K then. When it comes to Buster, it is quite literally a massive extension of the Monado for a single powerful attack. In Xenoblade, it does even more damage against Mechon, but since ROB and Mega Man are the only robots in smash, it won't matter if it did the same damage to all of them. In any case, Buster will be an extremely powerful and long reaching attack, but be very predictable. Shield is literally a shield. However, it only protects from talent arts, and it only protects once. It absorbs all but 1 damage, but in Xenoblade, 1 damage is less than nothing (max hp is 9999). In smash, it might last for several seconds, and nullify the first hit taken. Eater is an outward energy cone that inflicts bleed and removes all enemy buffs to enemies in front. Since there is no buffing in smash, only the bleed would be implemented, in the form of a flower on their head. Now for Purge. In Xenoblade, when performing purge, Shulk takes a short hop and sends out a green wave of energy not unlike cloud's neutral B (non-limit-break). Its purpose is to seal an opponents aura and inflict arts seal (which prevents an enemy from using anything other than basic attacks). In smash, if it hits, it could disable B button attacks for a short time. Perfect opportunity to knock them off the ledge and watch as they can't recover (one of my favourite strategies in multi-man smash). Tell me what you think.
