Looks like I found my new profile pic XD
Honestly, Speed Shulk IMO is more than enough to deal with Captain Falcon. Buster helps too. Although speedier characters work better against CF, Speed/Buster Shulk can work good enough due to his range and disjoints.Sorry for the double post, but I have an issue.
I dunno what to do against speedy characters, characters like Captain Falcon and Fox. Shulk is practically combo meat for those two. In fact, I fought a good Fox and I gave up when I only did 33% damage and he KO'd me. I fought a good Captain Falcon, but I didn't switch to Shulk at all and instead stuck with Luigi because he kinda handles Captain Falcon better (his neutral air can get him out of his combos).
So my fellow Shulks, how do I fight Captain Falcon and in particular Fox? The Fox I fought grabbed me and u-tilted me to no end.
I know that feel bro. You just explained my current opinion regarding the MA.
I'd like to chime in on this briefly, maybe give my own personal thought or two about the matter. . . Take note of this, though: It's fine if you disagree, because I'm speaking of my own agenda. Also, the base stage of most of this testing was on FD, and some BF.
Personally, and I've been doing my own testing on this for a week or two now, I opt to rarely use, if at all use Buster against notably fast characters (such as C. Falcon and Fox). I feel it's far more detrimental than advantageous in the scope of things (naturally, I am referring solely to high-level play here, and nothing less). . . Shulk just doesn't seem to have (i.e. He doesn't) the mobility nor the frame advantages over these types of characters for Buster to do its business. Keep in mind that I've the mindset that Buster should be mainly utilized as a spacing tool to begin with, aside from getting good reads or setting up safe strings, so even when playing that kind of game of which I find to be ideal (and believe you me, my spacing is not under-par), it just more often than not seems to leave me at a disadvantage. Shulk is basically combo-fodder in the air, coupled with Busters increased damage output and input. . . Generally, the faster characters are fairly good a stringing attacks due to either their speed or their attack properties in general. I've started to find the most success by making Speed my priority MA, as well as utilizing Vanilla Shulk while Speed is on its cool down. Shield and Smash are utilized solely for their main purposes (to survive and to kill), and personally I still don't really believe in the usage of Jump at the moment, aside from situational recoveries and / or gimps if necessary. Again, this information has been conducted from my own personal testings and experiences, as well as its basis being based upon my personal playstyle. . . Keep in mind that everyone expresses their own character differently, so preferences may differ. But yeah, I'm a believer in Speed and Vanilla for these types of match-ups, more-or-less. Remember that it also matters in how the match is playing out, as well as the stage, etc. Things are situational, but I don't have the time to go in-depth about that at the moment. Anyhow, I probably won't be getting into any deep discussion about this myself, but everyone else can feel free to do as they so choose.
It's a good thing we have mechs and skip travel otherwise we'd never be able to get anywhere
Oh snap! Here we go, everyone. Some new Xenoblade Chronicles X information right here!
- Planet Mira is 400 KM ^2, making it 5x the size of XC's world
- Takahashi recorded around 300 hours on his own playthrough
- There will be some online interactions, but not in the "traditional" sense
- Combat is more fast-paced than XC
- Etcetera. Just check out the article. Ha.
But yeah. . . 300 hours. Yay!
- Takahashi reiterated that while Xenoblade Chronicles X is a game from the same lineage as Xenoblade Chronicles, it is not a sequel to that game—hence the “X” after the title, instead of a “2″.
My guess is, is that is indeed a "sequel" in the vain that the entire Zelda series is a "sequel". Mira is the same world as the Bionis/Mechonis only changed(because of some stuff that happened in Xenoblade Chronicles). That is the reason we have Telethia and the Nopon in the world, and some eerily familiar land masses and structures shown within it's trailer and general world. So it isn't a direct sequel, but it is in the distant future from the original Xenoblade Chronicles.
What are you playing at, Monolith?
Please nothing too much..... For a JRPG of this size it would totally ruin the immersion.... HW, I like Amiibo support, Smash, hell yeah, Codename Steam, go for it, Fire Emblem, I am fully open. Just stay away from Zelda Wii U and Xenoblade Chronicles X!Is anyone hoping for amiibo functionality for this game?
I was thinking about having the amiibo summoning a special boss based around the character where you can fight a giant Donkey Kong or Bowser. That would really make my wallet drop.
I was thinking about how the amiibos can be used to unlock costumes for certain characters. For example, a Kirby amiibo will unlock a Kirby costume for Tatsu and the Samus amiibo will unlock a Samus costume for Elma.Is anyone hoping for amiibo functionality for this game?

I would look at it like Final Fantasy

Ughghghhfff the 13th can't come fast enough. Shulk... QoQ (Well, I got my Pit today, at least!)Found these pics in the amiibo general thread.
Shulk does not look derpy. It was simply an effect of the small image size (called it btw!)
Also, 2 new characters introduced.Holy Crap
GUYS. THE XENOBLADE WEBSITE UPDATED.
http://xenobladex.jp/index.html
Seems like Japan is getting the Xenoblade Soundtrack with the preorder of Xenoblade 3DS... This better come to the states!
Lmao. Everyone is a descendant of Shulk.Also, 2 new characters introduced.
A guy who looks like a military general with a scar on his chin, and a guy who has blonde hair and green eyes that remind me of...Shulk and Fiora. His hair especially looks like Shulk's, in terms of tufts and color, not neccessarily hair style. Coincidence?
Also, notice his stance:
Looks familiar...Kind of like this:
Coincidence? Or Takahashi trolling us out? : 3
Also, used google translate to see the descriptions of the 2 new guys on the site.
For the guy who kind of looks like Shulk, he's affiliated with Blade (obviously), a member of the Corps and is under the leadership of Elma and Irina, who are his his superiors. I think he wants to...be treated better despite being younger and may have some feelings for Irina.
As for the other guy with the scar, he was the original captain of the White Whale (or as google translated it, Moby ****, lol) and military secretary in the current government of NLA, and strives daily to deal with his daily affairs and protect the people.
If it's far enough in the future, you could end up at a point in time where everyone is a descendant of Shulk!Lmao. Everyone is a descendant of Shulk.
Welcome to Reynoblade ChromShulkles Shulk.
His eyes look a lot bigger and more like he's having a Vision than mine do. Maybe it's just the lighting. His eyes look pretty standard on mine - you can't really tell in my pictures, take my word for itFound these pics in the amiibo general thread.

I'm planning to name my Shulk amiibo after that character, will probably just run Shulk's second colour since it's white. Close enough.Wonder if we'll see any custom shulks. I think blue Shulk may be doable.
Though, there's lots of different paint colors you would need.
All of the smash bros alts seem too tough... except Reyn. Looks like you just need black, brown, and orange..
Actually, this would probably the best one:

Chrom...Lmao. Everyone is a descendant of Shulk.
Welcome to Reynoblade ChromShulkles Shulk.
For all we know, we could all be descendants of Shulk!If it's far enough in the future, you could end up at a point in time where everyone is a descendant of Shulk!
I need this amiibo so badly!!Haven't been here in a while. Looks like some weird stuff happened. A raid? Anyway...
As of a few hours ago, I have two Shulk amiibos. (Don't panic - one to use, one to keep boxed. I'm not scalping them.)
He's pretty good as far as these go. Not too derpy, colours seem about right. Though The Monado feels a bit flimsy and it doesn't have a transparent pane in its hilt.
No complaints though. Shulk's in Smash Bros. He has an amiibo. It's awesome.
Edit:

I've heard that remix before. It's absolutely incredible!Not a Shulk main, but I do quite enjoy Xenoblade.
You've all probably seen this already, but a really nice cover of You Will Know Our Names! http://youtu.be/KJsWEY6PGVQ
See speaking of Fire Emblem I've never gotten why Chrom and Lucina consider it so important that they're descendants of Marth. Like, okay, sure, but it's been two thousand years. There are probably hundreds of thousands of Marth descendants walking around.Chrom...
The descendent deserves more than a Monado and a world full of Avalanche Abaasys.
It's probably so we don't have bad dedicated healers like Sharla :-PI changed the title of the thread again
So, looks like healing is no more in XCX. I can dig that, I guess
