Heir to the Monado. Shulk General Discussion/Social Thread

[Banjodorf]

I think I brought up Prologue B at some point.

It's so goooooood!

Not that that's anything new for this game.

 

[JakeBaker]

Even though Shulk wasn't announced last Monday, I'm sure that he will be revealed!!

 

[Solfiner]

@BluePikmin11, new supporter again! It's awesome how many people make accounts just because of this thread.

 

[Sheddy]

Clearly Palutena is enough heresy in this game already. Xenoblade content disconfirmed.

and then theirs already pokemon that supports evolution this game is a work of the dark ones I tell you!

 

[Solfiner]

Sakurai truly is Satan.

 

[GuyWithTheFace]

but the rap man don't lose your way man we need rap in smash just make every song rap

 

[Solfiner]

This is my jam son.

 

[Bosspon]

Reyn replaces the clock item.

Or he's a new item. The Rainbow. After all...

"You can't make a rainbow without Reyn!"

Here we go... My longest post.

Shulk in Smash 4:

Spoiler

Symbol: Either a Monado, similar to the one in the OP or the X from the new game's logo

Entrance: Jumps in this fashion, landing with his back to the front and does a slight turn (shown in video. Also I'm not really sure what entrance would be best.)

MASSIVE SPOILERS- Shown at about 2:43

Spoiler

Colors: Each one based on a different party member. I took this from a random site although it may have been posted here as well.

Spoiler

Victory music: Secret Area

Spoiler

Top Stage Picks: Prison Island with Metal Face as a boss
Traveling Junks Stage
...Everywhere

Music picks:
Engage the Enemy
You Will Know Our Names
One who gets in our way

Mechanical Rhythm
Realistically most of the game's tracks

Tagline:
Shulk engages the enemy
Shulk changes the future
Shulk envisions the battle

Victory quotes:
The future is not yours to control (future doesn't belong to you)
Piece of Cake
Something about friends
Something about destiny
Behold the power of the Monado

Taunt quotes
We can definitely do this
Monado lend us your power
We haven't lost yet
Nothings gonna stop me

Status: Unlockable

Actual Moveset
A-Sword slash similar to Shulk's auto attack
AA-Sword slash similar to Shulk's double auto attack
A jab- Third slash which hits opponent slightly upward

Other A's- Different sword swings... I'm not so good with these

Specials (Naturally Shulk must announce the name of his attacks)

Neutral B - Monado Buster (can be charged. Sword reaches farther based on charge.)

Forward B - Monado Cyclone (can be charged. Charge determines how far the attack will land from Shulk. Only location is altered, not size. Looks similar to the Xenoblade version. If opponent is inflicted with break then this move will cause them to trip or topple.

Down B - Monado Eater (Pulls characters toward Shulk. Only works in forward direction. Also inflicts bleed which works similar to the lip flowers.)

Up B - Monado Purge
(Jumps and Swings word which emits a green wave. Chance of inflicting aura seal which can negate specials? ...Sounds cool but too broken. Maybe instead it can inflict break even though that isn't true to the game.)

side smash - Back slash - jumps forward slightly- does more damage to rear of characters
up smash- Air slash - jumps, swings sword upward and emits a small wave just a tad farther. Inflicts break.
Down smash - Shaker edge - not true to game since this will attack in both directions, forward then back - can daze characters who are toppled resulting in an effect similar to DKs side B but slightly better.

Also, the break topple bleed and daze icons appear above characters to indicate their status.

Kirby hat - Shulks hair with mini monado. Kirby uses Monado Buster and shouts it in the kirby voice.


Final Smash - Vision - Shulk says I see it - then the screen fades in that white color and comes back with the blue hint from Xenoblade during the vision sequences. The other characters appear on screen and can move freely for a few seconds. Afterwards, the vision ends and Shulk says this is the true power of the Monado. Shulk has Monado Speed and Armor which make him quicker and invincible. Also, Enchant which somehow makes him more powerful against everyone. The characters reenact their movements while Shulk is free to attack. In addition, the vision meter can appear on the top of the screen and then shatter after Shulk KOs someone for a nice touch.

*I forgot who suggested this final smash concept first, but please let me know and I will put your name here. Visions are a must for me in smash as they are a crucial aspect of Xenoblade. A chain attack final smash would also work well where multiple party characters appear and do some of their signature moves - Lariet - Blossom Dance - Final Cross - Mind Blast - etc

***This was far more difficult than I thought it would be but I guess this is why I put off an attempt for so long. I really like the concept of a move set focusing on the break combo or the status ailments from Xenoblade. I'm also a big fan of the leveling and talent gauge move sets that many of you have constructed. It just goes to show how many directions Shulk can go in and how truly unique he is. Next I'll probably make up a trailer for his reveal.

I am loving the colors for Shulk, they are very nice.

LGBT uses the rainbow, I am a homophobe (I am only kidding guys), Shulk deconfirmed.

Reyn confirmed as LGBT mascot.

You know, that would be f**king awesome!

How some people felt about the Monday Trailer:

 

[Spazzy_D]

Still the best recolor I've seen anyone do around here.

 

[Sheddy]

How some people felt about the Monday Trailer:

real reason he's not in

 

[Bosspon]

I feel that, since we are over 200 pages in, I must remind everyone of the rules of being a super player. These apply to when Smash comes out. Shulk, of course, will be in, so make sure to follow these rules for yourself and for online.

Rule 7 is the most important.

 

[MegaLagann]

How some people felt about the Monday Trailer:

I REALLY hope Shulk doesn't look this soulless. That or they fix Lucina's face before the game comes out...

 

[Oracle_Summon]

Chrom should have taken his own advice:

that 1000 yard stare

 

[GuyWithTheFace]

I REALLY hope Shulk doesn't look this soulless. That or they fix Lucina's face before the game comes out...

She looks much better on the 3DS, so I'm hoping they'll use the final few months of Wii U development to touch up a few of the character models. Lucina's in particular.

I'm just glad robin's in he was my hope for FE newcomer

 

[Andyjoe522]

He might not have made it into Smash, but he's still the only one in his family man enough to take out a roach.

 

[Banjodorf]

It's clearly just an indicator of why the Wii U version is coming out much later. It's harder to work with those facial expressions, plus they HAVE more time, so do everything else first.

Palutena's face looks alot better on the 3DS too. Clearly they've just been doing all the faicla work on that one, cuz..y'know, it comes out in less than 2 months. (Holy **** tho.)

He might not have made it into Smash, but he's still the only one in his family man enough to take out a roach.

I love this picture. Female Robin so KAWAIII (I'm so sorry. Never again.)

Anyway, is this the Shulk thread or did I take a wrong turn?

 

[Spazzy_D]

Let's cool it with the Chrom/Fire Emblem image posts. Yea, they're funny. but we should really try to stay a bit more on topic.

 

[GuyWithTheFace]

Me too. Lucina's just a bonus, as far as I'm concerned! She's one of my favorite FE characters, so even if she's a clone, I'm glad she's in.

If we get Shulk too, I'll stand outside at midnight in the middle of December for this game. Don't even care.

not gonna lie that was one of my favorite moments in FE awakening

I'm doing that either way but if shulk gets in to I will die

We're clearly letting poor Chrom fans in our board since they have nowhere else to go.

They're riding the DLC train HARD.

 

[Oracle_Summon]

Concerning Shulk's mechanics in SSB4, would he be a glass cannon with a long reach?

 

[MegaLagann]

But anyway back on topic. I'm sure Shulk will look more finished since he wasn't a last minute addition (I hope). I just wanna see was his screen KO will look like...

 

[Sheddy]

I think he'll be a close range glass canon hits hard but can't take hits well like how he is in Xenoblade

 

[Gold_Jacobson]

So, I was just at gamestop and saw a pre-owned Xenoblade Chronicals, $49.99. I bought it.

I knew I should get it because I heard they were hard to find.

However, right now I'm playing through other series with Smash characters, Ex: (Mega man, Metroid, FE: Awakening, Bowser's Inside Story, etc.) So, I'm kinda busy to play this big game.

So, I'm not going to play XC until Shulk is announced. He better be announced eventually, then I can include him on my Smash character game line up.

But wouldn't.....

Shulk's gameplay and stages contain spoilers?

Possibly. I'm fine with fighting styles and locations being spoiled.

As long as it isn't Zelda-is-Shiek equivalent.

yeah play it now xenoblade is gonna be a game where if shulk is revealed something will be spoiled by it

 

[Andyjoe522]

So guys, what do you think are the odds of Xenoblade getting multiple stages? I mean, odds are as far as playable characters are concerned we're only getting Shulk (as much as I want our Heropon or Seven to join along with him), but I definitely think it's possible for there to be more than one Xenoblade stage at least in the Wii U version. There's too many prime locations in this game to only have one stage based on it, even if one is a traveling stage with Junks.

I could see it possibly getting two max since it is such a loved game

Thank you for making me laugh hard enough to choke, sir and/or ma'am.
