Spoiler: MAJOR Xenoblade Spoiler

Fancy meeting you here, Mr. Bond.

 

[erico9001]

I put Xenoblade back in and it did not take long until I was in a battle, tension got high, and Shulk said, "I'm really feeling it." This is not a criticism, but I noticed he says it so much more enthusiastically in Smash.

Well, to be fair, the quotes Shulk say in Smash better suit Smash, the quotes he says in Xenoblade better suit Xenoblade's story/style. This is especially apparent in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iz6_HrZ1pYY&list=UUTX5ibe-ThP6RcWzXdkyIjw
My favorite part is when he says "A vision...I see it" in such a Monotone voice. XDDDDD

Completely agree with everything here. Including the "A vision...I see it" bit

 

[LordTakeo]

Huh... I though myself of making a banner, but then again... I'm as good at drawing, as I'm good at shutting up.
*staring at Hokori's glorious banner*

Long time no see

 

[Sui]

Today is my bday and I got Bayonetta 2. YOOOOOOO

Hey, I got Bayonetta 2 today too. I continue to be impressed with Amazon US's ability to ship things to Japan so quickly. Expected delivery next Wednesday? No problem, get it 6 days faster than we told you. I spent all day at work thinking about my training plan for Shulk today, and I get home with a notice that I missed a package. Second attempt at delivery an hour later, and I basically had to play Bayonetta instead of Smash. I was hesitant about believe all the hype for it, but I am pretty damn impressed so far. >.> Surely Shulk will wait a few days while I finish it. >.>

 

[Burgundy]

Don't worry, we'll keep Shulk occupied while your witching.
And forming a plan to steal the game from you.

I've been trying to do n-air to Monado arts L-cancel to MBuster F-smash. I got it to work once but it's so difficult to execute without a c-stick. Going into d-tilt or jab combo is easy obviously. You don't even need Monado arts L-cancel for that.

Also, following up to MBuster F-tilt is greeeeat (Over 30% racked) but damn it's difficult (Did it on training mode and got a "2" hit combo). My thumb is soar right now.... ;_;

Still, I think all of you guys need to get used to doing this. Not only is it great for racking up damage if you connect the aerial but you can use it to bait or punish. After the Landing cancel, you can instantly use vision/power vision (lol) or if they try to grab, use f-tilt or d-tilt (Depending on certain conditions). Doing it on the 3DS version is honestly really difficult. Can't wait for the GC controller

It doesn't end there

Once you cancel your landing lag, the following move you'll do can vary depending on which art you're using. It's up to you yet again

Wow, didn't think of using MA Cancel for that and only have been using it for bair. I do nair combos a lot too so this sounds like it has a lot of potential uses. Thanks for sharing.

Totally meant to mention that. Yay for Chuggaa!

Hey, I don't want to seem like I think I'm on professional level or anything like that, but I've started Part 2 of Shulk Commentates the Wii U Direct, and here's one of the skits: http://picosong.com/fNSr/

Just posting this in case people are interested. (Ignores the fact that Dunban would be in a lot of pain after this, but meh )

Also, I'm so glad that Chuggaa's back! I can't wait for him to get to the end of Valak Mountain, though that's a while away going by the end of ep. 41.

 

[Burgundy]

I can't for him to just get to Valak Mountain. That place is so pretty~

The more i see of the amiibo's in action, the more excited I'm getting for them. At first it wasn't too amazing, but it looks like they'll be a lot more fun to train with than regular CPU's. Hopefully they don't muck up the Shulk amiibo.

Any tips for when against a Diddy Kong that loves to grab, shield, banana, and f-air?

 

[Burgundy]

Don't ask me. I cry too much when I see a Diddy to actually do anything.

U-tilt or run for your dear life from monkey flip

Grab on shields

Space like hell

Use the bananas

U-tilt

CP Rosalina

Just keep your cool and don't go... bananas

 

[Berserker.]

If you want me to be srs,

Hyper arts

Power vision

The one mistake I did against that Diddy was switch back to default Monado Arts

Oh my, someone else except me is playing conception 2? And even master-waifu Serena? Goooood choice.
Also, diddy is something really really horrible. I only once somehow managed to keep him in attacks and attacks he couldn't evade that well, until I was able to finish him off. Then he came back, and ended the rest of my two lifes q.q

Yeah I alternate between her and Fuuko but you should have an idea on who I prefer more lol

I don't run into Diddy Kongs too often but man my last couple of matches against one were really not fun

 

[Solfiner]

Here, have a tsundere Mumkhar.

You are very welcome.

Why?
Why did you put that image in my mind?
WHY?

I now officially ship DunbanxMumkhar
Best otp.

Oh god... this image is burned into my head...
Quick, look at my banner to erase it! (And your critisim is desired)

So this Annabelle movie

I can't sleep. I don't feel like sleeping anymore. I hate horror movies

Well, I guess... since ben drowned, this image is relevant to all of us.

 

[S.F.L.R_9]

So I'm not the only one freaked out by horror movies. I watched Alien with my friend a few weeks ago and she's like "this is so cool!" and I'm just making this face through the entire movie

Spoiler: Image size

So with that, have a happy non spooky Halloween to all of you

Spoiler: Image size

I think the last panel is everyone's reaction to Dunban x Mumkhar

Clearly, Dunban restored his HP somehow.

But... does anyone else absolutely hate the horrid abundance of "kill monsters, get x number of items" sidequests in Xenoblade? The few quests that get you cool story bits and foreshadowing are all well and good, but most of the time you're just grinding NPC affinity and exp to eventually get to the good parts, and unlock extra skill trees, more trade items and Monado Arts, and not get stomped by bosses because you're so underlevelled that max-Agility Dunban can't even hit them. I guess I was just spoiled by Mass Effects 2 and 3. Not 1, though. That game's sidequests were almost as budget as Xenoblade's worst ones. Honestly the only reason I haven't quite beaten it yet.

Funnily enough, Phantasy Star 1's starting grind was incredibly satisfying for me, though. Probably that old game honesty, and actually having an excuse for that kind of padding. It's not nostalgia either, I first played that game recently.

The Pumpkinado!

Are you going to use Monado Eater on it?

Your avatar. Vivian james. Gamergate?
Also, Sidequests ARE boring. I know. But it's still better than to just grind, without quests.

Heh. Pumpkinado.

I managed to make it through the entire game hardly touching the sidequests at all, honestly. I just picked up as many as I could, then killed monsters on the way to my next story objective. I only really managed to complete the generic quests. I've recently started a gajillionth playthrough where I actually care about sidequests.

If you're having trouble with a boss, try changing your party members.

 

[N7Kopper]

I'm not really having "trouble with a boss" so much as I want to get those new skill trees and Monado Arts. Maybe I'll try beating the game first, though - maybe you're right, and I'm just being too much of a completionist.
Grinding I don't mind so much. Combat is fun, unless it's too easy. Maybe I'm expecting MOAR STOREH and not getting it, and that's leaving a negative impact.

Just be glad that you don't have to go back to talk to the characters for the majority
of the basic side-quests.

Dark Pits officially stepping down a peg on my main list for Kirby. :o I have a hard time killing with DP and kirby just feels more natural.

Also, power vision is SO FUN against Mac.

This German video has a few new stuff in it. At 9.46 you can see Shulk's victory screen and at 11.40 it shows Engage the enemy is a song on Gaur plains, still hoping for unfinished battle. Sorry if any of this is already known/been seen.

Lol you edited the link in right as I was about to post it.

Eitherway, yay more Engage the Enemy. And they're using the original version. I guess that means the one from the Direct is part of the Xenoblade Medley.
