Heir to the Monado. Shulk General Discussion/Social Thread

[Banjodorf]

I don't know who this "Riki" is, but I know it ain't Shulk so I'm going to say no.

If you really want to know:

Spoiler

He's one of the party members. An incredibly innocent and hilarious Noppon (the furry race of merchants on Bionis) and he has alot of memorable lines and interesting weapons. Here's a picture:

 

[Spazzy_D]

No one should assume they are on the support list unless you actually tagged @ BluePikmin11 .... the opening post in this thread wasn't updated for about 100 pages or so.

 

[BluePikmin11]

 

[Snagrio]

And the protagonist isn't your typical JRPG world-saving-hero cut-and-paste.

Not that I really hate that, anyway. Most JRPGs have lots of merits regardless of their protags, but Shulk got excellent characterization in addition to the other merits of the game.

@ Snagrio I feel you about Palutena, but for Shulk, I'm just so interested in seeing Xenoblade content, the character itself, and how he's going to even work in Smash 4 that I can't help but be hyped.

Palutena I pretty much guessed all that correctly in advance (even, it seems, her playstyle), but Xenoblade is a new series for Smash altogether.

Very true, and again I'm sure I'll gain some excitement later on. In fact like you said we have no idea how Shulk will look or play unlike Palutena. Heck, you've rejuvenated a little hype for me, so thanks for that. Go Shulk!

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

Well i have some good news it's looking like shulk as the guy

Quite a few xeno developers tweeted this monday thing.

But remember we can't predict the man. So it can still be anybody.

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

This soundtrack gives me the chills. Any good songs?

 

[Hokori]

It's probable that we'll see a Xenoblade stage along with the trailer right?

Hasn't every newcomer revealed so far shown up on their stage/stage that is relevant to their game?

Even if we may know that *insert Gematsu-leak character here* is on his way, it's always great to see them in action sooner than later. And there's also the suspense in seeing how they play like and what their move set is like etc. In Shulk's case, there's also the fact that we'll see him in full HD glory, which is something I personally look forward to (maybe the most of anything related to him haha) as the character models in Xenoblade Chronicles were a bit... iffy.

 

[CheeseBroJoe]

I don't know who this "Riki" is, but I know it ain't Shulk so I'm going to say no.

I'm assuming since you don't know who Riki is that you haven't played xenoblade yet, and if that's the case.... DO IT. You won't be dissapointed. I was only joking about Riki though.

 

[Gunla]

@ Hokori
We shall likely see a stage, yes. Perhaps Sword Valley? It seems fitting to me.

Yes!

I don't know who this "Riki" is, but I know it ain't Shulk so I'm going to say no.

This is the scene where you meet Riki. It is fantastic. (Small spoiler)

@ Hokori

Yeah, that's what I'm expecting. Shall be my most frequented stage alongside Fire Emblem stages due to being a fanboy for the series and that music. Competitively viable or not, nothing is stopping me.

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

What do you think his intro music will be?

 

[Banjodorf]

Oh boy! Finding Xenoblade songs for people is my favorite game! Let's start off with my absolute favorites!

You Will Know Our Names (Unique Monster Battle Theme) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4vCEHpv6Hg

Those are just some though, and honestly every theme in this game is amazing.

You Will Know Our Names seems like an easy (and excellent) bet to me.

[ZXMechonHunter]

The hype can only grow. As MM (Monado Monday) approaches, when the trailer is shown, when we see clips of his moveset...then we get our own sub-forum.

Lawd, my dreams of co-maining my two greatest Nintendo loves of Ike (Fire Emblem) and Shulk (Xenoblade) will finally come true.

Somebody hold me T~T

shhh, shhh, it's okay, Shulk's time is soon.

Holy ****, how could I forget!?

See, there's just too many good songs some of the epic, epic ones can slip by.

Engage the Enemy/Confrontation with the Enemy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAW4xlbyu28 (Pretty much the "Important moment" theme.

[CheeseBroJoe]

I'm personally hoping for a stage based on Satorl Marsh at night to be revealed along with Shulk. Even with the Wii's limited capability in the graphics department it was still one of the most beautiful locations I've ever seen in a game.

 

[Staarih]

I don't know if it's just me, but You Will Know Our Names, as excellent as it is, doesn't really do it for me. There's just something about it that sounds too generic, as in "well here's epic music but that's it". Haha, that's weirdly put. I'd like Shulk's trailer to have a sort of feel to it, some building up and then hype overload. The Palutena trailer was really good music-wise and how the music was used in different parts of it.

Engage the Enemy is definitely one of my favourite tracks, but it may be a bit slow for a trailer sequence... unless it's for an epic build-up scene which then converts to something more catchy and fast-paced. I also really like Unfinished Battle. Damn, all the music in Xenoblade Chronicles is so good, I should be happy with anything!

Heard most of these already! Just haven't heard the last 2.

 

[TheDMonroeShow]

Heya shulk supporters, I don't post in the character discussion threads to much but I just wanted to drop in and say i'm routing for you guys to get the reveal monday. Ever since I started watching chuggaconroy's LP I've been really excited about the possibility of shulk being playable, he seems like a really cool character. So here's hoping!

 

[Solfiner]

Heard most of these already! Just haven't heard the last 2.

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

Is Xenoblade's composer helping with SSB4?

 

[Banjodorf]

Oh! Colony 9! (Day and Night both) are excellent too.

Pretty much all the music in the game is enough to make a sane person moist.

@ Rocket Raccoon I wouldn't be surprised, but honestly I have no idea. MSoft has done alot of miscellaneous stuff with Nintendo since 2007.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Just a remind that we actually beaten Palutena's army of supporters by 1!
Can we beat K. Rool's possibly? Possibly?!!!

 

[Hokori]

Good lord....35 people are viewing this thread in anticipation of Shulk's reveal...I love you guys.

We'll be jam-packed in here come #MonadoMonday. Well, in our new Shulk sub-forum (as I am still proud to say)

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

Just a remind that we actually beaten Palutena's army of supporters by 1!
Can we beat K. Rool's possibly? Possibly?!!!

How many supporters does K. Rool have?

 

[BluePikmin11]

How many supporters does K. Rool have?

BRB I'll go check.

 

[Spazzy_D]

@ BluePikmin11 make sure you go over the last 3-4 pages to look for supporters... some like @ Snagrio have mentioned being supporters but have not tagged you and I have not seen them added.

 

[BluePikmin11]

375 supporters K. Rool has... welp.. I don't think we can make it in 3 days to actually beat K. Rool.
;-;

 

[Banjodorf]

I wish Chugga was here. I'd like to thank him for his part in increasing our supporter numbers by quite a bit!

 

[Skyfox2000]

Here some Codecs I found for Shulk.
Mei Ling: Snake, are you familiar with the Chinese proverb, "Try to save the dead horse as if it is still alive"?

Snake: Never heard it before.

Mei Ling: It means to try to do the impossible, because it might actually be possible. No one has a better understanding of this than Shulk.

Snake: That boy with the weird sword?

Mei Ling: That's the Monado. A sword which grants its user incredible power rivaling that of a god. His world was threatened by an evil race of machines called the Mechon, and civilization was nearly eradicated. But no matter what happened, Shulk and his friends never lost faith that they would triumph. Even when all hope seemed lost, and defeat appeared to be inevitable, Shulk never gave up. Kind of reminds me of you, Snake.

Snake: Seems like a good kid. A shame we fight on opposing sides.

Mei Ling: Don't take him too lightly. The Monado gives him the ability to see into the future. On his quest he was able to use the ability to avoid his opponents attacks.

Snake: An opponent who can read my attacks? I've dealt with this before. I think I'll manage.

How bout we search for users who have Shulk in their signatures, tag them for me if you can.
