Social Shulk Social : Starting to feel it!

[AlvisCPU]

Oh, the actually match up of Luigi isn't hard at all, buster is a godsend in that match up with Luigi's already poor traction.
What I mean is my jealousy of his frame data. I still wish Shulk's jab was a little bit faster then five then he'd be literally perfect.

- Buster ftilts Luigi's shield
- Watch him slide across the entire field

I'm pretty sure I made a Luigi player go wat when I did that once.

Wow. Alright, so I was JUST about to win my first ranked set on Anther's Ladder (I won two games in a row and all I had to do was hit the WIN button) when the site goes down for server transfer. Fanfricken-tastic.

Hi guys

 

[AlvisCPU]

Busteeeeeerrrrrrerorerorerorerorerorerorero
Hi.

And with that, my procrastination is starting up again...

 

[Berserker.]

I'm so up and down with Robin

Sometimes, I do so well and other times, I suck really hard (edit) when I play as her

 

[Zensor]

I have experience of this matchup when I faced @XenoBrawler610. Nair is very useful to get in whilst they're using fireballs. You just have to space really well to avoid being grabbed.

It's a weird match-up in my experience.

 

[Berserker.]

I was talking about playing as her. Not going against her

 

[Solfiner]

I can use most of the cast relatively well, but Robin has always been very hard for me personally.

 

[Berserker.]

I only have confidence in Shulk in tournaments tbh. I'd have more confidence in Fox if I put more time into him

I use Zard for doubles tho. Mega Man + Charizard is the ****

You know which is the best partner for roy?
Of course another roy...

Jokes aside, I always thought shulk and wft are a good double team.

 

[Berserker.]

I don't know why but my natural instinct with Shulk is to attempt to bop anyone in my way

Anyone

That includes my teammate

 

[Solfiner]

I live in an area where tourneys are very rare, but if I could ever go to one I'd probably go Shulk, Lucas or Ness. Need to work a bit on my art cancels though.

 

[Linkmario00]

Technically Shulk+Kirby in doubles is the best couple you can do with Shulk. If 4vs4 become an actual thing (I hope so) imagine having 3 Jump Kirby that fly around forever lol. Or the insane combo they can do in Buster.

 

[Berserker.]

I think 3v3's are the best. I have an ideal team in 3v3's although I prefer to not use Shulk because of my natural instincts with him. Lol. Also, doubles/3v3's >>>> singles

GW is broken and OP in doubles tho

I gotta say, I DO enjoy doubles more than 3v3.
But singles? Singles are simply the easiest way to get the max out of your character.
Doubles help lower or worse character to do well, since a few moves have much more use now.

Kinda like in pokemon... VGC > Smogon all day.

 

[Solfiner]

I like singles the most, but I love doubles too. Don't know what to think of 3v3's honestly.

 

[Berserker.]

I definitely like singles for what it is and for what it does for myself and my perspective on Shulk and his potential, but doubles are waaaay more hype. Hungrybox going ham with rests like it was nothing. Holy ****

3v3 is more tactical imo and there are some hilarious exploits with it

 

[Linkmario00]

Yeah, probably 4vs4 is too confusional. 3vs3 is nice and better than doubles. My ideal team for 3vs3 is Shulk+Kirby+G&W. Shulk and Kirby for obv reasons, and G&W can absorb Kirby's Upb (I think) and use the bull**** tactic. If he can't, then the perfect team is Shulk+Sheik+G&W for me

 

[Berserker.]

Sheik+GW is so good, it's like Shulk is just there in the team for the sake of being a part of the team

Nothing is more hype than team combos honestly.

 

[Linkmario00]

Sheik+G&W is broken. I put in Shulk because it's my ideal team and I use him lol,but the truth is that Sheik+G&W+G&W is absolutely bull**** and broken because they can fill two buckets at the same time.

 

[Trieste SP]

Has anyone else have played XCX till the end?

I'm beginning to feel like I'm the only one here.

 

[S.F.L.R_9]

I don't play doubles too much but I definitely love them. It's a lot more fun and less stressful when you have someone else to cover you back, and of course team combos for d a y s. I really want to see more 3 vs. 3 and 4 vs. 4s in tournaments, it'd be really entertaining

or the console for the game lmao

I watched playthroughs on Twitch and visited other sites with brief translations to understand the general idea of the story on the first week it was released. I'm that impatient!

I don't have the game or the console either, I just played it at my friends place.

 

[Solfiner]

I can't wait for X. Not spoiled yet either thankfully.

That's good because you'll be disappointed if you knew the story.

I'm joking.

 

[Berserker.]

seems like a good 3-man team btw

Roy rushes in and dishes out a ****load of damage
Ike assists Roy primarily and does team combos with him
Shulk uses mobility arts or even buster to help them from time to time

RE: awkward characters: IMO are the most awkward to play.

RE: doubles: x. Disable x Back Slash, they can't escape! :D

RE: 3v3 or 4v4: I don't care.

Most of us live in not-Japan/not-near Japan.

Wouldn't that be ?

 

[KyroChao]

Been working on my shulk after a bit of a hiatus with him so im comfortable posting in these threads now.

Don't have much experience with doubles shulk, but i've been messing around in doubles lately with a pika main and its been amazing when something works. I find the Uthrow to an shulks up air or air slash to be pretty effective, and pika's aerials can help hold an opponent in place os set them up for something for shulk to bop them with.

Apparently Flamethrower against Lucas' PSI Magnet heals 100% in 3 seconds. GG.

Of course another roy...

Jokes aside, I always thought shulk and wft are a good double team.

I've got a friend who mains Wii Fit Trainer and Mii Gunner - we teamed up for a Doubles tourney once. I really agree with you here. Both of those guys have decent ranged projectiles, stuff like WFT's ball can be maneuvered over Shulk if he's in the way. In my unprofessional opinion, WFT/Gunner handles the long-range guys that Shulk can't deal with, Shulk can handle the close-range guys that I'm sure they probably struggle with, and both are excellent at mid-range.

Technically Shulk+Kirby in doubles is the best couple you can do with Shulk. If 4vs4 become an actual thing (I hope so) imagine having 3 Jump Kirby that fly around forever lol. Or the insane combo they can do in Buster.

They're a thing in my area! We've tested the waters and get about 7-8 teams per event, and have started working it into the Singles/Doubles cycle we do.
To keep things healthy and stop some really stupid strategies,

• No one team can have two of the same character.
• After Round 1, the winning team bans one character from both teams for the round, and the losing team bans two.

Initially I was hesitant at character bans, but if you really don't want to deal with G&W's bull****, or want to stop Ness and a projectile user from sneaking away and healing, then you can do that. I honestly think being forced to switch up characters and team strategies makes things more interesting.
There's so many great stories to come from stuff like this. In my team alone, we had a situation where an opposing high-% Ganon went to side-B to recover, and our Greninja accidentally Shadow Sneak recovered into it. Our Ness reacted and PK Fire'd him out of the Ganoncide. Even better, I got to see our WFT go 1v4 and win a few weeks ago.
Shulk is so great in 4v4. Shield will stock tank forever and Buster can dish out so much damage... though with so much range you've really got to be wary of where your teammates are.

It is most certainly as chaotic as it sounds, but it is incredibly fun. Talking to your teammates is really helpful, too. If you'd like to see one, this was the first one done in my area. No points for guessing which character I was. (Also this was 5 months ago and had slightly different rules, so I'm much better now I swear ;_; ).

In the first match I got Stock Shared by WFT at the worst possible time and then killed by them, but I'd gladly offer that stock again to watch them fight Link at the end again. So damn tense.
Whoever picked regular Battlefield for 8P Smash in the next match is evil.

 

[Pikalink]

I want to do doubles or triples so badly. But all my RL friends don't play smash. The only teams I can play is just with my online friends or FG(Which sucks really badly).

 

[Berserker.]

I remember using Sheik at friendlies

All I tried doing was f-air spam and needle spam. I was called a fraud for that

Lmao
