  • Shulk is a little bit different between each game. Honestly this video is basically a Shulk fan-cam.

    Also there's no way to remove the music in the cutscenes from blaring over the audio, so I tried my best to mix everything.

    my headcanon for why shulk has this goofy confidence in smash and why he says “now it’s shulk time” is because he’s actually really nervous to be in smash so he’s pretending to be like reyn for confidence.

      I mean, he saw his loved one get impaled by a giant machine with a recognizable face. If it was anybody else, he would go to their funeral and carry on with his life, but because it was someone he was close to, he changed for better or worse.

    Shulk is just a really interesting & great protagonist. Most JRPG protags seem to devolve into mary sues, and gameplay wise they are always jack-of-all-trades or frontline tanks/dps.
    Shulk is different. His entire kit is based around someone else having aggro, he can't utilize half of his kit if a monster is on him. He's essentially a rogue/assassin.
    Yeah, he has plenty of badass moments like those in the video, but those moments stand out because a lot of the time he is actually pretty vulnerable. The party is constantly saving him.
    Xenoblade was a very different, refreshing JRPG to play back in 2010, and Shulk was a pretty decently sized reason why.

    Similar treatment with Ike. Just play his games (FE 9 and 10) and tell me where he "fights for his friends".
    He wants revenge for his father's death, leads an army to liberate his country and proceeds to cut down a goddess. The friendship thing is just subtext.

    The reason why Shulk is happier and goofier in Smash, is because he got lots of threapy for his various traumas gained from the war, and ha a good support network.
    Smash helps him get used to post war life, by giving him an outlet for fun, non lethal fighting, since it would be difficult for him to go back to a simple peaceful life, after becoming such a killing machine.

    So, it’s sorta like how in Smash, Captain Falcon is a campy over the top fighter who shouts a lot where as his F zero self is more of a stoic Batman-type figure.

    I think Shulk deserves to be a bit silly in Smash after everything he's been through.

    Awesome video. You should upload the shulk compilation without music maybe so we can hear it better. I know the background music will be cut, but I think it would be easier to hear the voice acting

    I have a theory that Shulk in Smash is him immediately after going to extremely potent anger management and therapy classes.

    It’s crazy to see how strong Shulk got. From that first fight with Metal Face, to his return to fight the Telethia. Kinda crazy.

    Smash's greatest sin was not having Territorial Rotbart as a possible stage hazard on Gaur Plains

    I always wondered why they make him so "happy flower" in smash when in XC its much more serious and mature (and more at the end of the game, when he forgives someone :O)

    My friends: "Why do you play Shulk when you're better at other characters?"
    Me: "In my head there are two versions of me. One of them is saying that."
    My Friends: "And what about the other one?"
    Me: "It keeps shouting, 'MAKE THEM PAY!' "
