Edit: Wait. Counter still says 199. A little help here?

My hype counter is OVER 9000!!!, and my body's ready! Just takin' a little nap, and then it's REYN- SHULK TIME! Probably.

BTW I really have 400 Likes now. Woohoo.

I'm pretty hyped! But, I won't hype myself too much to save myself from disappointment if Shulk isn't revealed tomorrow.
Hopefully the Monado will lend us its power and reveal Shulk tomorrow! Come on!

Likes are what makes the world go round.

Oh by the way, I drew this a bit earlier just for fun.

I always tend to draw whatever is in my mind, in this case, Shulk and ballpits lol.

 

[Bebe Mignon]

Been lurking this thread since around the time before E3 started. This thread is the main reason why I got Xenoblade Chronicles, which is an amazing game so far! Possibly my favorite game of all time!

Therefore, Shulk gets my support! Please add me to the support list.

Okay, one last thing before I go to bed. If there is a Shulk trailer tomorrow, I hope that it starts off with Engage the Enemy and switches to You Will Know Our Names right after they reveal that the new challenger is indeed Shulk.
Why? Well, the former is my favorite song from the game and one of my favorite songs in any video game ever, and it gets me pumped as soon as I hear a single note of it. The later is the most popular song in the game, and I'm sure that it will do for everyone else what "Engage the Enemy" will do for me. Also, the combination of the two is epic; I love how cutscenes usually start out with the epicness of "Engage the Enemy" before switching to the energy of "You Will Know Our Names" for the battle sequences; it would be really cool if the trailer mimicked that format.

As for the basics of a moveset, I'd really like it if charging all of his Smash attacks did not increase the power of the attacks, but rather the range. A Smash with no charge to it would be powerful, but really short, but a fully charged Smash could rival Mii Gunner in terms of range. I don't think they're going to do this, but it's what I'm envisioning for Shulk right now (sort of like how I envisioned a "reverse Lucario" factor for Little Mac before his reveal).

Victory pose? Reyn ruffling Shulk's hair saying, "Man, what a bunch of jokers" and Shulk replying with, "Piece of cake." Taunts? "This is the power of the Monado," "the future doesn't belong to you," and an endless sandwich would do the trick for me.

I'd like a Chain Attack Final Smash where all of the party members (except for Member Seven) join in to rack up a large amount of damage and send the foe into daze (aka do like 40% and break the shields of all opponents it connects with). I think that would be pretty neat and reference a lot of stuff from Xenoblade. ...and it would let you finish with Monado Buster, which should be his neutral special.

...enough text dump. I'll see you all in the morning.

 

[ZXMechonHunter]

...enough text dump. I'll see you all in the morning.

We'll see you. We'll see you with either confetti everywhere or an endless sea of salt, cloaked in a boundless sky.

 

[Rioni]

Well, I gotta head off for the night. See you guys tomorrow morning, possibly after the trailer drops. Here's to hoping for Shulk!

 

[WolfieXVII ❂]

Better be Shulk in the morning *grumble* *grumble* or Sakurai is gonna have some 'splainin to do.

 

[Solfiner]

I also have to sleep now, see ya guys.

OK everyone, I know I'm not the talkative type, but I just want to say that this is the most I've enjoyed a forum in a long time. Regardless of if it's Shulk tomorrow or not, I've enjoyed the last few days. Let's just hope for the best tomorrow. See you tomorrow, Bronados!

 

[UltimateWario]

From a bitter and unfeeling Ridley fan, I wanna wish you guys the very best. I may not be getting the characters I want, but at least there are a lot of people happy with who we're getting.

Cheers, mates.

 

[Waterwraith]

Imagine what will happen to this thread if they don't reveal Shulk tomorrow

 

[WolfieXVII ❂]

Imagine what will happen to this thread if they don't reveal Shulk tomorrow

Tales of the war will be told from the survivors, if there are any amongst the flames.

 

[Bosspon]

This. Thread. Will. SURVIVE.

 

[WolfieXVII ❂]

Monado Monday is upon regardless of the results, this cult thread will continue to bask in the awesomeness that is the Xenoblade series. Even amongst the salt.

 

[Waterwraith]

I wish I could have played Xenoblade. It's a game I've admired for a while but I've never been able to buy it due to crazy pricing and how rare it is...

 

[Banjodorf]

Hmm the discussion of the moveset reminds me of when I was working on my Shulk mod for SSBB. If anyone is interested:

I'm pretty curious about what Sakurai is doing for the moveset, and I wonder if there will be any similarities with the mod. Futhermore, I wonder what he's doing for custom moves... those just add another level of complexity to the whole thing.

YOU made that?! That moveset is amazing! I remember catching it just after I finished Xenoblade in March, and thinking "Damn, that thing is fantastic!

 

[Bosspon]

I was lucky enough to get it when it first came out. I'm sure somebody here can direct you to a place where you can get it used. Oh, and Chuggaaconroy is giving away thirty copies of it, so there's that too.

If I may ask a question, what's your favorite piece of music from Xenoblade Chronicles? I think the music is one of the highlights of the game, and I'm curious as to which songs are the most popular among fans. After all, these great musical pieces may end up in Smash.

Either Mechanical Rhythm or One Who Stands in Our Way for battle themes. For scenery, Gaur Plains, Frontier Village, Satorl Marsh - Night and Refugee Camp come to mind.

Also Unfinished Battle and Engage the Enemy for cutscene music.

 

[Omniomega]

Just gonna put this little quote here from a certain someone.

I got another e-mail tonight.

Its contents:

enjoy my good friend shulk!

That is all.

My absolute favorite song in Xenoblade is by far You Will Know Our Names. It's a blood-pumping, adrenaline running song that gets you in the mood to fight. I remember when I had a BRSTM of YWKON on Battlefield and fighting on there was more joyful thanks to that song.
My other favorites include Engage the Enemy, Gaur Plains, Mechanical Rhythm, Satorl Marsh - Night, The God-Slaying Sword, and Unfinished Battle. There are a ton of good tracks in this game.

Unfinished Battle and You Will Know Our Names get me pumped beyond belief.

I'm also a huge fan of Central Factory and Mechonis Field.

But honestly there's no bad tracks in this game. I love them all at least a bit.

 

[False Sense]

Sounds like the battle themes of the game are the most popular. Which makes sense, really.

While I love a lot of the songs in Xenoblade (Engage the Enemy, Unfinished Battle, Zanza, Gaur Planes, and Agniratha are all excellent), I think my absolute favorite has to be this.

t-minus 11 hours guys :D

For battle? You Will Know Our Names hands down. But Mechanical Rhythm has a special place in my heart too.
