Heir to the Monado. Shulk General Discussion/Social Thread

I am a bit hesitant of a remake of You Will Know Our Names since the song is good as it is. In fact... I'm a bit hesitant on every song getting remade! They're just all too good to remake!

 

[DuwangAnon]

I still want Riki the Heropon to make it in (the OST). Let the humor commence!

Imagine fighting Metal face while that song plays. It's worth it!

I dunno, man. Smash Bros. remixes rarely disappoint. Yeah, there have been a few hiccups (looking at you, Norfair...) but in general, the remixes in this series breathe new life into already fantastic music. The thought of that level of quality coming to Xenoblade's soundtrack is very exciting.

 

[Solfiner]

I don't think that too many songs will be remixed. The Kid Icarus songs have just been ported because they already sound amazing (If i recall correctly), so I think the same will happen with the Xenoblade music.

 

[zippy3214]

The only songs that would be remixed would probably be a location theme, but even then it might just be a change in tempo to make it fast paced.

 

[Sheddy]

yeah now that I think ore on it I can't think how sakuria could make a remake from the great soundtrack really

 

[PlTe]

Apparently Sakurai tweeted that the 3DS version is finished & in Japan they will hold an event that will have the final build of the game, so this means the starting roster & stages will be revealed very soon.
Unlocks most likely are disabled though, but hey who knows there is a Xenoblade stage that could hint where we need to play for unlocking Shulk

God I hope we get the full roster.

I can see some songs get ported over and altered slightly to make them shorter (I can see some parts of Gaur Plains getting cut, much like some parts of Id~Purpose having to get cut).

I wouldn't mind some remixes, but I fear some tracks getting butchered.

 

[Sheddy]

well with Xenoblade soundtrack that's one thing that makes Xenoblade Xenoblade is the soundtrack so it makes sense that people be scared of a remix of it but as said above rarely a soundtrack sounds bad only real soundtracks I think are bad are the pokemon ones in brawl but even the pokemon soundtrack from what we heard in smash so far is very well done compared to brawl

 

[MooseSmuggler]

Indeed. It's a hard soundtrack to top.

Spoiler: I'm gonna be the one to say it

It's Sakurai, not Sakuria. Simple switch up, not the end of the world, but wanted to point that out.

 

[SpindaMaster]

I wondered how they were going to handle Mario Galaxy music, since it was all fully-orchestrated and everything, but during Rosalina's portion of the Smash Direct there was a remix of the Observatory theme that sounded really good. I have confidence that if we get remixes of Xenoblade tracks, they'll be good.

yeah my bad I always get them messed up since it sounds like the I go first in Sakurai

 

[AlvisCPU]

Xenoblade's music sets a really high bar. But even though they'd be different it doesn't mean they'd be bad. As some of you have said, Smash does music justice. It might be strange to listen to at first, but it'd grow on me. It's Xenoblade music, gotta love it.

The Comet Observatory theme was definitely well done, but I'm glad that they left Gusty Garden untouched.

That's kind of how I want them to approach Xenoblade. They can remaster a few songs... Satorl Marsh and Gaur Plains come to mind. But the true masterpieces like Unfinished Battle and You Will Know Our Names should be left alone.

I think Colony 9 should get a remake too maybe Riki's theme too just for kicks

Seeing this made me realize how long it took for me to beat it.

I must be a noob, I never bothered with the endgame enemies. I used the brief moment of clarity I got from finishing Xenoblade to lend it to a friend. I told him no matter how much I plead or beg, I should never have that game back. Quite simply, I'd never see daylight again.

I'm having Xenoblade withdrawals though.

30 minutes since the last post?!?!?! Gotta fix that.

Just saw this, I think having down "b" slow down attacks in the area of Shulk might be an interesting take on having "visions." Much better then having a counter at least.

I still really like the idea someone here presented (Don't remember who exactly, sorry): Shulk's dodges makes his eyes glow blue etc to make it seem like he had a vision and therefore could dodge the attack.

I like that as well, but I would like it if his visions could be incorporated into his actual move set. I'm really not sure how Shulk would work mechanically, because there are a lot of gimmicks to draw from in Xenoblade, such as tension, the arts gauge, visions, and the directionality of attacks.

I've said before, Shulk has the potential to have a pretty unique move set, but he might have the MOST potential out of any remaining new comer for unique mechanics.

Yeah, he has crazy potential. I definitely plan on maining him, that much can be said.

So, since I've posted two videos showing off Avalanche Abaasy (even if the second one was just he being absolutely rekt) are there any ideas on how he might work as an assist trophy or smash run/stage boss? Any of his moves he could use and how they might work?

If you run into him in Smash Run, he does his Talent Art which will ohko you, with a very small window for dodging.

Just found a decent fan-made victory theme for Shulk, and I don't believe I've seen it posted to here before.

That's pretty much exactly what I expect his victory theme to be. The secret area theme would work, but this would work better.

It's been posted here a few times before, but I like it.

I swear there are a lot of xenoblade songs that the first few seconds of convince me they are actually homestuck songs

 

[Vintage Creep]

Not bad, maybe it's a little too long.

Seems way too long. Victory themes are typically small jingles no more than perhaps 4 seconds.
I like it though
