Heir to the Monado. Shulk General Discussion/Social Thread

[SpindaMaster]

#14 THIS THREAD

Yes, this thread is, ironically, the very reason why Shulk is not getting in.

 

[Solfiner]

Btw, I just wanted to say something. You-know-who said that it is a crime and heresy that I said that Xenoblade is more Nintendo than Pokémon (which it is) and then seemed to think that I hate Nintendo(?) because of that. That is hilarious to me, because Pokémon is one of my favorite franchises ever, and I literally have played the series for thousands of hours. Don't wanna start anything, just found that funny.

 

[Noiblade]

Honestly though,
He's from a one shot game. Xenoblade Chronicles X.
He's not appearing in the game so he's not relevant.

As for stuff like he looks too anime or too non Nintendo or I don't like Xenoblade, I don't choose to acknowledge those are arguments.

To be fair, to my knowledge, we don't know if Shulk will be in Xenoblade X. There was that one guy in the trailer that looked JUST like him.

I think you guys left out reason #74: Xenoblade and especially Shulk have TERRIBLE voice acting.

 

[Noiblade]

You take that back, Shulks voice acting was marvelous /saracsm

But I do really like Adam's voice acting with Shulk.

 

[Solfiner]

Reason #25: Dittson.

 

[Bosspon]

Reason #382: Shulks and Hades will be too busy to appear in Smash guyz

TOP TEN REASONS SHULK SHOULDN'T BE IN SMASH BROS
#1 HE'S THIRD PARTY
#2 HE'S TOO NON NINTENDO
#3 MONOLITH SOFT IS SECOND PARTY
#4 WE DON'T NEED ANIME CHARACTERS IN SMASH BROS
#5 RED VESTS ARE WAY OUT OF STYLE
#6 HE'S A NERD
#7 SWORDZ
#8 PANDORA'S TOWER ISN'T EVEN GETTING A SEQUEL
#9 THE LAST STORY WASN'T EVEN THAT GOOD

You forgot to scream "NICHE" at the top of your lungs while shaking uncontrollably.

 

[Noiblade]

Reason #687:Xenoblade has bad graphics

 

[ZXMechonHunter]

I will be so hurt and offended if a character is added into a fighting game.
I hate you Sakurai for adding a character of your choice into your fighting game.

We should all tweet to Sakurai right now!

[Hokori]

Clearly we need to edit the thread title to say something along the lines of us not wanting Shulk in SSB4. People would **** so many bricks in confusion.

[Solfiner]

Reason #56: Captain toad has Dunban's face thanks to the disgusting Shulk thread at Smashboards.

 

[ZXMechonHunter]

Reason #87987: My opinion overrules Sakurai's development process

 

[Everest]

Reason #687:Xenoblade has bad graphics

That being said I'm pretty certain that if Shulk is a playable character Sakurai will give him a little facial makeover. But if we hafta cry because he's just another AT, I sure hope they won't use his XenoWii-face

 

[foolssigma]

You take that back, Shulks voice acting was marvelous /saracsm

But I do really like Adam's voice acting with Shulk.

I got that from comments on Chugga's videos. Some of those complaints are outrageous.

I know this has been stated before but Shulk better have the same VA from Xenoblade. It would be like if Sakurai decided to keep Pit's old voice instead of Uprising Pit, thankfully he did not.

 

[Sabrewulf238]

I loved the voice acting in Xenoblade Chronicles. It was a refreshing change from the usual awkward jrpg voices with no personality.

Exactly! Maybe people just don't know what good voice acting is.
I know it's their opinion...but their opinion is wrong.

 

[Hokori]

We'll probably get a Xenoblade stage, but Shulk will only make an appearance in the background, sitting down, eating a sandwich, watching others duke it out while he stuffs his face.

He'll be in the game alright...

 

[Bosspon]

Reason #99: Shulk and Reyn are lost on their way to Smash. They'll never fill out their map.

 

[Oracle_Summon]

Here are all the Monado Arts and what they do in game:

• Buster: powerful attack with a larger blade. Deals double the damage to Mechon and Machina.
• Enchant: strengthens the weapons of the party. Allows normal weapons to damage Mechon.
• Shield: generates a barrier that protects the party from enemy talent arts of the same level or lower.
• Speed: gives the target a greater chance to dodge physical attacks.
• Purge: ranged ether blast that inflicts Aura Seal and nullifies Spike effects.
• Armour: reduces physical and ether damage taken. Percentage (30%-75%) depends on this Art's level.
• Cyclone: damages all enemies around the user and inflicts topple on enemies suffering from break.
• Eater: strips away enemy buffs and causes bleed damage in a frontal cone.

How would you translate each one into a stance?

I think having a stance per Monado art would be too stressful for the SSB4 Development team. It would be better to have a fixed stance and have the Monado Center piece change to match the Monado Art in current use.

The English version of Xenoblade wasn't perfect but in my opinion, it was better than the original japanese voice acting. Most of japanese voices always seems so overacted. (And I don't speak a damn word in Japanese so hearing those screaming battle quotes that I don't understand was a bit lame)

 

[TitanTeaTime]

Reason #0: This is bordering on spam and you should really go back to legible conversation

 

[Bosspon]

So, anybody thinking about what Kirby would look like when he eats Shulk? I'm thinking either Shulk's hair or he gets a Monado (which would be awesome). Or maybe even both. Thoughts?

 

[Oracle_Summon]

Dang. We have become just like the Ridley Thread except we push for Shulk.

 

[MegaLagann]

Edit: Sorry for the spam, I guess I get a little carried away sometimes...

I'l say both.
Though you know, it'll be quite adorable hearing Kirby say MONADO *insert Monado power here*

REASON #5692 SHULK IS FROM A JAPANESE GAME WITH BRITISH ACCENTS. ANIT AMERICAN MUCH?

The caps lock on top of the already borderline spam was not necessary. >:C

As someone who's only watched a few gameplay clips in Japanese, I have to agree. Even in those Avalanche Abaasy videos I posted earlier, the voices were starting to get on my nerves some (for the record, I do enjoy watching quite a few different animes subbed). The English dub felt well done and captured the emotions of the characters and the situations they were in remarkably. Plus, the British accents gave it a charm and personality that a lot of jrpg dubs seem to lack in certain instances.

I assume it'd be both. If the girl in X can get Monado hairpins, Kirby can get a little Monado. I guess it depends what his basic B is though.
Edit: No, he just uses Monado Eater.
...GET IT?!

Shulk's hair might might look like Daraen's a bit too much Maybe his red jacket ?

Edit : or maybe, like with Pacman, he will get a Dittson face

 

[Bosspon]

I'l say both.

I'd pay all the money to hear Kirby say "Monado Buster!" in his cute little Kirby voice.

 

[DuwangAnon]

No, he IS the Monado Eater. Go look at that picture from a while back with the Marthnado and Should Be Scared Of Shulk.

 

[MegaLagann]

I apologize for the spam, that's my bad. But anyway, like I said before what music from Xenoblade do you want in Smash that you don't hear people suggest often?

 

[ChibiIceClimberz]

Speaking of voice acting, what if one of the customizable voices in Xenoblade X is Adam Howden's voice? :OOO

 

[ZXMechonHunter]

I apologize for the spam, that's my bad. But anyway, like I said before what music from Xenoblade do you want in Smash that you don't hear people suggest often?

Obviously the only choice is Ether Mine!
No, but Central Factory is my jam. I feel like after the first 30 seconds it'd be good as a battle theme.

 

[Bosspon]

I apologize for the spam, that's my bad. But anyway, like I said before what music from Xenoblade do you want in Smash that you don't hear people suggest often?

An arrangement of the title screen music sped up and with guitars (maybe throw in some You Will Know Our Names into it) and Frontier Village arrangement with guitars and awesomeness of the highest caliber.

Edit: Also haven't seen this suggested:

 

[MegaLagann]

That could happen, but considering X is getting released (hopefully) around the same time here and in Europe I'd assume they would use American voice actors this time around. Maybe include Adam Howden as a nice nod to fans of the original, but I guess we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Right now I'm more concerned with Shulk getting in Smash.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

I apologize for the spam, that's my bad. But anyway, like I said before what music from Xenoblade do you want in Smash that you don't hear people suggest often?

I'd say Vision Reacts. I've said it before, but you can't go wrong with that guitar solo. Gets me pumped during fights when you have to save someone from being KO'd with a certain attack/combo. c:

 

[Oracle_Summon]

How do you guys think Shulk would do in Team battles? Based on the best moveset, thus far, which character would benefit most from Shulk and help him in Double Battles?
