Social Shulk Social : Starting to feel it!

[erico9001]

btw that knockback increase is directly related to the % damage increase done

BUT THANK YOU FOR THIS LIST OMQ it helps a lot

Indeed, most are an addition of 7 or 8, which is proportional to the damage, except for Ftilt, Up B, and the grabs.

Ftilt is 136->134

Air Slash is only 137->138 (barley changed)

Grabs are all about the same knockback
Bthrow - 104->104
Fthrow - 98->99
DThrow - 111->112
Uthrow - 83->83

Anything else I'm missing?

Don't forget the bug where opponents could get out of F-Smash has been fixed. Previously, at certain distances, characters like Ike would be hit too far upwards by the first hitbox of the move (which does no knockback), to the point where the second hitbox would not hit them, but now this has been fixed and Ike is hit. ...Or at least it is vastly improved.

Guys, check the info dump thread. Important post there (sorta)

 

[Deathcarter]

Wtf. It wasn't THAT short

First Id~Purpose and now Engage the Enemy. This tampering with excellent songs makes my dislike of Sakurai's fetish for default two minute time matches all the more greater.

 

[Creo]

. . . Thought everyone here would maybe be interested in a small interview with Adam Howden about his voice-acting work, mainly in Xenoblade Chronicles and in SSBIV. Check it out!

Edit: Also, I'm not fond of Sakurai significantly shortening our glorious offer of XC's OST, but then again, there really is a lot I don't agree with Sakurai's person about (i.e. His online gaming policies, etc.), but whatever.

 

[S.F.L.R_9]

One of my top 3 Xenoblade songs shortened..
/more dead than pichus chances of returning
If the same thing happens to Mechanical Rhythm mfw sakurai why

The original track time is exactly one minute longer. It's probably looped at the second chorus, which is why it seems significantly shorter. So we miss the chorus in a different key with a slight variation near its end, and the ending.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think this shortening is kind of justified. It'd flow much better on-loop.

Speaking of Engage the Enemy, did I ever post this here...?
I transcribed it by ear (with help from a video and another transcription) and learned to play it earlier in the year.

... I only wish I were that cool.

 

[S.F.L.R_9]

That's super awesome. I took piano classes two years ago but.. yeah it just didn't work out. I do play the viola though and now I kinda want to make sheet music for Engage the Enemy and some other Xenoblade songs...

Am I reading this correctly? Life wishes it were as cool as me.

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?

If you look in my video description I've got a link to my transcription and also the other sources I used. Use it if you like
I also transcribed parts of the Main Theme, Gaur Plain, Snowy Valak Mountain and Beyond the Sky (which turned out alright), and parts of Unfinished Battle, Tragic Decision, Mechanical Rhythm and You Will Know Our Names (which didn't turn out quite as well, due to my ear not being good enough to write it correctly).

I usually end up writing things out, playing practising them a bit and then put them into the boredom or 'too hard' baskets.

Dayum, that's nice. Gonna grab the sheet music myself and see if I can play it as well. What did you use to transcribe the music?

Not sure if you've seen Anjoola's arrangements, but they've done the Main Theme, Makna Forest (night), Beyond the Sky and Memories. I can't link because I haven't... made enough posts..., but sheets[dot]anjoola[dot]com

I've played the Main Theme, but trying to play all 3 parts when it's designed for 2 pianos is hard lol.

I used MuseScore. It's like a free, less-user-friendly Sibelius. It does what I want it to do, at least. 80% of the time. (I often have to do a lot of manual fixes when it comes to slurs.)

I think I did come across Anjoola's stuff at some point, likely used it to assist with some of my attempted harmonies when I tried writing Beyond the Sky.

I kinda wanna tackle one of the Agniritha pieces, or While I Think... one day.

Also, this guy.
You Will Know Our Names sounds better than expected on piano.

 

[Berserker.]

Wait nope lol

Some xenoblade x info

 

[Life]

Ah, Musescore. Good times. I used to use it before I had to switch to FInale for school purposes. (I don't really recommend it. Gonna try Sibelius when I graduate.)

 

[Hokori]

Hey Monado Boys/Girls. Just letting you all know that I'll be back in action. I'm less busy and my health has improved, so I have more time for you all

Anyways, I'll be getting myself caught up with the recent patch notes and thread updates I need to make over time. I'm definitely looking forward to picking up Smash Wii U soon though!

 

[Exceladon City]

Hi Shulks, I'm determined to learn this piece of weebtrash and I need to know if there's any frame data hanging around this character board. Halp?

 

[Jae]

Who here is getting Smash Wii U digitally? I'm curious.

 

[FlareHabanero]

I need to wait a bit to actually use the Wii U, so either way I can't play anyway.

Also, "Shulks"?

 

[erico9001]

Sibelius is great!! There are so many key shortcuts you can (should definitely) use, and the features are quite extensive. Idk why a teacher would make you use Finale... Is it Finale Notepad?

Idk what you mean exactly but here's frame and hitbox data for all characters http://pastebin.com/PzTjdtx8

Long story short, one of our professors literally writes the Finale manual, and it's installed on all the computers we have. Transferability is good (though I haven't needed that as much since freshman year).

 

[Burgundy]

Smash Wii U is out everyone(At least where I am), get hyped! I'm not getting it now as a) I have no money, b) Pokemon takes priority. But come holiday season I'll be Smashin in HD! .D

 

[AlvisCPU]

I've not used Finale, but I know that Sibelius was quite nice. Didn't really appreciate how good it was until I started trying MuseScore

Because Smash is out in the US, it's going to be hard to visit Smashboards, I'll end up sad.
I guess Pokémon will hold me over until Saturday...

Awesome, there is a trophy of the Bionis!

Yeah, I'm trying to learn my way around this awkward character. His normals are so...basic. I don't know how else to describe them. Though, I do like combat-walking around the stage. Any tips? I've been of the idea that Smash mode is a good starter. You just treat Shulkiepoo~ like a glass cannon and make the most off of hits. By the way, I find Shulk to be so generically bishi that I have to make fun of him.

Shulk isn't bishi, he's so manly he puts Captain Falcon to shame /sarcasm

If you wanna see some super good and ~manly~ Shulk gameplay check out some videos of Trela on Youtube. Welcome to the Shulk boards btw ;;

 

[Exceladon City]

Oh, Trela plays Shulk Hogan? In there.

 

[warriorman222]

Today on eventhubs, Shulk went to the worst character, then the best, then in 5 minutes plummeted to 25th. At the time this comment was made, WFT was in 3rd, Shulk in 25th, Jr in 40th and other crpa like that.

Uh, ok then. What is wrong with eventhubs?

Their voting system means there will likely be wild
fluctuations until a lot more votes come in.

In time it will probably look similar to 3DS tier list.
...You are talking about their list for Wii U right?

 

[Kiyosuki]

It's because it's a voting system yeah. The Wii U one just came out, and 1.04 is itself still relatively new so there's going to be contention for a bit.

He's in 12th now. One way or another, he has by FAR the biggest tier-gain of all the characters by a huge margin so whether he places potential high tier, amongst the top, or at worst the upper reaches of mid the 1.04 patch' improvement of the character is definitely showing no matter what.

Remember too, this is just preliminary data and basically glorified theory crafting using matchups almost exclusively (you can log in and vote on an individual matchup basis), actual tournament results and placings can make an enormous difference as well and that hasn't happened yet.

Edit: Well he had the biggest gain until now at least, Diddy surpassed his gain with a 22 gain, with Shulk in second at 14 but that's for now...although it makes sense as people are just now really starting to realize how good Diddy is. I wouldn't take this too much to heart until things settle down a bit.

Lol Event Hubs

 

[Kiyosuki]

Sanic 2nd place. lol

Can anyone check if Shulk is any different in the Wii U version?

Is there anything specific you'd like us to check or just his buffs?

Damage is still the same.
Not sure how to measure the range but if there was a nerf then it doesn't seem to be too noticeable.
Here's some comparisons: https://imgur.com/a/e7KCz

[SneakyLink]

After playing Shulk for a bit, I have figured out I want to main him.

 

[Aggyyu]

Haven't been on here for too long... But I uploaded Part 3 of Shulk and Friends commentating the Smash Wii U direct!
