ha, why does everyone have shades now?

Spoiler: About the shades

The shades started about three days ago, when I and @ Hokori came up with the Dorf patrol, because both of us really like Dorf and where hyped for his Hyrule Warriors appearance.

After that, I gave him a shaded Dorf avatar to match the GIF.

And then everyone wanted to join in on the fun, so we all have shades now.

Yeah, I don't think Corocoro has anything interesting left.

 

[ThatLunaticFeline]

The question should be "Why don't I have shades now?"

 

[BoxedCookies]

My lack of shades are Shulkful.
Been away for a little bit. Has there been anything new?

 

[a Link to the Forums]

Dem shades.

 

[Solfiner]

There hasn't been anything new or interesting, except for this:

Spoiler: Big picture

"Pic of the day. Victini and Xerneas are both support Pokémon. Victini's Victory Star boosts the attack of whoever throws the Poké Ball, and also prevents flinching. Xerneas's Geomancy increases the launch power of all fighters, but exceptionally raises it for whoever had the Poké Ball."

in the last few days. And the reason why that PotD is interesting is because stat buffs could maybe be implemented in Shulk's moveset.

 

[Dunban]

But yeah, it's been pretty quiet though.
Hope for #TrueMonadoTuesday though
Also @ BoxedCookies check your profile

So... Would anyone be willing to add shades to my avatar?

 

[Hokori]

To follow this up, to those that are interested, PM/Profile Post @ Solfiner , @TitanTeaTime, or @ Dunban for shades. As for joining the Shulk general social convo, you can PM/Profile Post me, @KingofZeroX, @ MooseSmuggler , or @ Solfiner for an invite.

Talk of information coming out is killing me since we haven't gotten anything just yet. Hell, even if it's the some information we already know, I just wanna see it

 

[TheFearsomeRyan]

I read that a Pokemon site leaked the leaker on accident and the leaker hasn't shown anything else from CoroCoro since. soooooooooo

Bulbapedia, apparently, who has been the source of controversy regarding their opinions on leaks previously. IIRC, they cracked down hard on X and Y leaks and have been flamed by the community ever since.

EDIT: I checked Serebii, and more scans HAVE been put up, regarding Pokémon still. It's entirely possible that we'll see something Smash related soon, but as the magazine if officially released in 3 days I wouldn't be worried if we don't.

I remember this person in Canada got X and Y early and started leaking everything then Nintendo got angry and actually went there to take their copies...
Nintendo don't like leaks.

I did an essay on this for my Media course, so I can verify that what actually happened was that Italian and Canadian game stores began releasing the games on the 1st of October and not the 12th, the intended release date. Nintendo then threatened to sanction these retailers by refusing to send games before their release date, but actually sent messages to British stores to release the games one day ahead of schedule.

It was an odd move, and something I discussed as a potential marketing tactic. Also, Bulbapedia isn't actually run by Nintendo, it's a fan site.

 

[MegaLagann]

Even outside of forums and the internet as a while I've been talking to friends and they're all getting antsy, wanting a new reveal. The whole world is waiting for you Shulk (Even if they say Ridley, King K Rool, Isaac or Goku they really mean Shulk).


EDIT: Also, guys unless Shulk is a Pokémon (don't bring up Shulkie) lets reel back on the Pokémon talk.

A lot of those feelings also have to do with the fact that Shulk has been anticipated for awhile now. He has been appearing on every leak, on everyone's roster prediction, the #MonadoMonday hype due to reasons we have already discussed...out of the big 3, Shulk arguably has the best chance of showing up as a playable fighter. 'The people' have been realizing this and are expecting him as well, so it's really just a matter on "When, Sakurai? WHEN?!"

 

[Gunla]

Well, do remember that Nintendo has a crackdown policy on leaks, and with Pokemon it's less strict because it just kind of happens and Pokemon comes nearly every year.

Smash is a much bigger deal and only comes around once every few years, so Nintendo's likely gone to extra levels to prevent the leakers/make sure the leakers omit Smash info before the magazine is officially released.

 

[TheFearsomeRyan]

I had been wanting Shulk in the game for quite a while and then #MonadoMonday ended up not happening and we got Robin (which is still really cool) but ever since then my hype for a Shulk reveal has been ridiculous. be still my beating heart

 

[Solfiner]

And don't forget that Sakurai seems to detest leaks, which is why he removed CGI cutscenes.

 

[BoxedCookies]

I have officially been blessed by the shades. Thank you :D

 

[MegaLagann]

Kind of the reason a part of me thinks every newcomer will get a reveal trailer. Why keep a character secret when it's going to get leaked out? Only problem with that is if that were the case we probably only got 2 newcomers left. I except Ridley and Shulk. The only other two newcomers I think we could get are a DK rep (Dixie being most likely) and a RH rep. But who cares about those jokas when you have Shulk.
