An Average-Player Shulk Guide

Overview Reviews (3) Discussion

Pretty good. Just a couple things I would change. Jump Art does not increase knockback taken, just damage taken. Shulk's other throws do have their uses, especially back throw. In Smash, it's a more powerful kill throw than down throw, and it Buster it deals a hefty 18% by itself. Up tilt may just be the best anti-air in the game with it's massive vertical range and lingering hitbox. Down air is great for catching recoveries hugging the wall of the stage (Cloud, Falco, Shulk). Heck, even Shulk's dash attack is useful in some situations in Shield, Smash, and Buster.
But nonetheless, solid guide.

I made it in a hurry, with a challange set onto me, and yeah it can use some improvements and I will add some, I just have higher priorities with my current guide (which has taken about 50x longer than this one by comparison so far, and much more testing)

Taking Damage effectively changes the knockback you take and thus increases the knockback taken, as damage is directly a part of the knockback formula. I personally haven't found a use for many of the throws and they all are a bit slow, and Back Throw does have SOME uses but it's not my favorite. Didn't realize that it was stronger than Down Throw. Up Tilt is a nice anti-air but its not safe, which is my problem even though I absolutely love it. Last 2... Eh, they are more situational.

Thanks!

You give good pointers for a short amount of time put into making the guide. So as your guide's title suggests, I give it an average score no pun intended.

Thanks for Writing~

No problem. I honestly wasn't even considering putting it up since it merely was a sort of challenge I had for myself, but I completed it regardless. I put more effort into normal guides, but I just wasn't in the mood this time.

It's pretty ok for someone who did it in a hour and doesn't play the character.
Gives the basic stuff for a beginner before they do the advance stuff.
Solid
