Heir to the Monado. Shulk General Discussion/Social Thread

[Vann Accessible]

Really hope HD Shulk looks good, these eyes scare me.

Hopefully he won't get the dead Palutena eyes.

Also, huzzah for Xenoblade music in Smash.

 

[praline]

It makes me proud to see how taken you all are to #MonadoMonday. It may just be me but I think #MonadoMonday should be in the topic title.

 

[Solfiner]

Come #MonadoMonday morning, I'm throwing all mellow, chill, relaxed, sane, rational, level-headed, etc feelings out of my being.
Come #MonadoMonday morning, I will barely show traits that are considered human.
Come #MonadoMonday morning, I will truly be alive.

Hahaha, this is starting to become a cult now. Sign me up!

 

[N3ON]

I do think we'll get Shulk on Monday, but you guys sure know how to get your hopes up for something that still could go at least two other ways.

Submit to the MonadoMonday hype train!

Submit to the MonadoMonday hype train!

It certainly is alliteration worthy of a small chuckle.
But that's about it.

Where's the fun without the hopes?

It's not like I'll be disappointed with the other two options either. (Although Chorus Chroms is no Shulk, still!)

 

[N3ON]

Hope bleeds into expectation and expectation turns to rage when its dashed, and then some of us are tasked with quelling the rage.

I don't think that''ll happen this time, but my hype is saved for the event itself. Unless we get Chrom. Then I'll be raging with all of you.
And not the good kind of raging.

I wouldn't be severly disappointed by them, however, as you mention "two choices" I really hate the fact that Gematsu kills all speculation. "What do you think: Which newcomers do we get?" "Shulk, Chrom, Chorus Men".

 

[Solfiner]

But that's about it.

Nah but seriously, I made a pretty good post about two pages back about this. I know that Shulk isn't guaranteed to be revealed, but most of us keep up the hype anyway because we have finally started to gain alot of support and more and more people have started actually expecting Shulk (Which most of us probably thought would never happen.) So this whole MonadoMonday thing is a great thing in my eyes, even though people may end up dissapointed.

Hey, like I've said, my rage has already been sated on the Mii Trio. Everything else is fine by me!

And even the Mii Trio turned out to be better than we thought. #CollectionOCD

True enough. At least I get to see Bill Cosby in tournaments.

Quoting myself. Pretensious much?

Seriously, I am more excited to see what Xenoblade song(s) play in the Shulk trailer, and the potential stage, than Shulk himself.

I find Shulk as a character to be as bland as bland can be. I only want him in so I can have my sweet music/stage. :D

 

[Solfiner]

I love how friendly this thread is! If people disagree about something it gets sorted out quickly, and there has been only one Shulk hater here afaik.

Yeah, talking here with everyone is pretty cool, especially when you hear the fantastic Xenoblade OST in the background. (Currently Satorl Marsh [Night]) I will certainly be here - more often than just now.

 

[Hokori]

Ha ha, I swear, Chrom gets no love in any support thread (except his own).

In other news, as hype as I am, knowing myself, I won't be getting worked up if the reveal turns out to be someone else for reasons I've already stated. Can't speak for anyone else though.

Ultimately, #MonadoMonday just gives us more to talk about and get excited over...pretty much need hype when it comes to support threads since that's basically its essence.

Shulk has had a fair amount of support this entire time for a character in his position with a game like his... and tbh I think it's more a case of people coming around to the leak than the individual characters it's comprised of. Though once they accept these newcomers we're inevitably getting and familiarize themselves with them, then yeah, their positions change. Expectation does wonders for a character's popularity, just look at the Chorus Men.

It also helps that Shulk is an easier pill to swallow than Chrom or Chorus Men. He was popular beforehand unlike the latter, and not as polarizing or from a series as filled with candidates many would rather have like the former.

Yeah, I agree. I just love how much activity there has been today.

 

[xLemmy_KoopaX]

I like Chrom. He certainly has something to work with. (More weapons than a sword because of reclassing, he can learn everything besides Dark Magic and Staves)

That is: Swords, Lances/Spears, Axes, Bows, Magic tomes (Fire/Wind/Lightning).

I will go to bed now though, It's already 4:30AM for me! See you all tomorrow!

 

[Mr. KoopaTurtle]

I remember when Sakurai tweeted this picture of Shulk's sword. This looks beautiful. I've literally just been staring at it for 5 minutes.

Perhaps this was already an omen for Shulk being playable?

In my honest opinion, I was very impressed with the facial expressions characters were able to make in Xenoblade Chronicles. Something that I felt was lacking in the demo I saw of Xenoblade Chronicles X. Hopefully they touch it up before release.

 

[Sheddy]

I think the important question here is that would Shulk get an alternate costume of him half naked?

swimsuit shulk confirmed

[StaffofSmashing]

So Shulk is the big thing because of the retweet?
Huh. Twitter is going to be the thing. But I'm still hopin' that my e-mail to Nintendo about Jumpman came through *crosses fingers and wears 72 Rabbit Feet*

[Solfiner]

More supporters...

 

[Cutthemac]

Heropon assist trophy?

 

[TumblrFamous]

If they announce Shulk with another veteran, it has to be another blonde, psychic-esque boy...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

 

[ZXMechonHunter]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the direct that the director's wife tweeted about the one with the gameplay for X? No Shulk, but it was still Monolith related. Maybe sorta givin' more justification to today'sretweetimeanidunno...

 

[Shroob]

Let's get this train out the station and get rollin'. This train's runnin' on ether, and we ain't stoppin' for Nopon.

2 characters from amazing games in one trailer? :O

 

[Shroob]

I actually like what @Fatmanonice said if there is to be a veteran in Shulk's trailer...

Namely, the Ice Climbers trying to climb the Bionis.

 

[Scoliosis Jones]

I'm just excited to see Shulk in HD. Once I see that, I will need to put on a new pair of pants.

I also wouldn't mind Chrom. I think he's going to surprise everybody. But that's not for this thread.

@BluePikmin11 Who's Cereal Bawkes?

Yeah, I think I know how BluePikmin feels now. Reading all of this hype is exhausting stuff. Still...
