【SSBU】 Fundamentals of Shulk Guide - Monado Arts 

This is definitely the best Shulk guide i've seen so far! -However i'd like you to consider one thing. When explaining Smash Art you mention that the only thing it is good for is killing. While I agree this is its MAIN purpose, it actually can serve a similar purpose as shield when you are at low percents. Because of the increased knockback, at low percents it is easier to fall out of a combo when in smash art. This provides a low-risk way to break from combos early if your opponent does not adjust to the knockback increase.- Thanks again for the guide, looking forward to the advanced stuff! EDIT: WHOA! Just kept watching the video and you mention it! This is definitely the most thorough Shulk Guide and should be #1 for people wanting to learn shulk.

Awesome, well researched guide as always, I especially appreciate all the voice clips included from Xenoblade 1. Gives the whole thing a bunch of character and they're edited in very cleanly. Learned a lot, looking forward to part 2!

I love the extra bits added on to match the Arts being talked about. _Don't Worry_ for Monado Jump, all the Reyn quotes and _Visions of the Future_ for Monado Shield, _Our Paths May Never Cross_ for Buster, and _The Power of Jin_ for Smash. Can't wait to see what you do for Part 2.

I love Shulk in this game, and great job using the XC1 voice clips! Can't wait for part 2. Also, Smash monado is just hilarious to me now. fair deals like 3% and sends them a million miles away. It's like when some superpowered god just flicks a guy into the next continent.

feelsgoodman 21:52 was not expecting that

You know that one part in Xenoblade when Zanza says "the Monado's appearance is merely an illusion. Its form morphs to conform to the will of its master." I think Shulk actually upgraded the Monado to the Monado II between Smash For and Ultimate, but he just kept the form the same.

Shield when you're high, speed to be good, jump for a finisher at high percent, Buster during early game, Smash during late game.

please im desperate for part two this is such a quality guide

So this video has fun voice clips, music from all 3 games and is a comprehensive and very interesting guide. 10/10 from me, I'm subscribing and excited for more.

WHEN IS PART 2 😭😭

So good I could cry. The editing, the insights. Shulk is precious to you and I can tell. Thank you for sharing your talent.

Okay but what gems do I use?

OMG I was starving for your first Shulk guide! So glad you finally found the time to do this!

21:50 best cameo

You don't know how long I've waited for this video

Great tutorial my man, I've been maining Shulk for awhile and it's nice to know that someone summed up the basics in one clear and concise video! Anyone interested in maining him jump on the Shulk discord and learn with us!

I have been waiting for this for so long

Great guide! Looking forward to part 2!

Its so great being a Kirby main and also being able to learn from other character's tutorials. Even though I'm a bit late here, nice video, I love the way you explain the functions

This is a great guide to the Monado Arts!

PART 2!!!!!!!! I love shulk and I’m learning what I can with him.

You did a really good work on that guide, thanks for your time!

This video was one of the most helpful shulk guides I've seen! Any estimate on when part 2 is going to come out?

Gotta appreciate the music choice always being fitting.

This is an amazing guide, which is stated in far more length in the other comments, and rightly so. But it's been a while and unfortunately we still don't have a part 2. Maybe that's some content to think about. (i.e. combos pls and maybe a move guide as in when to use what)

Nice!! Probably gonna pick him up.

Great vid and extremely helpful!

This is an actual shulk guide. Good shit. Pragmatic.

I’m tryna understand it but shulk is such an insane character. Bout to watch some tournament runs of him

Alvis's mouth during the "let us begin" voiceline syncs better to what you added than what he was saying in that scene. Did you choose that clip on purpose?

I discovered that I enjoyed Shulk and wanted to get better. This is how I got better: - I played a lot of Shulk without using Monado arts at all, just getting used to his kit. - I would dedicate myself specifically to learning only one Monado art at a time. - This allowed me to get comfortable just playing his entire character. - I learned how each of his attacks works well with each art individually. - I learned that being "vanilla" can sometimes just be the better option. - I learned how to reserve my resources (Monado) a little better. - Also learning how much time I have with each art, etc...

Great video! Can't wait for part 2.

Very good guide, I can't wait for part 2! (But please crank the volume up next time, your voice is very low).

xenoblade X music YAY!!!

Loved the Xenoblade X music

wow this very detailed. turn up volume plz, also, some diagrams are more unnecessarily complicated than it needs to be, ty.

I'm a Terry main who is looking for a solid secondary and this video blew my mind with the possibilities shulk has. Definitely gonna be putting in serious shulk practice who knows if it goes well maybe terry will be the secondary since, shulk has a crazy good matchup spread and is sneaky s tier at least I think so but, that's just an opinion.

this guide is amazing

Are the voice clips really necessary? Abso-frickin-lutely

Hey bro. Part 2 coming out soon?

great video, hope you can give us a part 2 with advanced stuff, like combos, situational arts, and how to defeat projectile spammers

just subbed bro! please please please make part 2!!!!

“shulk is immune to being 0 to deathed” are you aware that ice climbers uptilt comboes into itself on shield art shulk?

Smash Art: _Power of Jin plays_ _Clips of everyone flying offstage_

im a little late but i love love love the xenoblade music used in this and the voice lines sprinkled in, i just love how every shulk main is a xenoblade fan haha... oh and the guide was pretty good too I guess :)

When second part?

thx

Was there never a part 2 or am I just unable to find it?

Absolutely loved how in depth this video was, but PLEASE speak LOUDER. i had to use headphones on max volume. Loved the video tho, keep up the great work. - new subcriber

"Continued in part 2" So this was all a lie.

Before 2019 end anyone wanna monado cyclone me

FINALLY

There is a REASON speed art is the same color as sonic

Second part?

Part 2 pls

Good vidéo

Would you recommend having tap jump on or off while using shulk? I was thinking about having it off because i could do short hop + n-air/f-air but I'm so used to having it on it would be a very difficult adjustment.

Need more monado

Bout damn time

RIP pt 2

Shoolk!

Part 2 pis ! Keep up the good work

Where's the next one?

Can you use Monado shield during Special Zoom’s, such as Finishing Touch or Rest? And additionally can you switch to it during hitlag and invalidate moves such as Falcon’s knee?

PART 2 PLS

Melia!

Damn part two bout to be long as shit lol

11:39 Mythra: :)

I think it's just bullshit how Buster now makes you take the same percentage of damage you inflict. While in Smash 4 it was much less. Some super armor for shield would be sweet. Not to mention the nerf of vision counter no longer goes through shields has screwed me over more than landed. That and Shulk feels super light and hits the blast zones earlier than last game.

I call Vanilla Shulk Neutral Shulk

6:38

Biggest sword (until late december 2020)

This is an excellently put together piece, though the audio clips of the characters quoting was a bit much.

TLDR land with nair all the time

Young link was at 0....

It’s arts, not monados. Why does nobody ever get this right?

Shulk is just thanos as a weeb

low audio wtf no wonder this has low views lol

Am I the only one annoyed by all the Xenoblade audio clips?
