Social Shulk Social : Starting to feel it!

[ParanoidDrone]

Ohh so that's what that was. I saw Shulk with a symbol in the target blast and was pretty confused. Nice find

I can't take credit, I just found it on Reddit. Thought it was relevant.

 

[zippy3214]

Xenoblade Medley. Yes. Where is the game? My life is incomplete yet again.

 

[Burgundy]

I swear when Mewtwo was revealed I really wanted the Announcer to say:
"MEWTWO IS A TROPHY IN BOTH VERSIONS!"
That would be the day the internet died.

The internet would be dead, riots would be happening across the world, it would be utter chaos.
Also, just a friendly suggestion, but you might want to change your profile pic. With spoilers and all. The image does look nice though.

 

[spiderfreak1011]

Lol, that Reyn reference.

Given the fact that Mewtwo is taking until Spring to be released, I'm assuming he was added in late-development. I guess millions of people whining for years is enough to get a character for Smash.
Didn't work for Ridley though HA.

Mewtwo wasn't added late in development, he's DLC, he's not part of the main game. They can take as long as they want with DLC fighters. This gives me hope though, Lucas and Wolf have a chance to FINALLY COME BACK, THANK THE LOOOOORD. I'm so happy now. Even if we have to wait until like late 2015, i'm still glad there's a chance they can come back (especially Lucas). Now if they don't bring them back...That's a different story. But if they're doing this with Mewtwo, i think Lucas and Wolf will be back.

Alright, I did. It's not Shulk, but my Pittooey is just as cool. :3

Sweet Baby Jesus Confrontation with the Enemy is in the game.

IT'S ALL I EVER WANTED

This, i was so eccited to hear this. Although, i get the feeling that this remix of Confrontation with the Enemy might end up being in the Xenoblade Chronciles Medley. Also, 3DS songs are gonna be in this game...Mechanical Rhythm confirmed for Gaur Plain?

Also, dat Metal face, can't wait. :D

 

[S.F.L.R_9]

The hypest part of that entire direct for me was all the Xenoblade stuff and not Mewtwo
oops

Prepare for the rage. XD

 

[relaxedexcorcist]

It probably is just part of the Medley, but I don't care as long as it's in the game. Mechanical Rhythm is probably on the Gaur Plain

oops

Thats because Mewtwo's a scrublord

 

[Burgundy]

Mewtwo DLC is definitely fanservice, but Lucario get out of my long list of secondaries that's Mewtwo's spot now.

 

[MooseSmuggler]

Of course it's fanservice. It's something the fans wanted and makes them happy. There's really no better way to sell the game. I don't see how this type of fanservice is bad...not like a character is getting sexualized. It's a completely good and logical move.

 

[Berserker.]

Direct was purty good

SHULK USED N-AIR AT THE START OF THE VIDEO HOLY **** JAIPOFJSKLAFJS

 

[yoonb]

Well, it's been a while. School has caught up to me, but anyways.

On the topic of the direct, I really liked it. Smash Wii U is looking amazing, and the Confrontation with the Enemy remix blew me away.

 

[Berserker.]

The C-stick is gonna be given to us and no more back slash SD's thanks to the GC control stick

We can now DACUS, retreat with f-airs and actually use f-air more. It's mostly about f-air for this one

 

[PhilosophicAnimal]

Sorry for the late reply... usually people don't respond to me on message boards.

I'm a bit worried about the protagonist too. I don't think that Monolith Soft will have trouble integrating him (or her) into the story, but it won't feel the same to me. I like Shulk since he was a fully developed character and as such you can relate to him; a customizable character could remove that. I am really hoping for this character to be like Robin from FE:A; only his looks are customizable, but he has a personality of his own that you could relate to.

Yeah, you pretty much summed it up right there, better than I did. I'm more about experiencing someone else's story, rather than pretending it's my own. That way, it's more like the character becomes like a friend you meet and grow close to.

And as far as him being like Robin, I can almost totally guarantee he will be. A silent protagonist wouldn't work too well in a voice-acted story. The only problem is the name... Creative writing could dance around it, but like I said it could be awkward. Pretty much all of these problems could be avoided if they made his name set, though...

So Xenoblade was able to push Mother from being your fav. RPG series? Hmm, interesting. Well, i guess i'll find out when i finish Chugga's LP(whenever he finishes), since Mother's my fav. RPG series as of current.

The Mother series (earthbound, specifically) will always hold that special place in my heart as the first traditional RPG I played. But, I just couldn't ignore the awesomeness of Xenoblade... They are very, very close. If I could rate them both #1, I would. Xeno probably only gets first because it's more recent...

 

[Berserker.]

What really got me though was the massive use of Xenoblade and Shulk in the direct

and 8 player ****ing Smash. 8 Rosalinas *******

You know how chaotic that would be if Ice Climbers were in?? That's 16 controllable characters on screen, all at once...crap.

I can't wait to see Shulk's full Palutena conversation... I can just see them shooting Xenoblade quotes back and forth. So great...

Still waiting on that Snake DLC, I love the Kid Icarus characters a ton, and I mean a hell of alot, but I won't be able to listen to theme without thinking of how Snake could have had a CODEC message just as good as one of their conversations. But yeah I really hope I hear Palutena say "I'm really feeling it!"

 

[Berserker.]

Notice how Shulk keeps using buster art in the direct

It's like they're telling people, "BUSTER'S AWESOME. USE IT A LOT *******". I'm starting to feel it though with buster. Basically, the best way to use it is out of monado arts cancel when your up close and you can initiate the damage racking with a grab (B-throw or f-throw). Open with n-air, swap/l-cancel to grab

Edit:

Shulk got slightly buffed from the 3DS version. Just kidding. It's just something about knowing which art you're using. Now, you don't have to guess while you're off screen

Pay attention in this part from 18:12-18:18
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0BBGzfw0pQ&list=PL2JiZAV5BmDVhHUNup7tkA2N7zwAFcFjG

You can know now what art is up even while you're cycling

 

[FlareHabanero]

I wonder if there is other character specific HUD details, like Lucario's aura or Robin's tomes. We BlazBlue now. I never found problems with how they displayed the Monado Arts in the 3DS version, though I guess it doesn't hurt to make it more obvious.

 

[Wintropy]

So I'm not gonna lie, seeing Metal Face in HD was a major highlight for me in the 50 Fact Extravaganza. I don't even play Gaur Plains very often and I'm not terribly pushed either way about boss gimmicks - but wow. He looks gorgeous. I can't wait to see that crazy son of a gun in action.

And since we're sharing art and everything, I tried dabbling into this.

Protip: Metal Face is REALLY REALLY difficult to draw.

Protip the next: I still REALLY REALLY enjoyed drawing it.

Metal face is so awesome, he's even better in Xenoblade.

 

[Burgundy]

Metal Face is a cool character, but the second he starts talking his identity is so painfully obvious.

Has anyone else downloaded the Harmony of Heroes album? (The Fire Emblem remixes omg). They did a fantastic job on it.

 

[Berserker.]

**** back slash yet again

B-air is great for punishing characters using projectiles

 

[S.F.L.R_9]

Spoiler: Xenoblade spoilers

I saw on Youtube in my suggestions a while back "death of Metal Face (Mumkhar)" but I completely forgot who Mumkhar was from the beginning and I still didn't get that the Faces are Homs and basically had nothing spoiled about his identity

The one time my bad memory comes in handy :^)

Even if it is, every scene metal face appears is awesome.
A lot due to how good his voice actor is & how much of an asshole he is.

 

[Berserker.]

Hm... Whelp. Wario is going to the same boat as Robin. Only fought him once

But Peach... Jesus.... Um... Peach is nuts. I mean, she's good in this game. Really good. I'm not saying it's anyone's favor or anything but play defensively. I avoided using jump. Her floating attacks can wreck hard. Crown, n-air, b-air and freaking d-air. ESPECIALLY B-air. It's so good here for some reason. Maybe it's because Peach floats and b-air's range is ridiculous. Jesus. At least it feels great to counter her crown attack. You're better off letting her come at you. No, seriously. It's miles better with buster/shield. Capitalize on grabbing, u-tilt, f-air and n-air for spacing. Any opinions or tips may help as always. This reminds me of the Jiggles match up a bit

Also, for like 2 matches in a row, she pulled out Mr. Saturn then in the next one, she had a wrinkly turnip. ffs

Edit: Speed is fine though

Speed seems like the key for pretty much any match-up, where nair isn't that good, or projectile spammers.

 

[Berserker.]

B-air is ultra legit though against Peach... When she's floating to be specific. It's efficient whether it's spaced or not. Same goes for u-tilt. It's really good ****.

I barely used n-air in this one. Countering her crown attack is pretty much how I got majority of my KO's.

Also, I tried to use air slash to recover back to the edge but because of how huge our range is, it was long enough to hit Toad then I got knocked back then I was too far -__-

So ledge snap guys. Make sure AS ledge snaps.

Also, I used buster 99% of the time against her if anything

Well... they certainly could have more than 4 Xenoblade songs on the Xenoblade stage (xenoblade medley, you will know our names, gaur plains, mechanical rythm). Remember in the direct how many songs each stage had? They show that battlefield has at least 8 tracks. The electric guitar Gaur Plains and the Confrontation With the Enemy could be their own songs.

Indeed. I have been using it even though people in this forum have been saying it is bad. It's great for when you have momentum; when you don't, turn it off.

 

[Berserker.]

Not sure if I said it was garbage but if I did, my mistake then.

My only thoughts on buster are...
1) It's not working as intended
2) It's a momentum art/wild card
3) It's your best defensive art. I only realized this now. If you're gonna stand your ground and let 'em come at you, use this art

 

[Solfiner]

I'm not sure if any of you noticed, but One who gets in our way was also confirmed when Metal Face showed up. I'm ONLY going to play Gaur Plain, srsly.

I wonder if it plays only when he shows up.
Also, did anyone else notice that he DESTROYS THE ****ING STAGE?!

 

[Jae]

so when is Xenoblade HD coming

 

[LordTakeo]

so when is Xenoblade HD coming

After Xenoblade 3ds I guess.
Packaged with Half Life 3, and the remake of Majoras Mask.

Spoiler

Also... vote 4 Bayonetta as DLC?

 

[Jae]

Hopefully they don't only let the song be played when he appears.
I'm praying that the song will be choose-able via My Music (which I'm sure it will be)

 

[Solfiner]

I am completely sure that One who gets in our way will be one of the songs for Gaur Plain, instead of it just playing when Metal Face shows up.
