    Shulk is such an amazing and versatile character, with the Wii U version I improved greatly. Practicing with him has made me better at almost every character, it's amazing! Practicing FF Nair helped with a lot of characters that use this same technique, MSpeed helps me practice dash grabs with...

    Now that you kind of mentioned Diddy, what are good ways to deal with him? His bananas and gun, while grabable, still make speed trickier, and jump isnt exactly reliable since his air game is good and he could shield grab you. Buster would be hard to approach with but Nair could make it work...

    Is the item thing Shulk exclusive?

    Are there any other weird, potentially useful side effects from his Monado Arts? On another note, I'm not 100% certain on consistently doing a DACUS, do you do a dash attack amd immediately after do the up smash? Will Shulk's DACUS be any good outside of Speed mode? Would an up throw at higher...

    This seems situational, but do you know how much Shulk slides in Shield mode when he shields?

    It's just that people were talking about Bowser being killed at around 60% with HSmash and how with HBuster you can get to 50% easily, but I don't think that is a very good idea since Bowser is probably too heavy.

    Wouldn't Hyper Buster only be good against light characters because of its non-existent knock back? Using it at already high percents seems counter productive...

    What are goox secondaries for Shulk? Like, 1 or 2 characters that work with all of his bad matchups.

    OK so as soon as I replied to you about the thread not being unfollowed, it happenned to me too :/ Does the Nair mashing thing work even half way through the animation?

    I haven't had any trouble with it, that's prety weird though. Maybe you should ask in support or something.

    I assumed we were talking about being on stage since berserker said air slash and vision, and you definitely dont use vison off stage. Although, I definitely agree that nair takes too long from off stage, but onstage, fast fall to the ground and no matter what part of the animation you are in...

    That's the thing, Shulk definitely requires alot of patience, but I get you, especially after using rushdown characters for a while or being in speed or jump, its easy to forget. Although, is fair really that slow? I find it to be one of his easiest aerials to land. I guess you could try to go...

    Thanks alot, this is gonna sound like a stretch and it isn't a true combo but it has worked quite a few times for me, back throw at lower percentages to backslash. It sounds crazy, but what you do is you jump after them after the throw, so it would be: Bthrow--> jump towards opponent-->...

    Are there any true combos or almost certain combos with Shulk after throwing or after nair-->jab 1, 2, 3?

    I don't think vanilla Shulk has been talked about enough, although I assume you could probably handle it similarly to buster since the mobility is the same, but maybe a little more aggressive since the knockback and hitstun are greater than buster. The damage output isn't horrible either...
