So, to get us back on track, what moveset would like Shulk to have? I'd like to see him have a buff-based moveset. Monado Enchant could be his neutral special and would boost his attack damage, Monado Speed would be his side special and would boost his movement speed, and his down special could be Monado Shield and would reduce the amount of damage he takes. His up special could be Monado Cyclone.
Then I truly, genuinely apologize. All the parts I had in this fiasco, be it unknowing or knowing, I apologize.
No a buff based moveset would be wierd to say the least, although monado speed could work similarly to Ike's quick draw or palutena's lightweight, and backslash could be a great down special monado cyclone could work and for neutral special, a vision could work as a counter.
I agree we did when off topic a lot, I don't know about the Dittson thing because I'm not really here in the day time but I can see that it can be really annoying. This is a Shulk thread and not a Dittson or side- character thread.
Terribly sorry, I guess the hype overloaded me
We've talked a bit about this before, and I don't like the idea being a slow heavy hitter. In the game he's shown to be really light on his feet and agile, even when he isn't getting visions. I think that he should be quick and have quite a decent amount of damage behind his blows, but a complete lightweight. I can see him getting knocked around a lot. I know the Monado looks big and heavy, but that isn't how Shulk plays at all in the game.
Slightly above average run speed, high end of lightweight-low end of middleweight class, leans more toward being a fast-faller, solid-KO power (strength)
yea and I could also see him being a high jumper with decent falling speed
I was gonna say the telethia and then i fought the telethia and im like nope honestly im playing xenoblade right now
I totally disagree. The jumping in Xenoblade is atrocious. He should have awful jumps, but an amazing range to make up for it.
Wait, what are you talking about? Are you talking about his trailer reveal or hypothetical cutscenes for a hypothetical adventure mode?
Oohoo, story mode thoughts? I must have missed your post last night when the thread was zooming ahead and I was too impatient to try and catch up with all of the pages, so I just skipped ahead. Shulk meeting Rosalina would be interesting, especially if he found out that she's remade the universe. "Wait a second...this seems really familiar..."
I'll probably start up a convo and invite the active members into the convo. If you're interested in being in it, just post on my profile and PM me and I'll add you.
As for the trailer, he really doesn't even have to fight a robotic character. Captain Falcon was kinda just tossed into the Fire Emblem trailer, so I honestly don't know what to expect at this point.
Captain falcon is in a racing game, yet he doesn't have terrible jumps like little mac, you can hardly jump in LoZ, yet link and zelda have decent jumping. But high jumps are a bit ridiculous, but he shouldn't have terrible jumpin, also I expect his range to be on par with Ike'sIke's
That'd be cool. The trailer could start out with Ness and R.O.B. fighting, and then Shulk comes in and saves Ness.
I'd rather see him teaming up with Snake and fighting off a swarm of Mechon like total BA's, tbh.
Needs to top Robin's, that for sure. How should we do dat?I can see shulks reveal trailer and it being totally epic but i cant explain it
A adventure mode just because I think we may have one but more interactive than the one in brawl, and I also think many people made a lot of trailer reveals already.
We have no influence over how trailers are presented and its contents unfortunately.
Although we're not having anything to the extent of SSE, I'm sure we'll have treats in store for us. Something about Sakurai and the team putting so much work into these trailers and their presentation gives me hope for some similar things in-game. Maybe we could get that kind of stuff sprinkled in some Event Matches.
Oh my holy hell yes! I wish so badly that Sakurai was just psyching us out when he said that. I didn't even realize until very recently that the Subspace Emissary's gameplay is, well, a little lackluster, just because I had so much fun finding all the characters and getting to see the cutscenes myself. I think he's really not viewing people putting the cutscenes up on Youtube correctly, I can guarantee you that almost no one bought Brawl just because of Subspace. They bought it because it's a damn good fighting game. And to see it become a damn good fighting game with a damn good story mode (with both awesome cutscenes and gameplay sections) would just make me the happiest little Skittle. (AhAAAA I rhymed.)
Very cool! I just can't go on your profile page when you don't follow me. I'll just send you a friend request. Why not.
I have this trailer in my mind where we see a green open field with the Monado (basically, it's the game's title screen). The main theme to Xenoblade is playing in the background for a few seconds. Then it cuts as Shulk gets a vision of Bowser attacking him. Shulk sees Bowser and uses Monado Buster on him.
I don't think Shulk would mistake Mega Man as a faced Mechon, he has too much of a humanoid appearance. It's possible, but I don't think it's likely.
That's what I thought you meant, but we already know there won't been an adventure mode like Brawl this time around. Is this just for fun?
I see no reason why Dittson and co. should be retired. Used a little more sparinglly? Probably. Put away for good? No. Calm down guys, we know we've been a little too off-topic lately, and we can remedy this without taking away the silly stuff entirely.
This would be so awesome. This would also be perfect to announce voice actor changes for the final versions. I want my Kenneth James Bowser
Also, YWKON and Chain Attack FS 
And a great way to start things off, too!Yeah, just for fun. No reason not to, right? Especially since we've exhausted most other topics.
I find this a bit relieving (assuming it's real).
