Heir to the Monado. Shulk General Discussion/Social Thread

[GuyWithTheFace]

There's literally no Xenoblade content in the game yet, and I wonder why that is. There's a Rhythm Heaven enemy, which was already surprising, but like, no Mechons, or anything? D:<

Oh, there IS Xenoblade content in the game, we just haven't seen it yet.

the biggest thing to me that is 100:% proof of shulk being in is as said the lack of any xenoblade news I mean RH has the sneaky sprits but it is not on the same level of popularity as Xenoblade is

As I've said before, the difference between Xenoblade and Rhythm Heaven is in the genres of games. RH has no central character, so it could very well be represented by an enemy or item without needing a playable character.

Basically, with Rhythm Heaven, it could be a few enemies and items, and even a stage here and there, but with Xenoblade, it's difficult to imagine it getting some enemies or an item without Shulk. And Sakurai knows this, hence, we have yet to see whatever XC content is in.

 

[ZXMechonHunter]

Even that arguments invalid. "Haven't seen anything Xenoblade related" is in fact a good thing. I feel like if Shulk wasn't in, we'd know by now. We've literally destroyed every argument against Shulk and are just waiting for the inevitable reveal.
now watch him get AT'd tomorrow

Exactly Sakurai knows how huge the xenoblade fanbase is (thanks to Project Rainfall) and he knows people would be really pissed if a xenoblade enemy or item or stage got in but not shulk so he is holding all the xenoblade content back till shulk is confirmed

 

[TheFearsomeRyan]

yeah it's like pac man, we saw nothing referring to him before he was announced and now we have him, two stages, and possibly the ghosts as on assist trophy.

well their was the special flag

 

[TheFearsomeRyan]

well their was the special flag

that was a namco thing tho, not a direct pac man thing.

 

[Sheddy]

we shulk fans might be patience but even we have our limits sakurai come on already if shulk is not the next character announced I'll be convinced he's a hidden

 

[MASTERLINKX]

Y'know who I miss?
@ MASTERLINKX
His visits were scattered, but upon them we were blessed with wondrous things

I'm always here, I just don't bother saying anything.

 

[ZXMechonHunter]

He lives!

 

[Sheddy]

HE'S ALIVEEEEEEEE!!!!1

 

[TheFearsomeRyan]

Speaking of the special flag it's finally been fully explained. No character deconfirmation today.

Spoiler

 

[Oracle_Summon]

HE'S ALIVEEEEEEEE!!!!1

Of course he is alive, did he not say earlier how his Shulk is going to be better than ours?

He is probably calculating the best way to do that as we speak.

If this is not Bionis Leg what is it? I don't mean this to be rhetorical even though it sounds like it. Is it from Kid Icarus or something?

[T.R "River"]

Wow, I honestly love the Special Flag. I might start playing serious matches with Special Flags on Low with all other items off. Adds a new level of depth to matches.

While we're on the topic of Smash Run, Maybe it's just because I think i've saw or thought I saw a mech in Smash Run, but is it just me or do the Mechon like REALLY fit/blend well with in Smash Run?

Also, I have to go re-name my Shiny Honedge.

You could use Sharla's Japanese name, Carna, for some more.
Carnavanah, Carna-vine.

I think it looks like the ruins area from Smash Run. Players CAN interact in Smash Run. It was notably also brought up under 'there are other things to do'.

I've been thinking of doing something like this for a Pokémon team. Not just for the name puns, but maybe there would be elements of some Pokémon that'd fittingly represent a character. Even if the team had no synergy whatsoever, it'd be fun.

I call my Mega Agron Metal Face xp, plus Mega Tyranitar & Gallade resemble the Bionis imo

Mine's called Metal Face too! Almost called my Heal Pulse Clawitzer that accompanied it Sharla/Gadolt. Instead went with a Pikmin reference.

Aren't we always?

We aren't too far off-topic, I think. We were talking Smash Run a couple comments prior. For which I'll say, yes, fairly sure it's generic Smash Run area.

The idea is cool, but I only think we'll see the Monado as his weapon, else you're not going to see any Monado Arts as his Specials.

Not the Junk Sword, but I'd love to see a few costumes where he wields the...

Replica Monados.

 

[Spazzy_D]

At this point were all just recycling conversation, I posted this moveset back before the MonadoMonday kicked in, and I would like some opinions now that we have more than 400 supporters to look at it:

I'm not sure I enjoy the Monado Arts giving straight buffs. Seems like a boring implementation. I also feel like if you are choosing between 4 or 5 "super moves" then at least one should help his recovery. His nuetral special should be battle soul if he doesn't have a full gauge. Taking damage in order to build up the gauge seems like a nice strategic trade off.

 

[BluePikmin11]

How would Battle Soul work, it literally halves the damage of Shulk's HP, in which the mechanic doesn't translate well in Smash. Will there be a set self-percentage like maybe 50% or will he get double the percentage he currently has?

I woulf not think it'd do 50% I think it'd be somewhere betweeen 15-25%

Honestly, I don't see an ability that hurts the user getting into the game. Not after Pichu and the immense failure it was.

Aside from Bionis' Leg, what do ya'll think would make a good Xenoblade Chronicles stage?

Pichu was meant to be trash, though. Literally a joke character.

We had Roy and Ike who could damage themselves, as well.

Marshmallow Samurai could easily give us Battle Soul and Light Heal. unlikely, but not out of the picture?

 

[Capybara Gaming]

Tragic Decision?

Personally I think Mechonis Field would be the best.
