Heir to the Monado. Shulk General Discussion/Social Thread

[The Curious Volnutt]

My favorite scene is when

Spoiler

Zanza fights Meyneth, that guy was a legitimate threat and is easily one of my favorite villains of all time. [\spoiler]

 

[Hype Train]

Spoiler

My favourite scene is when Shulk returns from his coma or whatever you want to call it and starts kicking Telethia butt like a badass. So good.

 

[SkittleE]

Spoiler: Holy crap big spoilers right up through the events in the Mechonis core

My favorite scene is so hard to choose, but ones that stick out to me (I'm rating this on a scale of exactly how much I squeal during the scenes) are the first time around on Prison Island when the Monado is unshackled and Fiora is revealed to be inside Face Nemesis, right after the fight with Mumkhar when Egil inside Yaldabaoth swoops down looking gigantic, proclaiming himself to be leader of Mechonis and leading a force that looks far bigger than you feel you could ever hope to beat, and that whole section where Shulk doesn't kill Egil and makes a new friend, and then gets shot in the back by the aptly named Dickson, and then holy crap Zanza comes out and this massive battle between him and Meyneth and stakes are so high and Shulk is dead and everything is lost and aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. I'm sure I'm forgetting some scenes, though. Hot damn, I've been overrun with feels just remembering these scenes.

[collapse=My Favorite Scene]
"Living in Harmony"--that's the scene where Shulk spares Egil. It's powerful, it's epic, and it's the climax of the plot.

[collapse=My Favorite Line]
Your blade... it did not cut deep enough.

The delivery on that line and the timing of the music are just incredible. One of my favorite lines in all of gaming, to be honest.
[/collapse]

 

[Solfiner]

My favorite line: "Talk all you want... Because those words will be your last!!" while unfinished battle starts playing.

 

[GuyWithTheFace]

Well, I've already mentioned my favorite quote and scene, but some other favorites are...

Spoiler

D!ckson: I ain't gonna let you see me die. I won't give you the satisfaction of victory.
Melia: I have done nothing. This is your destiny. Accept it with dignity!
Alvis: I am Monado. I was here at the beginning, and I will proclaim the end.

And of course, the scenes that go along with those quotes. I REALLY loved D!ckson's death scene. Especially Shulk's reaction at the end of it. I mean, D!ckson might have tried to kill him, but he was also his father figure, and I feel like they capture that conflict in Shulk's mind well.

Oh, I'm so glad that Zelda knocked my arachnophobia out of me before I picked up Xenoblade

Idk, I've played tons of Zelda and that spider at the shrine still made me jump even in a second play through.

Also - I think I just realized the one place no one suggested as a stage for smash.

Spoiler

Fallen Arm. Although technically it has been because of a traveling Junks. On a side note, I love how much character development there is in that part of the game.

 

[Groose]

So, I ironed out my gif-making process. If you've got a quick Xenoblade moment you want a gif of, let me know.

Man, what a bunch of jokers!

Dunban vs Mumkhar would be amazing, though it is a spoiler.

 

[foolssigma]

Spoilers about Seven if they were in Smash Bros and some plot details:

Spoiler

I haven't heard much talk about this, but using a mech, specifically Nemesis, would be the perfect final smash for Fiora. The idea of Shulk using a mech hasn't been tossed around much, however its been for good reason since he neither rides in one nor becomes a face like all of the homs who end up using them. I'm still hoping for visions if they aren't incorporated into his move set somehow. Although, the Chain Attack idea works too.

 

[Spazzy_D]

Another absolutely gorgeous area! Just... make every stage Xenoblade themed. That'd be great.

Can't wait till we get to see Eryth Sea. That might be my favorite location in the game, but it's really hard to decide.

My favorite scene from the game might have been the reveal at the ending.

Spoiler

Alvis is LITERALLY dues ex machina. That's awesome.

I have seen that (I've completed the game, though not 100%), I'm just really here to post Chuggaa's videos and make brief remarks like this one in this thread.
EDIT: You used the wrong slash in your spoiler tag and it carried into my post ;n; use / instead of \

You asked, and you shall receive. Be warned, it's a rather large gif.

[Creo]

"Your blade. . . It did not cut deep enough."

Spoiler

I believe choosing just one character to be an overall favorite is quite the task, but if I had to, Egil would probably take my vote. I love his character.

Favorite scene? Hhmm. . .

Spoiler

Fiora's 'first kiss'? ;w; Ha ha (not really). That cutscene with Shulk and Dunban showing mercy to Mumkhar was pretty intense, as was the aforementioned scene of Shulk's forgiveness towards Egil. . . I remember most of the scenes, but a lot memory is kind of vague, so I'd probably have to go through them again to give a definitive answer.

You have finally realized your purpose in life. For that, you should be proud.

 

[DaDavid]

In spite of all the great moments in the game, I honestly have to say that the second you walk out onto the Bionis Leg is my favorite scene in the game and one of the greatest moments in my gaming history. Up to this point you'd been travelling in a pretty linear world, and to have it just open up like that, as animals roam both on land and in the sky as the fantastic music kicks in... it's just great.

 

[GuyWithTheFace]

I'm SO glad I made it there during the day rather than the night. That view is breathtaking.

[Neon Borealis]

So... Hi, I would like to join the Shulk supporters.

And, who do you think would make a good assist trophy?

Spoiler

In my opinion, Melia or Riki would make very good assist trophies. Especially Riki since we still don't have an AT who can poison or burn. Which is something he is very good at doing.

Spoiler

As for stages, I think that either Satorl marsh, Makna forest or the mechonis capital (name eludes me right now) would be very good locations. Eryth sea, Gaur plains and the fallen hand would also make good locations. The problem is there are too many great locations...

 

[MooseSmuggler]

I think the only character whose name we put in spoilers is Seven. Melia and Riki are mentioned on the Gamestop site and aren't typically considered spoilers, far as I know. Oh, and you can manually type the spoiler tags (just put the word spoiler between [ ] brackets to start, /spoiler in brackets to end]).

And yeah, Melia and Riki are good AT options. Basically anyone would be good.

 

[Cereal Bawks]

What about Mechonis? Just have it pop up in the background and destroy the entire stage, and then everybody loses.

 

[DaDavid]

Every time the AT conversation comes up I fail to settle on a single answer. I think... depending on how much Sakurai cares about spoilers it'll either be Reyn or Seven.

 

[Neon Borealis]

Or Riki. Cause he is so adorable (Japanese voice)/funny (English voice)

 

[DaDavid]

Riki could probably do a number of different things too.

Spoilers, there isn't going to be reluctance with spoilers.

 

[Jedisupersonic]

Coming in to say I love Xenoblade and Shulks chances.

I'd, like Dunban as the assist.

Electric Gutbuster!

Speaking of spoilers, isn't your avatar a spoiler?

 

[nessokman]

I feel horrible that I never got to play Xenoblade Chronicles. I can't find it anywhere below $80. Shame, I've only heard good things about it.



That being said, I FULLY support shulk, reps from smaller series are a must. He has some great potential.

If you have a gamestop at all, you can find it for around 50$ usually.

Born in a world of strife! Against the odds, we choose to fight! Blossom dance! Would make a pretty great assist imo.

I agree wholeheartedly

I just think Electric Gutbuster is the best RPG attack name ever so I have bias for it xD
