Shouldn't we have a page for Metal Face? He was hinted to be a stage boss in his trailer. --[[Special:Contributions/73.160.5.100|73.160.5.100]] 15:43, 29 August 2014 (EDT)

This is a minor suggestion, but under the Trivia section for Shulk, it mentions his swimtrunks alt costume, but it is written as "swintrunks". [[User:ShrekTheOgre|ShrekTheOgre]] ([[User talk:ShrekTheOgre|talk]]) 01:11, 18 June 2015 (EDT)

==Page Simplification==
While I was going on my daily check of the wiki, I went to Shulk's page. It was, to be blunt, a Great Wall of Text. I know someone else already added the tag, but I sincerely doubt ANYBODY is going to willfully read the whole page. I'm all for descriptive pages, but in this case, I think Shulk's entire page was a bit ''too'' meaty. [[User: TitaniumX|TitaniumX]] ([[User talk:TitaniumX|talk]]) 18:05, 7 October 2015 (EDT)
== Air Slash ==
His up special Air Slash says it has two strikes. While that's not technically incorrect, it only has two strikes if the player presses the B button again in midair. I think that should be clarified. <small>—Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:SirBraneDamuj|SirBraneDamuj]] ([[User talk:SirBraneDamuj|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/SirBraneDamuj|contribs]]) 17:59, 4 October 2014 (EDT)</small>

== Monado Arts Colors ==
The Monado Arts use colors to help tell the player which art they are using. Not only is the kanji colored while selecting arts, but the area affected by the art (feet, hands, Monado) glow whatever color the art has for the duration that art is active.
*Jump - Green
*Speed - Blue
*Shield - Yellow
*Buster - Purple
*Smash - Red
The color information should really be added to the Monado Arts section, as it is pretty much the best tell for which art is active. - [[User:MaJoR|MaJoR]] ([[User talk:MaJoR|talk]]) 08:51, 6 November 2014 (EST)
== Party Theming of Alt Costumes ==
I mentioned it in the trivia section, but I figured I should explain the meaning of the colors of Shulk's alternate outfits in a little more detail here.
Xenoblade chronicles has 7 total party members, counting Shulk. His alternate costumes were themed after the other six, representing (in order) [[http://xenoblade.wikia.com/wiki/File:Fiora_faced_mechon_1.png Fiora]], [[http://xenoblade.wikia.com/wiki/File:Dunban.png Dunban]], [[http://xenoblade.wikia.com/wiki/File:Reyn.png Reyn]], [[http://xenoblade.wikia.com/wiki/File:Sharla.png Sharla]], [[http://xenoblade.wikia.com/wiki/File:Melia.png Melia]], and [[http://xenoblade.wikia.com/wiki/File:Riki_with_weapon.png Riki]].[[User:ToastyMozart|ToastyMozart]] ([[User talk:ToastyMozart|talk]]) 20:18, 11 January 2015 (EST)
:We know this. It belongs on [[Alternate costume (SSB4)|the alt costume page]], not on this page. [[User:Toomai|Toomai]] [[User talk:Toomai|Glittershine]] [[Image:Toomai.png|20px|link=User:Toomai/Bin|???]] The Chronicler 22:46, 11 January 2015 (EST)
== Version exclusive features??? ==
In the trivia section it says something about him and Olimar having version exclusive features, but it doesn't cite anything, or even say what they are. What is this? [[Special:Contributions/70.198.132.184|70.198.132.184]] 19:12, 12 January 2015 (EST)
:There are probably some things that work slightly differently in the Wii U version, like most every other character (Link is a notable one), but what the point is specifically referring to is the Monado Art icon on his character icon during a battle.

== First Party or Second Party? ==
Would Shulk be a first party character, or a second party character?
Yes, Nintendo owns Monolith, but Monolith created Shulk. Monolith being the creators of Shulk is good enough to call him a second party in my book.

:Diddy Kong was created by Rare, which is now effectively a fourth party. So I wouldn't call that a valid argument. [[User:Toomai|Toomai]] [[User talk:Toomai|Glittershine]] [[Image:Toomai.png|20px|link=User:Toomai/Bin|???]] The Interspacial 12:00, 24 February 2015 (EST)
I would say Shulk is second-party in a sense because of Monolith Soft, but it doesn't matter either way because second-party isn't really notable. Pokemon is Game Freak and Creatures, Fire Emblem is Intelligent Systems, Mother is Ape and Itoi, etc. [[User:Miles of SmashWiki|<font color="dodgerblue"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;">'''Miles''']] <font color="silver">([[User talk:Miles of SmashWiki|<font color="silver">talk]])</font></font></span></font> 12:54, 24 February 2015 (EST)

:::::No, because in the completed title screen, Nintendo gives CLEAR attribution to Monolith for the character. As such, Nintendo don't strictly own all the Copyright as their own entity (Ownership by proxy, in a way). Because of that, calling him Nintendo character isn't... accurate.

Oh my god, just call him a Nintendo character, it's not that hard, PXZ2 even says it's a franchise from Nintendo. [[User:Nintenzilla|Nintenzilla]] ([[User talk:Nintenzilla|talk]]) 19:51, 27 October 2015 (EDT)
:Actually, PXZ2 uses the same copyrights for Xenoblade (Nintendo/Monolith Soft) and Fire Emblem (Nintendo/Intelligent Systems) as Smash does.

:True. But it is worthy to note that Ninty has at least 96% stock in Monolith. Also, to my knowledge, Nintendo doesn't even own HAL Labs or Game Freak. There is nothing wrong calling Shulk a Nintendo character. Interesting to note Miles' possible change of mind when comparing what he's said a few posts up with [[User talk:Miles_of_SmashWiki#This_person.|this]] here. Anyways, I think the trivia point is unnecessary, and problematic.  '''''[[User:Aardvarkian|<span style="color:purple;text-shadow:0px 0px 3px">Aardvarkian</span>]]''''' <span style="color:blue;text-shadow:0px 0px 3px">'''''[[User Talk:Aardvarkian|(Talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Aardvarkian|Contributions)]]''''' </span> 20:03, 27 October 2015 (EDT)

:::Miles, Miles, Miles, they flat-out categorize Xenoblade (Along with Fire Emblem) as "Franchises from Nintendo", however this issue is so unessary and so uneeded that we should just remove it all together.

::::You're being rather condescending, and you're not correct. A brief look at the game's official site [http://pxz2.bn-ent.net/ shows the copyrights I mentioned].

I was talking about the trailer, and I think that we should remove it as it's conclusive and subjective, so I say it be removed before it causes anymore controversy. [[User:Nintenzilla|Nintenzilla]] ([[User talk:Nintenzilla|talk]]) 21:41, 27 October 2015 (EDT)

== Inability to auto-cancel? ==
Is Shulk the only character who cannot autocancel ''any'' of his aerial attacks? I've mained and played Shulk ever since the beginning of ''Smash 4'' but I'm still unsure of this, although Shulk is pretty infamous for having landing lag for everything. [[User:Archrelico|Archrelico]] ([[User talk:Archrelico|talk]]) 06:03, 12 January 2016 (EST)
:He is. Every other character has at least one aerial that can autocancel before being interruptible. Even Rosalina. [[User:Drill Blaster Mark 2|<font color="Brown">'''Drill Blaster'''</font> <font color="Pink">'''Mark'''</font> <font color="Silver">'''2'''</font>]] ''[[User talk:Drill Blaster Mark 2|<font color="Purple">(talk)</font>]]'' 06:43, 12 January 2016 (EST)
::Well jesus, I guess I'm maining a really sluggish british person then. [[User:Archrelico|Archrelico]] ([[User talk:Archrelico|talk]]) 06:49, 12 January 2016 (EST)
:::This reminds me - isn't Shulk the only character whose aerials are interruptible ''before'' the autocancel? If he does a full hop back air and just lands, he gets 19 frames of landing lag [http://www.kuroganehammer.com/Smash4/Shulk (here's his frame data)]. But he can avoid that lag by double jumping just before he hits the ground, or mitigate it by starting a neutral air to get that move's 10 frames of lag instead. I believe this is unique to him. It ought to be in the article somewhere. [[File:Zyrac sig.png]] <font face="Lucida Console">[[User:Zyrac|<font color="green">'''Zyrac'''</font>]]<small>([[User talk:Zyrac|<font color="green">talk</font>]]•[[Special:Contributions/Zyrac|<font color="green">contribs</font>]])</small></font> 06:51, 12 January 2016 (EST)
:::That's what I said. It also makes him take the landing lag of whatever was used to interrupt his aerial, just like you said. If he double jumps and lands, he takes 4 frames, for example. If you want to put it in, go for the Trivia section. I'm pretty sure no one will disagree with that.

According to Kurogane Hammer, Shulk's aerials technically autocancel, but it's rendered useless since they only do so after the FAF. [[File:Nyargleblargle.png|16px]][[User: Nyargleblargle|<span style="color:LawnGreen">'''Nyargle</span>]][[User talk:Nyargleblargle|<span style="color: orange;">'''blargle'''</span>]] ([[Special:Contributions/Nyargleblargle|Contribs]]) 07:15, 12 January 2016 (EST)
To clarify, is he the only fighter in the ''Smash Bros.'' series who cannot autocancel all aerials? Even Little Mac has that ability. [[User:Archrelico|Archrelico]] ([[User talk:Archrelico|talk]]) 07:37, 12 January 2016 (EST)
