Heir to the Monado. Shulk General Discussion/Social Thread

[Booster]

I think it's finally time I play my copy of Xenoblade. I've kept it waiting long enough. Has anyone got any quick tips that'll be handy for me to know? Thanks!

After that I should also open my still sealed copy of Awakening that I got over a year ago. I suck at playing games.

Never sell anything besides equipment and when I say never I mean it, sometimes you know when you'll need it, most of the time not.

"Looks like we don't have a choice!" should've been the name for Pacman's trailer

 

[IAm2Sarcastic4U]

This is not at all related to the trailer, but something I have had on my mind since I started playing Xenoblade Chronicles.

Anyone else think Shulk is kind of cute? I guess it's because he is a little on the short side and a bit of a nerd. At the start of the game when he's around Reyn, I was like "O.O He's so tiny." But then it turned out that Reyn is just a huge beast.

No sis, Shulk is a STUD! Lemme gather my coins and purchase Xenoblade Chronicles just so I can play as this STUD.

The very sight of Shulk in goggles in nearly enough to make my ovaries explode. Is that what you meant by "cute"?

"Looks like we don't have a choice!"

Oh my God the sass. The Sakurai sass.

Huh? What sas---

"The game has been leaked. Pics have been shown. The fans want Shulk. Looks like we don't have a choice."

Ah.

What about Shulk in Speedos?

cause then my testicles shrink upwards into my body and become ovaries

When I got to Makna Forest, all I could think was "Gosh, I hope Shulk gets his jungle outfit as an alt in Smash Bros". I did NOT expect THIS, and am not at all disappointed.

 

[Altais]

Looks like the leaked videos are turning out to be true, not that it really surprises me; if they were fake, Nintendo wouldn't have been so quick to knock them off YouTube.

Anyhow, I am absolutely ecstatic that Shulk made the cut! When I came home from class, the first thing I did was check the Smash website to see if the Pic of the Day had been changed. When I saw Shulk on the screen, I literally jumped out of mine chair! I actually had to stop to breathe because I was just so overloaded with hype! I always thought the Guar Plains theme would be in Shulk's trailer, if he was confirmed.

Though he doesn't quite play like I thought he would, I think I will grow to like Shulk's fighting style, for it has an interesting and strategic gimmick. Also, I am glad they incorporated his Back Slash art in his moveset.

I have nothing to say to that

Don't you mean Two Shulks.

I know its trolling...but did you guys notice how Shulk seems to be the Antithesis of Robin? Robin changes weapons to match the situations - Shulk changes stats. Robin uses tactics - Shulk more of a direct approach (well, with his visions he can allow himself to be a bit sloppy...). Robin has short melee attacks + ranged specials, Shulk has long ranged melee attacks and no ranged at all (from what we saw, anyway).

Also Robin is an FE character without counter and Shulk isn't an FE character and has counter

 

[Hong]

Shulk has the coolest counter though, IMO. I like the sound effect.

 

[IAm2Sarcastic4U]

Let me find a Shulk mii on the internet and add him to my Tomodachi Life game.

 

[Booster]

Wouldn't it be awesome if Mii Swordfighters got the option to use the same swords as the sword characters?

 

[thecharizardf8]

mii shulk with monado.

 

[Booster]

mii shulk with monado.

Link Mii with Monado, Shulk Mii with Master Sword :D

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

I couldn't resist.

Especially after what the SSB4-tag has become in Tumblr...

 

[Morbi]

It appears that we got both Dunban and Riki were used thereby making that debate worthless. Haha. Congratulations, Shulk fans that did not bandwagon support him.

 

[Sabrewulf238]

Oh wow.....Shulk is really playable in smash.

This isn't like one of those weird Smash dreams where any second now somebody is going to post a newcomer trailer for Homer Simpson is it?

So very happy to see Riki play such an important role along with Dunban. At this point it would be nice to see Seven as an assist trophy. (Maybe a Reyn one if we get more than two) Overall the representation is better than I could possibly have imagined.

I hope we get a remix of Unfinished Battle and One Who Gets in Our Way. I loved those ones especially the latter.

Anyone else think it's kind of cheap that Shulk's leaked/official artwork is just an altered Little Mac? Glad his character model isn't the same way

 

[samsparta21]

 

[Cereal Bawks]

I'm surprised Reyn isn't in the chain-attack. Unless the summoned characters are varied?

Whatever, I'm just glad to see Dunban in HD.

 

[BoxedCookies]

This has been a grand day. So glad to see Shulk in Smash, leak or not. Insta-main.

Reyn could be an assist trophy.

 

[thecharizardf8]

this is the best morning ive had in a while. this is like year of xenoblade

 

[Youngster Joey]

this was the best character reveal so far. i finally have a newcomer to main! too much hype

 

[Hong]

The incredible Shulk could not be contained any longer.

 

[Cereal Bawks]

I kinda wish Palutena was in the trailer, or maybe even R.O.B. as a veteran reveal. But that fight with Marth and Link was pretty awesome, so I ain't complainin'.

 

[Fire Tactician]

Let me find a Shulk mii on the internet and add him to my Tomodachi Life game.

I'm adding him too- I just finished adding Chrom today while Robin and Lucina were last week. Geez, I can only fit about 3 more guys now if I'm limiting myself to 50 of each gender.

Wow, very interesting post, and I'm interested in playing as both of them (with an obvious favorite though). Between these two and my old Pokémon Trainer from Brawl, I have a tendency to pick some complicated characters up.

 

[BluePikmin11]

I hope this is localized, but for some reason, I'm not really counting on it, since lots of translation has to do be done to fit in the 3DS screens.

 

[Crome]

I haven't played xenoblade, but in the end of the trailer where the thing is foreshadowed flying overhead, (I saw it in japanese first so I had no idea it was talking) I thought it was the halberd, and it was going to do a Shulk + Mr.Game and Watch reveal.

 

[Rich Homie Quan]

Damn shulk got some booty

Let's talk about how Sakurai is the best person to have every existed. Purely because of the title of shulks reveal trailer

 

[praline]

It's Monado M-Friday?

 

[Youngster Joey]

dat metal face doe. my god that would be a hype boss fight.

 

[thecharizardf8]

foreal omg but what if he was playable O>O

dat metal face doe. my god that would be a hype boss fight.

 

[Kikkipoptart12]

after watching the Shulk trailer,I have something to say about Shulk counter. Does his animations keep changing because the counter looks different when he is fighting Captain Falcon and Marth?

 

[Vann Accessible]

Yawn... I'm just gonna wake up late, feed my dog, make some tea, see what's going down on the ole internets....

WHADAFAQ?!!

Shulk confirmed? Face same as the leak? New intro video?

You guys didn't wake me up from Crashbords?!

 

[Fire Tactician]

Maybe it is being translated and that's a reason why we're getting the game so late.

It looks like he mistimed his Marth one and sweet-spotted his Falcon one. He was idle for a bit too long when Marth attacked and said "A vision," as if he realized something would happen. His "I see it," when he hit Falcon could mean that he he properly foresaw the move and timed his counter perfectly- it seemed to be a much better hit.

 

[Sabrewulf238]

!

I just realised we're going to get one of those beautiful stained glass window fanart for Shulk.

I can't wait!

 

[SamTheMan711]

HELLO guys I'm finally back and I just wanna say congratulations to all you long time supporters shulk is in smash 4! I haven't been on in a while and some of you don't know me but I am officially back!
