Heir to the Monado. Shulk General Discussion/Social Thread

[Deleted member]

I'm dumb. I only just realized after about a month of owning the game that arts manuals have to be "read" in your inventory in order to go to intermediate level.

...Everyone makes mistakes. There's actually a surprising amount of things you can miss in Xenoblade. Like when I freaking missed the place in Satorl Marsh with the Gogols.

I honestly do not get the comparison between Shulk and Robin since they literally look nothing alike. Different color hair, vastly different clothing, different swords. I guess their hairstyle does look similar. But in that case we might as well cut Jigglypuff since she looks like Kirby, in that they're both pink balls.

@Hokori may i please be invited to the social group?

 

[Deleted member]

Can't wait to see Kirby yelling "MONADO PURGE !".

Only if he has the British accent like someone mentioned on the last page.

 

[Deleted member]

Before I get invited, I'll skip out on the group. Sorry.

Same. I can imagine Kirby sounding adorable while bringing out a little Monado.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I greet you as a fellow supporter of Shulk. To try to best understand the character before the reveal I see as a matter of when, not if, I picked up Xenoblade Chronicles and am about 96 hours into the game, over 400 quests done, at the point of Inner Bionis Second Visit. With the recent events, there is one thing I wanted to see people's opinions for.

With this being the Kirby Hat for Robin (possibly Male Robin solely, FemRobin having a different one)... what would Shulk's Kirby Hat be to help differentiate from this one? I feel that Shulk's hair is of a very similar style and a fairly similar shade. While a minor detail, it is still one that I feel is significant about how the character integrates into smash.

WE NEED SHULK

Shulk is needed in this Game

Isn't there, like, five more pages 'till we reach K. Rool?

The K. Rool thread is at 335 pages. So, 5 more and we will overtake them!

 

[Deleted member]

Then again, how many of these pages are on topic?

I actually thought that Jigglypuff was from the Kirby games when I first played the original Smash Bros., because I knew jack about either Pokemon or Kirby at that point in time. ^^"

 

[Spazzy_D]

Oh wow, I just realized if the stance change thing is true then that means if Kirby copies Shulk he steals and entire gimmick.

They might limit it. After all, Kirby can't perfectly copy Olimar's neutral special.

 

[Spazzy_D]

Well, like 90% of the posts in the K. Rool thread are just reposts of that one of us video.

Or Luma Shot.

 

[Spazzy_D]

Or Luma Shot.

I actually thought of Luma when I typed that, but I figured I would let someone else bring it up as it weakens my point.

Also, I'm not sure how Luma shot works as a copied ability to be honest.

He summons a Luma which shoots forward and vanishes.

 

[Spazzy_D]

It still doesn't quite match up with the complexity of stat changing.... but I get your point.

In terms of abilities that are relevant to Smash, very little. In terms of character, they're both intelligent individuals, both try to change the outcomes of the future and

Spoiler: Endgame for both games

they are both possessed by evil gods that they end up taking the fight to.

But yeah, I think Robin's inclusion means nothing on Shulk.

Those end game spoilers are going to be spoiled for everyone that plays Smash 4 event matches. Just got that feeling.

I'm thinking that we'll just have an event where we

have to kill some evil gods

I don't really think Shulk and Robin look alike at all.

Could be worse.

Seven could always show up in THAT form

But yeah Xenoblade is going to get spoiled like FE13 and Mother 3.

I can't wait to see just how many spoilers are in Shulk's reveal trailer.

If a certain 2nd newcomer I want that is from the same series and in the spoiler tag in my sig shows up, there'll most likely be that too. I can dream I think heavier spoilers are more likely to be in trophy descriptions (i.e. who the final boss is, I mean look at Lucas's trophy description in Brawl). And if there's an adventure mode for Wii U/certain bosses in Smash Run, that too.

Something tells me the number will be up there with Krillin's current owned count.

We're almost guaranteed a Mr. Spoilery Final Boss fight, I'm sure. It may even be shown off in his trailer. :b

Zanza as a boss in Smash Run confirmed?

 

[Knight Dude]

So yeah, I'm not sure if someone mentioned this, but I had a weird idea. What if, whenever Shulk got a Smash Ball, the symbol in the middle of the Monado was the Smash insignia? I thought it would be kind of cool. I don't know all that much about the game. But if I'm not mistaken, Shulk's sword changes it's symbol whenever he uses a special attack right?

It depends on what his Final Smash is. Could be fun for when he is holding it, though.

I really like that idea, actually. Although I guess it does depend on what his FS is.

And that will hopefully be cut down because it's spam by itself, right?

That makes a large amount of sense. Vision eyes + Smash Art FS is cool.

I'm more of a road trip then a direct flight kind of guy, so I dig it.

I don't get why people compare Shulk and Robin even there hair don't look alike different bangs, hair color, hell even the hair length and the back of there hair is different.
