First, another xenoblade arrangement - music box main theme!

Last version is Air Slash. Maybe.
What would Standard B be? Monado Buster, Back Slash, what else?

Well, I just really can't see monado buster as a non-final smash attack. It's just too big [insert ridley joke]

I may be a little biased because of the time I spent on that Shulk's brawl mod moveset, but I like the idea of monado purge being B. It's Shulk's most ranged attack, so it just kind of makes sense.

Back Slash and other physical arts would make more sense as smash attacks imo.

The thing is, you use the Monado Arts way too much in normal gameplay for it to be considered a Limit Break-esque attack. It's something that you build up toward, but not really anything special. Buster would just have to be heavily charged to be used. I was thinkin' something a bit more big (read: Ridley) would be his Final Smash. Like a Chain Attack, a mode where he auto-dodges everything due to VisionHax(TM), or, y'know, the very very spoileriffic thing that he gets New Game Plus. That's what I've always viewed his Final Smash to be. I mean, in a match without the Smash Ball, it would kinda be depressing not to see Sulk's "signature move" useable.

For me, Monado Buster just seems like a really bland FS. Monado Buster's awesome, but definitely the most basic Monado Art. It's a bigger slash attack. I feel like that wouldn't be doing any justice to the Monado's uniqueness. A few times in the thread the idea of Shulk having a talent gauge for Monado Arts similar to Little Mac's meter has been brought up, and I absolutely love that idea and hope they go for that.
For a Final Smash, I feel like that'd really be the only way to incorporate visions into Shulk's moveset. Other than his eyes glowing blue when dodging, but that's cosmetic.

I believe that all of the aforementioned usernames are currently in use, so unless anyone wishes to track down said users, we will be without a Reyn, Riki, and Captain Falcon.
But you still have me!

Are the Role-players gone?

In which case,What track from the Xenoblade OST do you think they'll play during Shulk's reveal trailer?

Probably You Will Know Our Names. I would love to see them use Engage The Enemy, with Shulk screaming Fiora after she gets assaulted by an army of R.O.B.s, to which he then beckons revenge on them and draws the Monado on them all.

Some fighters, maybe new veterans, fighting Metal Face to "Crisis." Suddenly,a flash of blue and Shulk Envisions Victory. "You will know our names" plays as Shulk uses a Monado Buster on Metal Face. Predictably, the attack bounces off of the Face Armor, and all seems lost until:
"Final Cross!"
Metal Face stumbles backwards as Shulk turns around.

Fiora Grinds Down! (Engage "Engage the Enemy")

It's easily going to be You Will Know Our Names. It's practically the perfect track for a Shulk reveal; it's iconic, blood pumping, and very hype inducing.
Mechanical Rhythm is also a good song for a Shulk reveal.

...Yep. You've all lost it.

What is it with all the threads that get so caught up in hype that they end up becoming madhouses?

I'm just happy to be among a large group of people who all share an interest with me that I don't normally get to have a proper discussion with others about.

You can tell when they start making pathetic and weak accounts like @ Melia Melia , @Fiora or even @Mysterious Face. (Disregard the Metal Face typing this post)

Well, I suppose all the weird stuff and role playing that goes on in this thread is a sign of devotion to the character and series in question. Such things couldn't exist without a devoted community to make it possible.

By the way, do you say "weak and pathetic" in every post you make?
