Shulk in Smash Bros VS Shulk in Xenoblade Chronicles

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.

Music Used:
Riki The Legendary Hero - Xenoblade Chronicles OST
Mechanical Rhythm - Xenoblade Chronicles OST
You Will Know Hour Names - Xenoblade Chronicles OST
Main Theme - Xenoblade Chronicles OST

There's no way to remove the music from cutscenes, I checked in all the options menus, so I tried my best to mix everything.

Also, please no spoilers in the comments! (Even though there are spoilers in this video WHOOPS

Shulk in Smash: I'm really feeling it

Shulk in Xenoblade: The only thing I'm feeling is pain and suffering

[luketatum]

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.

Metal face in smash: MoNaD0 bOy
Metal face in Xenoblade: My claw slid through her soft flesh; like a hot knife through butter. Her screams were music to my ears.

Shulk in Xenoblade Chronicles: Shulk

Shulk in Smash Bros.: Reyn

[christianboustani]

To be fair, I'd be concerned if he was this bloodthirsty while fighting Mario

[olderythia]

I'm convinced this is just a recruitment video to get smash players to play xenoblade and I wholeheartedly endorse it.

Shulk according to smash players: Violence is never the answer.
Shulk according to xenoblade players: Violence is the question. And the answer is yes.

[heeho]

Shulk: have you ever wondered what it’s like to be dead?
Mechon who was just Vibing: no
Shulk holding the monado: *would you like to*

[Ahsoka_Hyrule]

Okay, but memes aside, can we all take a moment to appreciate just how much soul Shulk’s English VA puts into his performance?

[Hi-Im-Gib]

Shulk when fighting anyone else: Now It's Shulk Time!

Shulk when fighting Rob and MegaMan: *YOU WILL KNOW THE PAIN AND SUFFERING YOU CAUSED THE EMPEROR AND FIORA*

[lpfan]

The funniest part is that shulk went from a campy mechanic and scientist to this in like 2 days.

[krissjames]

Too true. It's amazing just how many people have a completely wrong impression of Shulk because of Smash.

[TheGingerIsNoGood]

The only reason why he's overly happy in smash is because he doesn't have to endure the pain and sadness that he has to go through in the plot of his own series.

Me: *Starts playing with Shulk in smash after playing Xenoblade DE*
My friends: "Why did you start playing with Shulk"
Me: *Trying not to spoil anything* "I think he's neat"

[ShadowRules]

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.

Shulk in Smash: Let's all have a good time and have fun.
Shulk in Xenoblade Chronicles: I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!
Shulk in XC2: Um where am I?

[NoperKSKx]

When you compile the action scenes like that... and play mechanical rhythm in the background (instead of the usual engage the enemy that those cutscenes mostly have playing), it becomes much more apparent how much of a relentless badass Shulk is, holy crap.

Smash: i'M rEaLlY fEeLiNg It!

Actual Game: Killblade Chronicles: Shulk's Revenge.
