This was amazing. As a huge Xenoblade fan I was hoping you'd just make fun of the side taunt once and then move on, and you did. The clips are great, the editing's hilarious, and I loved the inside jokes from Xenoblade. Also +1 for using my favorite Shulk quote, "The future doesn't belong to you!".
AlpharadTV Xenoblade has got to be my favorite Nintendo game since the SNES, it's nice to see people that have actually played the game talking about Shulk instead of people who only know the god damn memes.
AlpharadTV I tried playing Shulk myself, and though I don't really like him that much (Too many buttons, not enough killing), I had never actually heard the side taunt in person. I think it was a brown note...
Simon Barr nearly all of shulk's moves are kill moves with the smash art :P most people who dont play shulk correctly have their problems lie in not using arts.
Respect to you, Alpharad. You and I were talking about how Shulk being one big meme is awful, and I knew this would be great. You DEFINITELY proved that, and I loved how you teased it at the start. Great work, you truly make the world a better place.
How to be a monado boy: don't play xenoblade, use only the naked skin, spam the meme taunt How to be a real Shulk main: Play Xenoblade all the way through (or at least try or watch an LP), use the skin that matches your favorite party character (Dunban), and always remind the enemy how fucking powerful the Monado is (down taunt). Sadly, 90% of Shulk players are the first group
shulk time was a really bad taunt,it should be "smash you up" like Brandon Anderson (ShadowMark3) said.and i use default shulk,and when i'm really felling it i play naked shulk.
-Healthy dose of actual Xenoblade Chronicle references -pinch of I'm really feeling it maymays 10/10 on the right track. Enjoyed that as much as How to play Pit 101.
wait you guys (pielord and alex) want to attempt to actually beat kirby? pfft no 2 lives GO! *first kills normally. damages you to high % and then hammers you to space* *disrespect time. inhales. spits of edge and down b's you to your face. even i missed i would still have a live left :3*
I really loved the editing on this one! It's amazing how you step up the quality visual and comedy wise with each video. Keep up the great work man, you had me laughing. ;w;
+Shulk-Xenoblade Chronicles Riki: Thanks to Riki's sidekicks...we win! Reyn: Hey, who're you callin' 'sidekicks'? Riki: No see anyone else. Must be you!
***** Well, if you like puzzles, sidequests and interesting/deep storylines that have multiple endings then go for MM 3D. I've never played or seen any Xenoblade game so I can't judge it.
Watched your recent video where you discussed what you're going through. Could've joined the flood of "feel better soon" comments but it felt way more fitting to post this on the first video of yours I watched. Not sure if you'll notice it but I hate seeing content creators who feel bad in any way for putting themselves ahead of their viewers so I wanted to say something. Been following you since I started competitive smash. Shulk was my first real main and this was one of the first videos I watched to see what he could do. Seeing your channel grow from here has been really fun. By now, you're probably my favorite content creator. If you need/want a break, take it. Whether it's a day or two, a month or two, or even longer, the real fans are here and they won't leave you for needing time to figure yourself out. If you don't come back, I'd be sad but that logic stands. Take care of yourself first and everyone will be here if/when you come back. And hey if you don't come back then we've still got 5 amazing years of videos to rewatch :)
Lol as soon as shulk was introduced in ssb4 raven was the first thing that came to mind, I didn't know who shulk was until I played xenoblade about 3 months ago. It's tickled me that you also made the connection. You got yourself a subscriber for making me laugh keep up the good work.
Since the ending of the How To Smash videos, this has to be one of, if not, my favorite 101 videos you have created. Keep up the good work and I hope people stick around for future content to come!
I really love this. As an avid Xenoblade fan and Shulk main, I'm glad it's not full of "I'm really feeling it" and other things that turned Shulk into a meme. Hilarious vid too, I caught just about every reference. xD
AlpharadTV streetcar is pretty dang short, being a play and all. And 1984 is pretty palatable compared to most 'older' fiction. Definitely read through them if you haven't :)
i'm really feelin it More like what moves AREN'T laggy? What I mean is, it takes way too many frames for his attacks to start up and end. But if he fits your playstyle, I won't judge. You clearly see something I don't.
GURGLEGUY12345 Yeah, shulk is insanely fun, and nobody really mains him. his monado arts make him really versatile, but a lot of his moves have bad ending lag, except Nair, that auto-cancels.
Leapordgaming I used to main Lucina, but Shulk seems far more versatile. Opponent's percentage is low? Buster! High? Smash! Yours is high? Shield! Shield runs out? Jump! But don't use Backslash ever. add bakslsh cansel plz based sakurai
The counter explosion literally shows how it feels to be countered by Shulk. If it were Bowser doing a fully charged fsmash, well, it'd be a nuke vid right there.
- Uses Fiora in movie poster
- Guy shouts "Sharla"
Get your priorities straight, Shulk.
Nexo213 reyn is best girl
Gmanunit13vers2 Reyn is best everything.
Alexander M reyn X riki best couple
Nexo213 It's "Stella".
***** "that's not how i remember it, cheeseball."
This was amazing. As a huge Xenoblade fan I was hoping you'd just make fun of the side taunt once and then move on, and you did. The clips are great, the editing's hilarious, and I loved the inside jokes from Xenoblade. Also +1 for using my favorite Shulk quote, "The future doesn't belong to you!".
Thank you! I got the whole "really feeling it" quote out in the first clip. I'm glad a fellow Xenoblade fan enjoyed it as much as I did making it. :)
AlpharadTV i never realized how BM shulk could be until his voice clips were strung together. The salt...IT BURNS
AlpharadTV Xenoblade has got to be my favorite Nintendo game since the SNES, it's nice to see people that have actually played the game talking about Shulk instead of people who only know the god damn memes.

Duck hunt! It would be hilarious!
Yes duck hunt would be awsome.
DUCK HUNT OR WE RIOT

Two people can play this game
Respect to you, Alpharad. You and I were talking about how Shulk being one big meme is awful, and I knew this would be great. You DEFINITELY proved that, and I loved how you teased it at the start. Great work, you truly make the world a better place.
Thank you so much! Comments like this really brighten my day. :)
Carl Sylvestrie Yeah it is disappointing that people will remember Shulk for "I'm really feeling it" instead of from his game.

HyperLuigi I prefer the Fiora or Riki skin, and I hate the side taunt.
I've played Xenoblade the whole way through, I just really like memes.
HyperLuigi i think his up taunt should be " I'll Smash You UP!
Word! Fiora/Dunban Shulk is best Shulk anyway! Besides, the down taunt is far superior. Monado = best.
shulk time was a really bad taunt,it should be "smash you up" like Brandon Anderson (ShadowMark3) said.and i use default shulk,and when i'm really felling it i play naked shulk.

10/10 on the right track. Enjoyed that as much as How to play Pit 101.
"I'm proud of how to play Shulk. It's a work of *art.*"
ARE YOU KIDDING ME.
Need a "How To Be A Monado Boy 202." :(
No a Monando boy
M O N A N D O B O Y Z
YES
How to be a male Zero Suit Samus
Cause, you know, that costume everyone uses (Except for me)
Then you aren't a true Shulk main.
OBLECTION!!! You had shulk's face on Phoenix Wrights body, but had Apollo Justices voice!
Now *this* is the Monado's power!
Wii Fit Trainer クレア oh my
Sendy Lie THIS IS THE TRUE FORM OF THE MONADO!
Sendy Lie ARE YOU REALLY FEELING THE MONADO'S POWER?!
Sendy Lie I'm really not feeling it, because Shulk severely damaged all my nervous tissue from feeling...
Sendy Lie Monando's Boy Power* lol :D
He just said shulk 101 is the best 101, so i came back and watched it. Anybody else?
yup,me too
+Jaben withheld Yeah
We need to make Shulk 202 a thing!

I sense a lack of fanboy in QG
No words.

#GameAndWatchMain add me: eradication0
I vote G&W. One of my favorite characters in Smash in general.
Back here after the 101 retrospective. This was the one that radiated the alpha for me. Cheers to almost nine years of bein an alpharad fan :]
OBJECTION!
*Backslash KO*
GOTCHA!
Best reference ever.
The Apollo Justice was fucking flawless.
+1
Is that actually zero playing
yes lol
I was thinking the same thing like after 6 monthes I finally noticed the tag
+AlpharadTV Thank #Askalpharad!- Episode 11
+Alpharad I think that means Alph can't play Shulk for shit.
+chilly raptor Well, he DOES admit it in the description.
I can finally understand the inside jokes after 5 years let’s gooooooo
"How do ya like that?"
"I think a better question is why you're so annoying and cheerful."
"Basta!"
5 Years Later And The man I once knew He's gone and i miss him

Was that the That's So Raven theme at the end?
Yes.
no darude-sandstorm
HaremofScorpions You know, because Shulk has visions :)
Robert G OH I GET IT NOW
I die every time at the reading references paired with an airhorn.
Im the newest comment here
The window into the 2014-2015 era is certainly amazing to see how far Alpharad has come
Uses Apollo's voice clips but uses Phoenix Wright's character model.
That was pure genius.
"The future...DOESN'T BELONG TO YOU!" Nearly better than "May the roar of the Mechonis be the wrath of my people!" or "BLOSSOM DANCE!"
+Shulk-Xenoblade Chronicles What about, "Now it's Reyn Time!"?
+Shulk-Xenoblade Chronicles
Riki: Thanks to Riki's sidekicks...we win!
Reyn: Hey, who're you callin' 'sidekicks'?
Riki: No see anyone else. Must be you!
Apollo sounds an awful lot like Shulk, doesn't he?
Also, I just got money, but which game should I get? Xenoblade Chronicles or Majora's Mask 3DS?
Xenoblade. The game looks a little outdated, but the story is amazing. I bought it and freaking love it. Best 40$ I ever spent.
***** Well, if you like puzzles, sidequests and interesting/deep storylines that have multiple endings then go for MM 3D. I've never played or seen any Xenoblade game so I can't judge it.
Twctlcc GM Too late, I already bought it 3 weeks ago.
***** I could tell from the date but I'm just giving you an analysis on Majora's Mask 3D just incase you get into a situation like this again.
Twctlcc GM I mean, I already have Majora's Mask on N64, but the console is so old now, everything runs too slow.

TFW Zero is taking over the series.
this is the video i found Alpharad on. How the time has passed.
"Should have left you in brawl" I fucking shit myself I laughed so hard.
Since the ending of the How To Smash videos, this has to be one of, if not, my favorite 101 videos you have created. Keep up the good work and I hope people stick around for future content to come!
1:45, that conversation though XD
I'd like to thank that one kid on miiverse who told me to watch this video a few years ago

Go back to playing meme characters, Ainsley.
AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!
GTFO!!!!!!!! DDDD:::::
Jigglystep I know right fuck that guy.
I really love this. As an avid Xenoblade fan and Shulk main, I'm glad it's not full of "I'm really feeling it" and other things that turned Shulk into a meme. Hilarious vid too, I caught just about every reference. xD
I'm legitimately impressed with the 1st Back Slash clip. It's so satisfying if you can pull it off.
1984 AND a streetcar named desire?! What is this, Ap Literature again?
I'm actually jealous. I never got to read those in my AP courses. :(
AlpharadTV streetcar is pretty dang short, being a play and all. And 1984 is pretty palatable compared to most 'older' fiction. Definitely read through them if you haven't :)
whatsupwitdat45 I mean, I've read them. I just never got to read them in a class. Don't mind my irrelevant statement.
Haha it's all good man, just my being an English teacher creeping up out of nowhere. Haha
wow, I read 1984 in my English honors class, and our AP Lit books were lame as hell by standard.

ArcangelStarcraft My brother was the Captain Falcon. He didn't realize it was ZeRo until he saw the video.
That objection bit though was just perfect and so well-done. I'm still in awe about it.
i just can't forget this video, good times
THE FUCKING THAT'S SO RAVEN THEME AT THE END I'M CHOKING
PachirisuPlusEmolga I don't get it?
Alexander M Shulk has visions. So does Raven.
Ryan Badello Thank you. I don't watch That's So Raven so I don't know.
+PachirisuPlusEmolga I had to scroll down way too far to find this. ;-;
Game and Watch or riot.
J U D G E B O Y S
Am I the only one who noticed that Shulk used Apollo's voice for "Objection" while photoshopped onto Phoenix?
I like that you had Shulk say 'We've got a good rythm going' while Mechanical Rythm was playing. Nish and classy Alpharad :]
This is by FAR your best of these videos
Can we make it to 1,000,000 guys?
WE MADE IT!
Do we make it to 1 million? WE DO
AAYYYY
What was the 1984 reference? Goddamn that came outta the blue haha
Because Duck Hunt.
+NicholasCrimson oh I get it now, though what you said could've been clearer
+NicholasCrimson thanks anyway
+NicholasCrimson I've read 1984 and still don't get it. What about Duck Hunt?
Alexander M The Japanese release date was in 1984 (April 21). Pretty lofty reference right?
THATS SO RAVEN I'M FUCKING DEAD
Congrats, Alpharad, for your very first video to reach 1 million views! Great video, by the way.
I rewatch the first 5 seconds over and over. That "this is bad" is just too perfect
LETS GO KIRBY LETS GO
In my opinion, Shulk's laggy frame data makes what could be a great character damn near unplayable.
i'm really feelin it
More like what moves AREN'T laggy?
What I mean is, it takes way too many frames for his attacks to start up and end. But if he fits your playstyle, I won't judge. You clearly see something I don't.
Jab and his standing grab are the only things that come out
i'm really feelin it
I guess I'm just not feelin it.
Toa Matoro Ty bc im a shulk main
Mr. Game and watch or kirby! But do bowser 202 anyways!

Only video with Zero in it that wasn't taken down
you could say that this is a "work of art"
okay I'll leave now
No, stay. I need more.
Thats so Raven ending xD
Damn 1 million views o.o. Anyone else just rewatch these just for the lolz?
OMG You played That's So Raven in the end!!!! XXDDD
These videos are the best!!!
0:35 *OBJECTION!!!* This is too damn awesome. XD
I've been finding you all over the place lately.
I thought I was good at Shulk.
+Herp Derpington (Google Plus Sucks) Are you a Monado Boy/Girl? Or are you a true wielder of the Monado?
Jacen T. Somewhere between the two.
Explain. I've never seen a hybrid before.
It's like Melia, looks like a Hom, but is actually a High entia.
Ah. I see. Can this one wield the monado at times, but will fail when the more advanced arts come up?
Mister Gay-man-watch!
lol getting a backslash off stage kill is impossible~!@!!!@!!!
true story
The mix of the objection and the music was delicious
Shulk is a Jedi. The slightest disturbance in the force and he comes at you with everything plus 20
\
haha get it
+Etika's Hair Back slashin' Monado Boy...
Too bad Shulk is a Homs and not a Hype Entia.
+TJ Martinez Yeah, I hoped for that to happen in the game... But at least Melia has Dunban.
1 000 000!!!!!!
I cannot stop watching 0:35. Now I'm picturing Dunban as Godot.

It's been 3 years and I still think of this video when I play Shulk
I love that in such a goofy Shulk montage, Zero was using the Reyn costume to fuck with everyone xD
That IS a nice combo. Very satisfying to watch.
Shulk:How do ya like that?
Dark Pit:I think a better question is why are you so annoyingly cheerful?
Shulk:BUSTAH!
Reyn: Can't have a rainbow without Reyn!
Melia: Dunban, I think you have to have a talk with Reyn.

I'm dying right now.
ONE STEP CLOSER TO THE EDGE, AND IMA BOUT TO BREAK! This is why I love Alpha XD
I'm thinking of maining Shulk... I think you got through that pretty good! I hadn't considered using Vision to edgeguard, that was clever!
GURGLEGUY12345 Yeah, shulk is insanely fun, and nobody really mains him. his monado arts make him really versatile, but a lot of his moves have bad ending lag, except Nair, that auto-cancels.

The counter explosion literally shows how it feels to be countered by Shulk. If it were Bowser doing a fully charged fsmash, well, it'd be a nuke vid right there.
Oh my god the golden Captain Falcon at 0:28 and 1:30 is my brother. I remember watching him play that match.
