User blog:KirbiMiroir/Shulk's New Moveset!

Okay, I have a new moveset for Shulk, the main protagonist of the most overrated RPG to ever make its way onto my favourite 8th Generation Handheld of all time. Masahiro Sakurai, if you're reading this, PLEASE put this in the next Smash. Thank you.

Returning Attacks

Monado Arts now has ten different arts - five of these are buffs, whilst the other five are instant actions. The colour listed with each one is what colour is associated with it (this colour being shown on Shulk and his Monado Blade when the ability is used).


 * Buster (Silver): Shulk extends the laser blade on his Monado Blade and launches an overhead slash.
 * Shield (Orange): Shulk holds the Monado Blade in front of his face for a second. If timed correctly, this move will block Melee attacks and reflect projectiles.
 * Purge (Green): Shulk launches an upwards slash. Less damage and range than Buster, but causes enemies to trip.
 * Eater (Black): Shulk launches an overhead slash. It's not as strong as Buster and has a shorter range, but deals more damage over time.
 * Cyclone (White): Shulk launches a spin attack that damages enemies on both sides.
 * Enchant (Purple): Shulk boosts his attack power in exchange for lowered launch power.
 * Speed (Blue): Shulk boosts his movement speed in exchange for slightly reduced attack power and jump height.
 * Jump (Light Green): Shulk boosts his jump height in exchange for slightly reduced defence and movement speed.
 * Smash (Red): Shulk boosts his launch power in exchange for reduced attack power.
 * Armour (Yellow): Shulk boosts his defence (a combination of how little damage he receives and the durability of his shield) in exchange for slightly reduced movement speed and jump height.

Airslash and Backslash are unchanged asides from dealing more damage.

Stream Edge

Shulk's new Down Special, replacing Vision (TBH I hate counter attacks). This attack's effect is based on what Monado Buff he has up. Look below for the effects!


 * No Monado: A sword slash that launches a light blue shockwave forward. Similar to Cloud's Blade Beam.
 * Speed: A sword slash that launches a blue shockwave forward. Faster than without a Monado Art, but not as powerful.
 * Jump: Slashes the air, launching a light green shockwave upwards.
 * Armour: Drives the Monado Blade into the ground, launching a weaker, yellow shockwave left and right. If used in mid-air, Shulk will dive downwards, launching the shockwave when he touches the ground. The mid-air variant will damage enemies who touch the Monado Blade, and Meteor Smash them.
 * Smash: A sword combo that launches three weaker, red shockwaves forwards.
 * Enchant: A sword slash that launches a purple shockwave forward. Deals more damage, although the shockwave more slowly than other versions of the move.

Shaker Edge

Shulk's new Final Smash, replacing Chain Attack (you need two weirdos from your own universe to annihilate someone? Learn what independence is, Shulk). Shulk greatly extends the laser blade on his Monado Blade, then slams it into the ground. He then swings the Monado Blade, releasing shockwaves.

Interestingly, when the first part of Shaker Edge hits another Smasher, they will be dazed and will receive no knockback. This is likely to leave the characters hapless to the second part of the attack.
