Heir to the Monado. Shulk General Discussion/Social Thread

Is ready?

Well, i'd say it gives Initial Tension, which is the closest thing to "Ready" the game has.

Speaking of tension, I never noticed the effects of it too much when everyone has high tension. But when someone has low tension, all I see from them is missing. Does tension affect anything besides accuracy?

Critical Hit ratio, I know that much. I think it boosts how fast the party guage fills, as well.

what would I give off .-.

. . . Aggro up?

 

[Solfiner]

High tension also enables you to use very specific arts on certain characters.

Sorry for the doublepost, mah computer's bein' dumb.

Thanks for filling me in, but now do you think tension could be implemented into Shulk? Even something simple, like depending on Shulk's lead on the opponent (or how far behind) his character portrait would change.

That would be an insane level of detail, but it would also be freaking awesome!

Almost how the Tales series characters' battle portraits change. That would be pretty nice, blatantly fanservicy and, I believe, more effort Sakurai's put into a single character than any others in the past. Unless, of course, I'm wrong.

what if that's how they set him apart from everyone else depending on his tension he either gets stronger or weaker

Alfonso will take his place.

Leave it to me!

 

[Kikkipoptart12]

It's Shulk's alt in Smash 4. Duh.



NotlikeIwasjusttryingthingsoutontheimageboardundertheexcuseoftestingoutadifferentwayofpostingthingsjustsoIcouldputuprandomnonXenopics.

Put the monado in and then it will be perfect.

I'm dying send help.

 

[Solfiner]

I'm dying send help.

Well, they basically have the same definition to begin with.

 

[DuwangAnon]

That'd definitely be an interesting mechanic.

...what have I done?
the thread is even more off-topic now
somebody suggest a gameplay mechanic, quck!

 

[Oracle_Summon]

What type of character do you guys think would give Shulk the most trouble? Things like Zoners, Rangers, Speedsters, Tricksters etc.

Too hard to say right now. I need to see him in action first.

It's hard to say at this point since we haven't seen gameplay of Shulk yet.
My idea for Shulk is that all of his attacks cover a great range, but he is left wide open. So, I think speedy characters like Meta Knight may do a number on him.

Zoner - Character whose strength lies in forcing their opponent to stay in a certain area. Ex:

Ranger - Character whose strength lies in their ranged attacks to force opponents to keep their distance. Ex:

Speedster - Character whose strength lies in their speed and ability to overwhelm their opponents with relentless attacks. Ex:

Trickster - Character whose strength lies in a quirky moveset that is hard to predict and can alter the battle field. Ex:

Bruiser - Character whose strength lies in devastating attacks to quickly finish off opponents. Ex:

Resistor - Character whose strength lies in super armor that allows them to tank hits to strike down opponents. Ex:

Puppeteer - Character whose strength lies in overwhelming opponents with relentless attacks stopping opponents from striking back. Strength in numbers. Ex:

Juggler - Character whose strength lies in being able to string combos together to finish off opponents. Ex:

yke fites 4 his fries tho

 

[MegaLagann]

Another thing detractors say about Shulk is why are you so confident Shulk is playable when there's been no clue or hints (in other words anything shown in game). But honestly that's probably the best reason as to why Shulk is playable. Think about it. Xenoblade is a new first party IP from the Wii era, about to get a sequel. If Shulk isn't playable isn't it odd then that we've seen nothing Xenoblade related. Sakurai at least knows of it's existence, he's friends with the developers and worked with them in the past, so if Shulk wasn't playable we would of seen something by now. A trophy, assist trophy, something, anything and yet nothing. But Wonder Red has a trophy and that came out last year, Steel Diver has a item, Captain Rainbow, one of the most obscure Nintendo games ever, has a trophy, but yet nothing Xenoblade related. Heck Rayman, a character from a company that's barely supporting Nintendo is in the game, but no Xenoblade. Now of course Sakurai could still show Shulk as a assist trophy sometime before September, but I doubt it. If he's holding out on Xenoblade representation for this long it has to mean something.

I think heavy hitters type of characters would give Shulk the most trouble, if he turn out to be a glass canon.

Oh my god you're not even speaking in English anymore.

Like Captain Falcon?

 

[Solfiner]

Oh my god you're not even speaking in English anymore.

Sorry for that little outburst of stupid. Regarding Shulk, I could totally see him being a glass cannon, just like in xenoblade.

 

[DuwangAnon]

This thread is crazy.

Crazy Diamond. Which is not crash.

 

[Sheddy]

I think as said resistors will give him the hardest time if he plays like a glass cannon like I think he will

 

[Kikkipoptart12]

Like Captain Falcon?

Yes? Wait captain Falcon is a heavy hitter I though the was a speedster?

 

[TechPowah]

If his main weapon is the Monado, literally anyone who isn't or is gonna give Shulk trouble.
