- 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 - เกม

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

What if you turn off the BGM?
"Chronicles"
Shulk in Smash: I'm really feeling it
Shulk in Xenoblade: The only thing I'm feeling is pain and suffering
that why he on vacation smashing
Why does no one talk about what Dunban goes through
@@kittycatopal they all go through some real mess
Melia entered the chat
That you caused the emperor and FIORA!
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.
This is literally the cutest shit wait-
I can see it. When he says things like "the future is ours to decide" is when hes in the zone just being himself
Hedcanon:
Smash Shulk is Shulk mimicking the personalities of his entire crew to steel his nerves
@@Soulbone3 sounds kinda like DunDun though
this is so adorably in character help ;u;
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.
And in Xenoblade it’s Xord who calls Shulk Monado Boy, not MF
@@mdm_topplelock It's been a few months, but I think both call him Monado boy. Xord does it first, but Metal Face does it afterwards as well, if I'm not mistaken.
@@Indomavel2112 i believe he does on prison island ( beat the game yesterday for the first time so its still fresh on my mind)
@@mdm_topplelock Metal Face does call him that, you sure we're playing the same game
@@mdm_topplelock actually xord merely calls him boy. Metal Face calls him Monado boy. Top of bionis bottom of alakazam mountain MF calls him by name then in sword valley back to Monado boy....I may have beaten the game a few times....
Also no one gonna address how fuked up in the head metal face is at colony 6 when u exit the mines and he says that.....I mean seriously...that line enrages shulk but also a first time player as well.
Shulk in Xenoblade Chronicles: Shulk
Shulk in Smash Bros.: Reyn
Accurate.
ITS -REYN- SHULK TIME
Ah yes, the shulk here is made out of shulk
Then again;
Shulk: Right as Reyn!
Reyn: Haha good one Shulk.
What a bunch of jokers
I'm convinced this is just a recruitment video to get smash players to play xenoblade and I wholeheartedly endorse it.
You found me out!!
And it works
I mean the only reason I played it is because of smash
It's working.
@@CaptainAstronaut it worked
To be fair, I'd be concerned if he was this bloodthirsty while fighting Mario
Good point
Mario: it's-a me, Mario! Wahoo!
Shulk: DIIIIEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Shulk: Gets Smash Ball.
Shulk: You will know *P A I N A N D S U F F E R I N G .*
Mario: Mamma mia, what the f%$k.
Imagine if his sword had the same range too
@@agiantgummylizard69 The Smash Attack that Broke Time
Shulk according to smash players: Violence is never the answer.
Shulk according to xenoblade players: Violence is the question. And the answer is yes.
Shulk's impression in smash: I'm really feeling it, now it's shulk time!
Shulk's impression in Xenoblade: if you in any way shape or form impede my progress, I will murder you in cold blood, rob your corpse of your valuables, figure out the location of your allies then go after them too.
Violence is not the answer. It is the solution.
@@themonkeyman2910 The final solution.
@@deathcon6261 the first solution
I mean not really. When it comes to the point shulk always pussies out in his game. Metal face was the perfect example of that
Okay, but memes aside, can we all take a moment to appreciate just how much soul Shulk’s English VA puts into his performance?
He's just as angry about UK politics on twitter. It's magnificent.
His name is Adam Howden, he’s a fucking voice acting god
He's got the Screams Of Pure Rage on the Level of Sean Schemmel as Goku and Liam O'Brien as Asura has...
He is just phenomenal. Normally I switch my games to Japanese when I have the option but missing out on Shulk's brilliant performance? That would be a crime.
@@JJKMagic He’s the one who made me switch from Japanese to English actually 😂while playing the game I got an ad on TH-cam of it, heard him playing Shulk, and immediately changed the language.
The funniest part is that shulk went from a campy mechanic and scientist to this in like 2 days.
Friendship ended with Demo man. Highlander is my new best friend
I mean, he saw his loved one get impaled by a giant machine with a recognizable face. If it was anybody else, he would go to their funeral and carry on with his life, but because it was someone he was close to, he changed for better or worse. What makes fiction extraordinary is how it can emulate realistic emotions while maintaining those fictious elements and Xenoblade Chronicles writing is a fantastic example.
@@misterzia01 I know, I never said it doesn't make sense. It is just conceptually slightly funny that the character people remember him as is as recent as "we literally see it happen in the game" inuniverse. The way smash portraits him is not even that wrong, just timeline wise a bit scuffed.
Shulk had been studied the monado for one year
to be fair the monado itself was also fueling his agression
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*
I love the reference
MasterTJT 56 have you ever, been a mechon?
@@antimatterstudios8395 mayhe
MasterTJT 56 have you ever attacked a Homs colony?
@@antimatterstudios8395 nope
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*
SMH, Shulk being Robophobic
Maybe Palutena would give him more flashbacks than the robots
Shulk when fighting Palutena: Today, we use our power to fell a goddess and then... SEIZE OUR DESTINY!
@@dantelawrence4676 you know shit’s about to go down when the kanji for “God” appears on the Monado
Mega Man: Stop, I am not your enemy. This fight should never happened, Violence isn't the only solution.
Shulk: Wait...You talk?
Mega Man: Yes, I'm not just a machine and I'm not like them. In fact, I want the same as you
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.
YOU WILL KNOW THE PAIN AND SUFFE-
@@rhettmitchell YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR INSOLENCE!
There might be another factor as to why he isn't bloodthirsty in Smash.
Zanza's not in control.
But he still has to fight Metal Face though
@@TheEmperorHyperion That too.
Too true. It's amazing just how many people have a completely wrong impression of Shulk because of Smash.
It’s pretty funny but I like it
That's almost every character lol. Look at how angry Mario looks in smash

He definitely ate a Snickers before joining Smash.
Shulk during cutscenes: *dodges and blocks everything and saves his party members with the Monado
Shulk in gameplay: "you don't have enough party gauge, you can't tell me what to do" *entire party dies

Shulk in gameplay: Lul, only one person gets speed
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.
If you actually think about it most rpg protagonists are ultimate BADASSES who kill universal-multiversal gods!

Xenoblade is awesome. Why do think shulk got added to smash
Oh hey, figured you would show up here-
@@tiki-nagasvoice7919 What a coincidence
Ironic that hes virgin in a game called smash
Chady Shulk is in Xenoblade Chronicles (Wii) with more mature faces of characters...
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"
Then they get really confused when the Galeem shows up after you decide to spare their character on their last stock.
I actually had a similar situation.
You should have just told them... You 'felt' like it..
No? Anyone?
@@seranrevere865 I'd say that regardless.
@@seranrevere865 I could day u were really feeling like it
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.
He is also interesting as a character as well. Going from a dorky scientist to a character that has a desire for revenge to realizing this desire is wrong and having to adapt as well as change his initial world views as his beliefs are being challenged.
A take based off his gameplay mechanics. That's interesting.
Well I would argue a reason of why Most JRPG protags are tanks/DPS is because the start of the story a lot of the time has you on your own. Imagine trying to play the beginnings of any dragon quest as a priest like character. Also Shulk is also considered Dps.
@@BZK_-wf8kk Tbf, Rogues/assassins are a dps type class, more specifically, glass cannons. Which Shulk is.
@@DarthTalon5 I mean shulk isn't the tankiest member of the party but... he's not Melia levels of fragileness. But I agree with the other points made. I just think the game is settled into three types of members. Support/DPS/Tank.
Smash: i'M rEaLlY fEeLiNg It!
Actual Game: Killblade Chronicles: Shulk's Revenge.
You've made something edgy
YOUR PAIN WILL NEVER END
He does say "im feeling it", like, every moment
@@amitaish1055 But don't get careless!
But we mustn't be. Careless.
I mean revenge is basically the whole plot if you rly think about it
@@amitaish1055 he never once says it in the 10 hours of base game cutscenes, and in the battles only one of his arts has a 33% chance of triggering that voice line. Hardly "every moment".
It’s like the Anime vs the Spinoff game
If actuall shulk was in smash and not just the payed actor. He could be way better...
@@n4n196 Y'know this may be me, but if Smash ever DID bring back Subspace or somethings similar, they better make Shulk into the Xenoblade version of him. I mean, If you can make Luigi, Ness, and Dedede being in a group after the world basically ended look cool, that means anyone can, right? Shulk, with the way he is in Xenoblade, hell his SMASH 4 TRAILER, makes that idea, while never going to happen, so much better.
Its like revolver Jesus in persona 3 vs Revolver Jesus in persona dancing games LOL
vegamanHD117 Well in the game he doesn’t really have much personality. It’s more like anime vs chibi shorts.
Well... it kind of is the anime vs the spinoff game in a way...

Shulk during XC1: *_Chaotic Screeching_*
Similar treatment with Ike. Just play his games (FE 9 and 10) and tell me where he "fights for his friends".
He wants revenge for his father's death, leads an army to liberate his country and proceeds to cut down a goddess. The friendship thing is just subtext.
THANK YOU. Finally, someone else said it.
I mean... leading an army to liberate your country is, by technicality, fighting for his friends, assuming his friends also live in the country they are liberating
@@thatnick967 ye
The greil merc cutscene in RD was so good
@@thatnick967 But Ike himself never voices it like his SB counterpart. If you've never played FE9 and 10, you'd think he's some sort of My Little Pony character.

Luigi’s Yoshi actually i think in one of his videos there was a small easter egg that he DIDNT like Xenoblade 2 but it was very easy to miss
How did you tell?
@@wynautvideos4263 Xenoblade 2 was different but okay. I watched gameplay but I still want the game, it doesn't have the same emotional story like the first one did. But I do like the silly characters and the world building.
@@mastertjt56 I’ve played 1, 2 and X. I must say that my favourite is 2, the story and voice acting are excellent. You’re right that the mood is less depressing in 2, but that’s not a negative for me.
This video is basically 90% of Xenoblade Chronicles. The remaining 10% is just the suffering of Melia.
Smash Shulk: Clunky, sluggish, not that quick to combo
Xenoblade Shulk: Rolling, jump, slash, ducking, acrobatics
Have you even watched high level Shulk players?
@@ejiro8061 Have you seen his frame data? But yes, Kome is my god.
@@umasylphyn894 In Smash 4, you'd have a good point. But his neutral B is pretty much the best move in Smash Ultimate. And he's decent without arts.
@@ejiro8061 I main him in Ultimate but compared to the rest of the cast he still isn't as fast, that's the joke.
@@umasylphyn894 no actually compared to have the cast his tilts and smash attacks aren't slow but not fast his aerial attacks go brrr tho
This video is but a small look into how Smash portrayals of characters can leave out so much in order to fit a representative in the game succinctly. On a positive note, I do appreciate a good Shulk fan-cam.
ff fans: he just cloud.
xenoblade fans: he actually sephiroth but angerier.
*looks at Jin*
Yeah he’s Sephiroth but depressed
He's sephiroth but british

Normies: SIDE TAUNT x 10000
Fun fact, in Japanese the taunt it "That doesn't sound good." - something Shulk would say in response to a quest.
And yes it got old fast.
It's also why Shulk does somewhat of a talking animation when he taunts.
@@miimiiandco.8721 Yeah, it's a real shame the original taunt was so different. It would be my go-to taunt if the animation wasn't so boring!

@@Abysslover91 Now where is that from?
@@twilimess Fire emblem three houses
Much as I enjoy the "super angry and suffering Shulk" jokes, we must remember that Shulk by the end of the game was a lot more chill.
Not to mention that... (SPOILER FOR XENOBLADE CHRONICLES. IT'S A GOOD GAME, GO PLAY IT!)
...Most of his bloodlust was likely fueled alot by Zanza himself residing in Shulk's body. No wonder he became more chill once Zanza left his lifeless body!
Aka a solid 5 minutes of the best screams in gaming history.
Good to see Shulk “AAAUUUGGHHH” his way through everything.
After finishing Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive edition, Shulk's voice actor sounds WAY better in his actually game. Take the "I'm really feeling it!" quote for an example. The comparison is just... sad.
2:07 "Heropon Ricky on vacation. Hom-hom, do Ricky's job!"
XC is such a beast. Smash Shulk is basically trying to give everyone a hug.
Doesn't that mean its end-game Shulk?
Oh no, the Smash cast are screwed.
Smash Shulk is a surfer dude. XC Shulk is like a bounty hunter.
@@Twilord_ nah.
Well Shulk is a pretty chill guy if he's not in front of his worst enemies
So basically Adam Howden is a fantastic voice actor
Damn. I never realized how much I needed a montage of Shulk straight up being a badass until now. Thanks for this vid
okay but really shulk is actually just a big phat nerd as well. everyone literally talks about him obsessing over parts n shit
Shulk is just neat man,
Everyone forgets that Shulk is easily one of the most violent protagonists in recent history. He outclassses literally every other character and villain in his game through sheer force of action.
"In the absence of passion, vitriol is the only acceptable substitute." - SsethTseentach
My favorite part of this honestly is the one out of context line at prison island where Shulk tells a one armed Metal Face that he’ll know (the) pain and suffering (of the emperor and Fiora). So incredibly violent. 💀
Ive heatd that "backslash" is the mating call of shulk mains in smash
BACKSLASH
\
As a Xenoblade chronicles expert I can certify that fact.
It only occurred to me recently but Shulk in XC1 just outright tries to commit genocide and is willing to do it singlehandedly if he has to
This is just an Adam howden scream Montage
I see no problems with such a montage
Shulk in Xenoblade: War-torn badass dead-set on avenging his people and ending the millenial war between Bionis and Mechonis.
Shulk in Smash: Hello m8s time for an mlg shulk montage innit 69 lol nice
The reason why Shulk is happier and goofier in Smash, is because he got lots of threapy for his various traumas gained from the war, and ha a good support network.
Smash helps him get used to post war life, by giving him an outlet for fun, non lethal fighting, since it would be difficult for him to go back to a simple peaceful life, after becoming such a killing machine.
The prodigal armor set is so goooooood
I'm fine with Shulk being a meme in Smash. My problem is not his funny lines though but his model. It looks so wrong.
the only buff shulk needs is his model
Him and female Pokémon trainer look like frogs
Yeah he looks much better in DE than Smash but that's because they adapted his original design in Smash.
Ikr? On the victory screen he looks so cursed...
His victory screen is the embodiment of DeRp
As someone who hasn't played XC but really liked playing Shulk in Sm4sh, I didn't know he was actually so badass. That's neato.
You should play xenoblade, it's a masterpeice of a game
Shulk in Smash: Disch ish da Monaddos pouwa
Shulk in Xenoblade: Y'all like war?
Shulk in Smash: This is a good result.
Shulk in Xenoblade: *screams and shouts at machines whilst fighting like a badass*
And that's why Smash doesn't do him justice, he's not just a meme dude who's "really feeling it"
The only things he's feeling is pain and bloodlust
I know this is old but man I first knew of shulk in smash I didn't like him he seemed eh too me XD just a meme surfer dude....I eventually gave xenoblade a chance expecting. Too dislike it but shulk really was different then what I expected he was cute at first then well damn I just wanna hug him now and melia/dunban
He was so overjoyed to get in to smash that he got over his PTSD. Made props Master Hand (or whoever send out invitations).
Shulk is calmer in smash bros ultimate then he is in xenoblade
I mean, sort of. It is more like he is 'bipolar' in the actual game than anything, so when he gets angry, he goes all out. On the flip side, you definitely see that calmer and more light-hearted side of him a lot throughout the game.
Pomeranian Warfare how is he bipolar.... you wouldn’t be clam if you seen your childhood friend getting killed in front of you or seeing the future of people dying that could happen at any moment ?
@@brazyfever787 Mate, why do you think I put the quotations around the word? I am not saying that he literally has some sort of bipolar disorder -- not even close. It was just used figuratively to suggest that he has a lots of ups and downs in his mood throughout the game.
Lmao this is beautiful.
The immediate cut from happy Shulk in Smash and "This is a good result" to Shulk screaming "I'LL KILL YOU" over the angriest sounding OST in Xenoblade Chronicles is a perfect display of the tonal dissonance between the two games.

That's monado speed for you
Xenoblade was before Dragonball Super even began
@@Kladyos and? Did I imply that wasn't the case?
Underrated part at 3:56 with Shulk and Melia lol
The 3 clips tell a story
I never released how much Shulk screamed in Xenoblade lol.
Xenoblade is mostly a revenge story, and that's a nice change of pace from most other JRPGs
If you liked the revenge plot, I highly recommend Tales of Berseria. It's also a blast to play, while also having a great main party.
Shulks voice actor in Xenoblade is PERFECT, he captures every emotions and makes the game so much more *alive*
I like the sheer contrast of how someone can see him as a jolly optimist who had a grand destiny thrust upon him by a magic sword and is a bit of a jokester when in his actual game he's a complete badass who has seen some serious crap and experienced a lot of pain and tragedy.
I would just like to inform you that in Smash we are playing a Corpse, wielding a Sword that can't cut people.
It can after a certain story point.
@@saltyralts Not that specific sword, though.
@@saltyralts And even then he never actually kills a person with it
*Your Blade, It Did Not Cut Deep Enough.*
Actually it can't cut Bionis intelligent people, so it can cut mekons and animals of bionis, but that specific sword can cut Smash characters, becouse they aren't of Bionis. Other thing will be another Xenoblade 1 character or a Shulk ditto (but dittos are strange to explain)
Admittedly it's kinda unfair to judge Rex based on Shulk, because Shulk is a great character with a phenomenal voice actor.
As for Shulk in Smash it really is hard to portray the many aspects of Shulk in a few lines... so yeah, taking the meme route is definitely much easier lol
Yes same here
Honestly i feel Rex is a great protagonist, even compared to Shulk, but his Voice Acting is so fucking terrible it kills his entire character, he also has some of the cheesiest lines in the whole franchise, but otherwise? Fucking adore his character arc and how he interacts with the rest of the party
I will never stop appreciating Adam Howden's voice acting and this video has all the evidence why
I love how shulk is so cool in custcenes and then you remember the actual fighting...
Everyone: Why isn’t there monado jump in Xenoblade? It’s so cool
Shulk: 2:22
Fiora...... She wants his head....
She’s whispered as much to me.....
The “that’s Dunban over there” for some reason made me laugh so hard
You using the Monado II during late game cutscenes too avoid spoilers is a great move dude, nice video
Smash: Sun, sun sun. I’m having so much fun!
Xeno: He’s the doomslayer’s cousin
In smash a memeable force of nature
In xenoblade A FUCKING DEMIGOD POWERHOUSE CAPABLE OF ANYTHING HE PUTS HIS MIND TO
He really mellowed put after he moved out of that 2-person housing complex huh.
So, it’s sorta like how in Smash, Captain Falcon is a campy over the top fighter who shouts a lot where as his F zero self is more of a stoic Batman-type figure.
There's such a huge gap in the amount of chill shulk has between him in smash and him in his own games and it's freaking hilarious
I mean, a guy whos watched all his friends die in visions knowing he could change it, yeah, he would be hardcore
also i gotta finish this game, i literally stopped the video cuz i knew i would get spoiled HARD
Not even just the story mandated ones. What about future tags? So many of them
alternate title: shulk being a badass for 5 minutes straight
My friends: "Why do you play Shulk when you're better at other characters?"
Me: "In my head there are two versions of me. One of them is saying that."
My Friends: "And what about the other one?"
Me: "It keeps shouting, 'MAKE THEM PAY!' "
I always wondered why they make him so "happy flower" in smash when in XC its much more serious and mature (and more at the end of the game, when he forgives someone :O)
I have a theory that Shulk in Smash is him immediately after going to extremely potent anger management and therapy classes.
Smash's greatest sin was not having Territorial Rotbart as a possible stage hazard on Gaur Plains
Shulk in Smash: I’m really feeling it!
Shulk in Xenoblade: *screaming, murder, screaming, pain, screaming, suffering, MORE SCREAMING, M O R E M U R D E R*
This feels like seeing the later seasons of GX for the first time
It’s crazy to see how strong Shulk got. From that first fight with Metal Face, to his return to fight the Telethia. Kinda crazy.
I remember being ecstatic at Shulk's inclusion in Smash, but after seeing what a meme he became in Smash, it just felt so wrong. Doesn't help that his face looks weird in Smash.
When Shulk says "I'm really feeling it." in Xenoblade, he says it with determination, like he's in the heat of the battle. Smash Shulk sounds like he's doing something explicit.
Xenoblade Shulk is really feeling the flow of battle. Smash shulk is really feeling that dick up his ass
Shulk’s English VA in Xenoblade Chronicles has no business being so good
I think Shulk deserves to be a bit silly in Smash after everything he's been through.
Having played both games extensively, I'd say it's pretty silly to expect a crossover party/fighting game to accurately convey the depth of the protagonist of a 100+ hour JRPG
Yeah but we could have used more of the "I'll kill you !" instead of the "I'm really feeling it."
As someone who first knew Shulk from Smash and then just recently played Xenoblade for the first time... LOL YES, I was shook when virgin boy suddenly became a badass
