You know what I thought was weird? Shulk's stance, dash and jump has the Monado is its sheath. Standard swordsman logic clearly states that when a swordman is in a battle, they keep their sword out in order to use them quickly.

I don't play Xenoblade so I don't know if he does this sort of stuff often, but I still find it weird.
