Shulk Kill Confirms

[SpawnSean]

I'm not too sure if anyone has talked about this, but Shulk can true combo the first hit of Up-Air into Up-tilt. The first hit of Up-Air has set knock-back, so the Monado Arts don't effect its knock-back. HOWEVER if you have the Smash Art on, you can kill much earlier with the true combo. Sometimes when you hit the opponent with the first hit of Up-Air the opponent is sent behind you, but you can do a turn around Up-tilt or Perfect Pivot Up-Tilt to still connect the hits into a true combo. If you have the Buster Art currently active you can get some decent damage on an opponent. Another True Combo Kill Confirm is the first hit of Up-Air into Air Slash. Having the Smash Art on helps kill even earlier. Rage will also effect how early this true combo can kill. Hopefully this helps someone develop their smash game even further.

Hm… I need video proof on this.

With rage I see?
And this is Up air to Air Slash. This can be a quite risky combo if failed. But since most Shulk mains don't use Up air a lot this can be a surpise attack.

Up-Air -> Air Slash is pretty risky to be honest especially with rage, but it might be worth it if it all connects.

Up-Air -> Up Tilt is more worth it at higher percents and while in rage since it connects safer and is more guaranteed.

Yep

But can Up air + Up tilt really kills? With Smash arts + rage?

Yeah, this was known already. Since the first hit of up air has set knockback it also combos in to ftilt. Up air to ftilt true combos and might be affected by di (haven't tested it much) but up air to up tilt works at all percents regardless of rage or di.
