Heir to the Monado. Shulk General Discussion/Social Thread

[Blaziken]

How can some people dislike the English voice acting in Xenoblade? My brain can't cope with that.

I suppose some people dislike how almost every character has a British accent.

 

[Solfiner]

Basically, a guy replied to a Youtube video about the leaks with the following info.

- Shulk's B special changes his kanji (Monado). Red kanji make his hands glow, while blue kanji make his feet glow.
- His up special is like Marth's
- His down special is a counter

(I omitted the other part about Bowser Jr and Ganondorf since it isn't relevant to the thread)

What do you guys think about the hands/feet glowing?

All I can think of is a Monado Speed mode and maybe an aggro mode, although it would make more sense if his feet were red like in Xenoblade. It could also be more of an offensive/defensive mode switch.

Not saying this is real, just posting it for more move set speculation/discussion. If those Up and Down specials turn out to be real I'll be a little disappointed.

Dat Up-B... I hope this is 100% fake, because I wouldn't stand that.

Maybe I missed something, but what's so special about this youtube commenter? Not trying to be that guy, just curious.

 

[Berserker.]

Guys, if it's true.

Key word: If

No matter what comes up, this whole leak feud will end in one PotD or one trailer or basically when the damn game is released. Just be patient.

 

[SmilingMad]

What would your thoughts be on an Assist Trophy'd Shulk?

 

[MooseSmuggler]

What would your thoughts be on an Assist Trophy'd Shulk?

No. Just no. We don't talk about that.

 

[Aurablade]

Your signature would describe my feelings perfectly if that's the case.

 

[Knuckles the Knuckles]

What would your thoughts be on an Assist Trophy'd Shulk?

Blood in the streets is my guess.

But me personally, would just be pretty dissappointed. But Im used to it by now

 

[Noiblade]

What would your thoughts be on an Assist Trophy'd Shulk?

I'd think it'd be cool... Only if it was in the PoTD as an AT and then a couple minutes later a video is posted of his reveal and how Shulk "changed" the future. Other than that. No. We wont talk about that.

Heh, that'd be pretty cool.

What?
This is an actual possibility?
Nah. No way.

Bet the damage control would be fairly easy to attain



Hopefully that doesn't happen and if it does, everyone here will have the ability to calm their ****

Luckily our fanbase is pretty calm. I mean, we were all hyped by #MonadoMonday, but even after Lucina and Robin were revealed, no one really complained. I am super happy to be a part of the Bronados.

For those who played Xenoblade, was Shulk your favourite character when you were playing the game ?

I really like his character development, but compared to Melia, Dunban, Fiora and Alvis, he wasn't my favourite character.

Melia was my favorite followed by Dunban

 

[Sheddy]

why are we entraining the idea of shulk being a semi clone if he is I'd be really disappointed

Don't worry, it ain't gonna (hopefully) happen

I don't know what would be worse..Shulk being a semi-clone or not having a British accent.

what if we had a semi clone german accent shulk

 

[foolssigma]

Most likely nothing. It just lined up with Ninka's information. I did omit some of the comment so it just mentioned Shulk. Neo Zero is trying to contact him to investigate something.

 

[zippy3214]

Anytime I hear someone speaking with a German accent, they sound extremely angry. I would not want an angry Shulk.

 

[Solfiner]

He was my second favorite, after Dunban.

 

[Spazzy_D]

Even though counter could work as a down special for Shulk, it would be severely disappointing since he already has a lot of unique in game abilities (Shield, Armour, Battle Soul, Shadow Eye, Lite Heal, even Cyclone) that he could use that wouldn't make him "a guy with a sword and a counter."

 

[Solfiner]

I don't believe that comment at all by the way. His hands start glowing red? Also, only his feet glowing blue? Monado speed covers the entire body with a blueish light.

I'd have to say that Juju's buggy Melia was my favorite, but Shulk, Dunban, and Alvis were all right behind her. (Shulk because of character development, Dunban because of sheer willpower, and Alvis just because he didn't make sense for so long.)

 

[Spazzy_D]

I don't know if I like any one particular character over another in Xenoblade. The interactions between the characters make the group greater then the sum of their parts and was really one of the high lights of the game.

The post battle victory banter in particular is amazing:

Riki: Thanks to Riki's sidekicks, we win!
Reyn: What? Who're you calling "sidekick"?
Riki: No see anyone else. Must be you!
Reyn: Stupid furry volleyball. I'm gonna...
Shulk: Reyn, you're such an easy target!

Yeah, I don't want to choose actually. Everyone goes through GREAT character development except Riki. But how can you dislike Riki?

Every Riki quote in the game is gold. More victory banter with Riki!

Riki: Riki wish Melly was real big sister!
Melia: Aww. But what about Sharla?
Riki: Sharla more like mama. One mama enough.
Sharla: Now you wait just a minute!

Riki may well be the softest of all Nopon.

 

[Pega-pony Princess]

Riki suddenly afraid.

 

[Hype Train]

Riki suddenly afraid.

Aye-aye! Nose, mouth.

(Still one of my favourite quotes ever).

Honestly, I can't decide between Shulk and Riki for my favorite character.
My main party for a lot of the game was Shulk, Riki, and Dunban. Riki's art names and skill names were just so hilarious, while some of his parts in the cutscenes made me go "Aww".

I can, for some reason, see Shulk having some sort of banter with his party either as a victory thing or even do some sort of Solid Snake/Fox thing on his stage. Which would be impossible, but seriously amazing.

*Facing Ridley*

Riki: Dinobeast?! Fight, sidekick! Go beat Dinobeast!
Shulk: If that's a Telethia, that's the weirdest Telethia I've ever seen!

 

[Pega-pony Princess]

Oh Riki...He always makes me smile.

 

[T.R "River"]

Hey, you know that one leak with Shulk in it? The one with Lucina and Shulk fighting Ganondorf and Charizard on that Yoshi stage? Did anyone point out the fact that both Lucina and Shulk have their backs turned to the camera?

Spoiler

Which is impossible to do in the new game

 

[MeekMeek93]

Yea that deals with both Isaac and Shulk's reveal! The blonde JRPG protagonist tag team going against the might of Ridley! That would be a dream come true for Isaac fans and Shulk fans! Heck Isaac with the Sol Blade and Shulk with the Monado.

Two legendary weapons,

two legendary heroes,

and one huge badass villain!

Mind = Blown!

Exactly! We haven't seen Isaac as an Assist Trophy, and he could possibly make it in as his own character! Also, another thing that would be a good idea is to have a Xenoblade stage on the Wii U and a Golden Sun stage on the 3DS!

 

[Bosspon]

Spoiler: Large Image

I want this as an alternate costume for Shulk in Smash. Probably won't happen, but hey, a pon can dream.

Eh, you never know. Zero Suit Samus got an alternate costume.

Zero Suit Shulk. hehe...

That actually doesn't matter as much since some characters are notable exceptions to this rule.

Spoiler

Like Marth, who Lucina is a clone of.

I say that we wait and see. Hopefully, hopefully we something this week.
