I totally thought I knew how it was going to go. We had the trio to start off the party, we'd pick up a few people, gonna be awesome. Then Fiora died and I'm like WHAT NO WHY DID YOU DO THAT D: EVERYTHING WAS WONDERFUL It was like the storywriters went "Are you comfortable? All cozy in this narrative blanket? Good... I'm gonna set it on fire now."

I remember seeing someone posting about Xenoblade on Facebook a long time ago and their series of comments were like:

A: Finally got Xenoblade! Really loving it so far. It's felt pretty relaxed so far, but I'm only up to Tephra Cave, I'm sure it'll pick up :b:
B: How good is it, hey?! I can't put it down. [2 likes]
C: Yeah, don't worry about that... it picks up pretty soon... [5 likes]
A: It's awesome. And yeah, it's gotten pretty intense now :O... [8 likes]
(10 minutes later...)
A: WHAT [15 likes]
A: NO [15 likes]
Well, that pretty much sums up everyones reaction to the Colony 9 part of the game.

I think we should hold ourselves together until maybe the August direct

I don't think we will see a random bomb drop like Robin's trailer until then. :3

Yeah, that seems about right.

Also, do you want to be added to our support list?

It's a shame to see Takamaru deconfirmed... Condolences to @ NonSpecificGuy NonSpecificGuy as I know he was a huge supporter of Takamaru.
I guess we can only hope that Shulk pushes through.
To say that I'm disappointed is putting it lightely, I'm not to thrilled at Sakurai's choice of characters this time around.
However, I still have hope for Shulk and Isaac, as I truly believe that next game Takamaru will, most definitely, get the Little Mac treatment.

I am personally pretty damn satisfied this time around, but I can definitely see why some are dissapointed.

Man. I only recently started supporting Takamaru, but he and Shulk were the only two left I really wanted that I felt like had a chance(if even a small one for Takamaru(In other words, I want King K. Rool but I don't think he's likely)).
That sucks. But since his game is on the European EShop and soon the American EShop, hopefully he gets the Little Mac treatment. And in an age where DLC is possible, who knows, his day may come sooner. My condolences to all other Takamaru supporters.

I have never understood why people find K. Rool extremely likely. Sure I would really like him but I don't find him likely AT ALL.

hmm no problem haha
I see no problem in him being included. Shulk looks cool :p

Kremlings in Smash run and blah
Also Ridley in same scenario for me ugh I hate how they explain why he is in (no offence meant to anyone)

Cool! I'm on the supporter list twice! Get on my level so called Shulk supporters
Might be a bit late here, but so am I!!!

Also, definitely late to the party on this one, but I think Shulk's entrance could be Junks dropping him off.

I am positive he is at least in the game.
Should be in the August Direct to tie in with Xenoblade X news I guess (after that Monado Monday noshow) haha
which leaves us with Chorus kids I guess (and unknown amount of characters for secrets)

He is the closest thing to a main villain DK has and was a top 3 requested new comer in both Japan and in the West.

I don't think he is a slam dunk because he has been MIA in his own franchise for a bit, but he is probably the most wanted newcomer (excluding Mewtwo) globally.

Yeah, I know all that. I still don't think he is likely though. Now don't get me wrong, K. Rool would be awesome but it's just a gut feeling I guess.

I don't disagree... and even though I am on the K. Rool support list I think Dixie is more likely, and I have no real preference between them.

I love how Shulk is one of the big shots now btw. Gone are the days when people said that Shulk wasn't likely because he is a "Generic JRPG protagonist from a niche franchise without a sequel." Things can change a lot in one year.

August also ties in with Europe's Xenoblade release date (and almost Australia's.) I'm not sure if non-Japanese release dates have ever signified anything, but I'm hoping for the best.

Shulk was always a big shot, some people just didn't know.

Shulkamaru
I posted this in the general character thread, because it's amazing.

Also, after seeing this, the only acceptable Xenoblade assist trophy in my opinion is Reyn throwing Riki up into the air and spiking him like a volley ball at opponents.

I assume the reveal trailer will be somewhere between the 11th and 15th of August. I really hope Shulk is revealed before the final roster is leaked, although we're all pretty much 90-99% sure he's in.
I'm just really curious about his design and moveset at this point.

Directs are usually announced the day before unless they are for a specific game. I think we may have a Smash Direct in early September, and a general direct in August. First week directs aren't uncommon so I wouldn't doubt we get one as early as Tuesday of next week.

As far as Shulk, I REALLY want to see him revealed so I can dissect his move set. There are a lot of ways it can be approached so I am really curios as to how Sakurai and his team will handle it.

Question regarding affinity coins
Can contain some huge spoiler for the people that haven't beat the game yet
I restarted from scratch, Shulk, Reyn & Fiora are all lv 12. Shulk & Reyn have 17 affinity coins due I leveled up 11 levels & beat 6 uniques, while Fiora for some reason only has 16. Don't know if this is normal but I atleast hope when she returns as Seven she has the same amount of affinity coins like the rest of the party, thanks in advance guys

Man, as a Takamaru supporter, I'm kinda disappointed. I REALLY hope Shulk isn't AT'd, that would be painful. My two most wanted-to-see characters, non-playable.
I'll admit, as soon as I saw "as an assist trophy" in Takamaru's description, I kinda laughed, then sighed.

Does anyone have a gif of just Reyn spiking Riki? I may need it in the future to illustrate the perfect Xenoblade assist trophy.

Also, just changed my avatar!

Someone made a thread about what character we would get in the August direct and didn't include Shulk! Scandalous!

http://smashboards.com/threads/august-direct-character-prediction-disscusion.362618/#post-17169071
SHUN THE NONBELIEVERS! SHUUNNNN!

On another note, I have a general question about Smashboards that I can't seem to work - directly uploading images and gifs - how? The "Upload a File" button appears on other threads, but not this one. Is it just me or am I missing the obvious way to do this...?

In Shulk's defense, the ONLY characters he included on the poll were Ridley and Bandanna Dee. Yup.

As far as uploading in this thread? Works for me so I have no idea.

Tried drop-and-drag, and it gave me a big UPLOADS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. Not sure what the deal with that is... I'd say maybe it's doing something because of my poor net connection but it works on other threads, so I don't get it. Sadlyf. There's something I'd love to post, maybe I'll do it elsewhere and link it later on :ohwell:

That's weird. It may be a problem with smashboards. I myself can't edit my signature at all for some reason.
