Ever wondered what a character's best control scheme would be like? In Paradigm and Erico's latest video, they investigate what the optimal control scheme for Shulk truly is.
In the video, Paradigm explains the control schemes of top Shulk specialists Nicko, Darkwolf and TremendoDude. On the other hand, Erico goes over uncommon yet recommended control schemes. Throughout each option, interesting changes like Tap Jump-enabled make an appearance.
For an advanced character like Shulk, the techniques discovered over the course of competitive Super Smash Bros. for Wii U have been essential in keeping him viable with the rest of the roster. Community-sourced techniques like the Monado Purge have provided his fans with options they normally wouldn't know of.
Shulk's versatility is an amazing tool in the right hands. Developments in his meta-game have allowed dedicated specialists like TremendoDude to place high at large-scale events. With an increased input barrier with every technique learned, however, his control options should have the ability to compensate.
"We hope that this video inspires Shulk mains to reflect and think critically on their controller scheme choices," Paradigm says. "What might be convenient to them now could be holding back their own potential performance. A little extra effort now goes a long way!"
