Heir to the Monado. Shulk General Discussion/Social Thread

[thecharizardf8]

I still cant believe hes confirmed for reason it feels unreal to me BUT OMG IM SO HAPPY I WATCHED HIS TRAILER 50+ TIMES ALREADY <3

 

[DaDavid]

I can't believe Reyn didn't say the "stuck in" line once throughout that video.

[Wow, 2 posts in a row I had to use this.]

Lol, oops. Didn't even notice it. Sometimes I get so pre occupied I just rush funny stuff I see xD

 

[Bosspon]

I'm still super hyped for Shulk. Not at hyper hype level, but falling back to super hype allows me to sleep. On that note...

So who is stronger, Shulk or Robin?

Honestly going to have to go with Shulk here. Robin can use a sword and magic, but the Monado is just too good. Unlike Robin, Shulk's Monado has no durability limit. And it allows him to see the future, which makes it nearly impossible to use a sneak attack or most strategies against him. The buffs could also throw off any sort of exacting plan Robin has and, even if he can account for those, Shulk can still see the future. Shulk's not a dumb protagonist either. These two are both nerds and their games both require strategy. However, while Robin has time to think out strategy in his game, most of the time Shulk is thrown into situations where he has to adapt his strategy on the fly. Straight up without using any of their endgame powers (because Shulk would auto-win) Shulk would win. He can close the distance and get past Robin's magic too fast and Robin's weapons have limited durability.

heres what I feel Shulk VS everyone else in smash = everyone in smash dead and shulk is the winner (jk)

lol honestly I feel they're gonna add engage the enemy as one of the stage themes what do you guys think

 

[DaDavid]

Shulk vs. Robin depends on a lot of little nerdy details honestly, but in most situations Shulk wins.

 

[Bosspon]

Anybody else remember when we were so scared of Shulk not being in that we kept putting of pictures of Xenoblade Miis just in case?

Those were the days.... that honestly can't compare to how awesome this week has been

Now i'm scared for Melia getting in in some way.

I know Mii Monado isn't even possible and this excites me.

Everything is possible if you try hard enough. the plan is to just have a massive red circle head with red as its favourite colour, and maybe try to put a symbol in the middle

 

[Fire Tactician]

Wait... can't the Monado not harm humans?

Hopefully in the Wii U version. The 3ds only has 2 songs per stage they said, so i'm guessing Gaur plains & You will Know our Names

Homs, not humans. It has to do with beings of Bionis, without getting into spoilers

Ah, I get it. Thanks.

 

[Hong]

Indeed. Try not to ponder such things, lest you want it spoiled. There is a lot to learn about the Monado and Xenoblade Chronicles.

 

[continuityOfficer]

It can't harm those of the bionis. humans aren't of the bionis, homs are

 

[FlareHabanero]

The whole "they're-human-but-aren't" thing has always been a pet peeve for varies sci-fi and fantasy media.

It's like, don't loophole that crap. It just looks lazy.

To be fair it was explained in Xenoblade

Spoiler

Zanza based them on humans after having destroyed his own world

 

[Mr. Johan]

Any Xenoblades enthusiasts want to enlighten me on why Riki had a normal sounding voice in Shulk's Final Smash, but a very gruff voice when saying "Get them, Shulk!" when Shulk was taunting at Gaur Plain? Is that something he just does ordinarily?


Also, gonna go search for Xenoblade tomorrow at the stores. Smash Bros. commercialism at its finest.

Generally he seemed to have a clearer voice when excited. I assume its because its harder to put on a voice while screaming.

Good luck.
You're going to need it.
ESPECIALLY if you want a copy under 40 Bucks.

 

[False Sense]

Totally random question, but does anyone else think that Shulk's head looks bigger in Smash than it does in Xenoblade?

 

[continuityOfficer]

Yeah, its also a little more round.

 

[Deleted member]

Yes, definitely on his artwork. I think that Shulk has a big head and a little body. I don't mind it at all to be honest.

 

[Cereal Bawks]

Yeah I think it is a bit bigger. I think it looks better, tbh.

 

[Hype Train]

He looks perfect.

 

[mark welford]

shulk vs. link vs. meta knight vs. marth. I think meta knight wins what is y'all opinion on this.

 

[Minato Arisato]

You guys talk about who would win in a fight and I'd say Shulk even though Robin is my favorite. But if you actually put those two in a room together, they'd get along very well.

Headcanon, lol

 

[Jae]

Well, as long as it looks fine, there's no worries.
At least his head doesn't look un-proportionate like this:

 

[Hong]

Shulk's proportions are indeed better in Smash.

 

[SkittleE]

Shulk's proportions are indeed better in Smash.

...Indeed.

Really though, I feel like Shulk's head is a bit bigger in Smash. It looks a lot bigger in his official art, but I think that's just because his head's at an odd angle.

I really don't understand what you guys are going on about, but whatever. Opinions, I guess.

 

[SkittleE]

I'm laughing so hard. XD

It's a bit more noticeable in his Sleek Oil art. Thankfully I was looking at it recently, so I have quick access to it. :b

But like, why would you even look at his head in this artwork when there's all this other goodness to stare at?

(I maybe kinda sorta see what you might mean... possibly? I dunno it still looks 10/10 to me).

 

[Hong]

I don't think I'll ever grow sick of that rendering.

 

[MooseSmuggler]

You posted that picture then said "head". Ohh myyy.

In other news, I can't stop watching the trailer. I'm still in that "surreal" state of mind. Oh, and my partner said my eyes were dilated all day yesterday. The hype was literally visible on my face xD

I know what you mean. Seeing those Shulk screenshots on the US site for the first time yesterday morning was the most excited I've been in years. My dad said he hadn't seen me that excited since I last believed in Santa Clause.

And then I had a second performance of that reaction latter on in the day when I got online during my computer class to see what else was announced, and found out about Xenoblade 3D. My best friend joked that if he had a recording of my reaction to the trailer, he'd be able to pinpoint the exact moment I began jizzing my pants.
