Template:SSB4 to SSBU changelist/Shulk: Difference between revisions

===Aesthetics===

*{{change|Shulk's alternate costumes now alter his hair color to match each party member they represent.}}

**{{change|His hair colors are now dirty blonde, black, auburn, black, silver, and orange for the palette swaps of [[Fiora]], [[Dunban]], Reyn, Sharla, Melia, and [[Riki]] respectively.}}

**{{nerf|Due to the new knockback speed up effect decreasing hitstun for higher knockback values, up throw has lost its KO setups into up aerial at high percents with the Jump Art active.}}

*[[Down throw]]:

**{{nerf|The throw portion deals less damage (4% → 2.5%; 7% total → 5.5%) and knockback (75 base/115 scaling → 85/105), making it significantly weaker overall. Notably, it is no longer the strongest down throw in the game by a large margin with the Smash Art active.}}

**{{nerf|Due to the new knockback speed up effect, it has lost its true combos into forward aerial at low to mid percents with the Speed Art active.}}

**{{change|It has a snappier animation, with Shulk physically thrusting the Monado into the ground with both hands and performing a short jump before the main hit.}}

===Special moves===

**{{change|Arts that are on cooldown have a gradually regenerating bar under them to indicate how much time is left until they can be used again. Likewise, a gradually depleting bar appears below the active Art in Shulk's damage meter to indicate how much is left until it deactivates.}}

**{{buff|Monado Arts activate significantly faster when selected individually.}}

**{{change|The kanji graphics are stylized and shown in solid colored, thick-outlined text. Upon activation, the kanji flashes with a cartoon-styled burst.}}

**{{change|Highlighted Arts display their name in addition to the kanji, like in Shulk's damage meter.}}

**{{bugfix|Switching or deactivating Arts immediately resets Shulk's movement attributes. For example, he no longer has increased run speed if he is running when the Speed Art expires.}}

**{{change|Monado Arts have significantly amplified strengths and weaknesses, alongside much shorter durations and longer cooldowns, making the move similar to one of Shulk's previous custom moves, [[Hyper Monado Arts]].}}

**Jump Art:

***{{nerf|It increases damage taken even more (1.22× → 1.3×).}}

**Speed Art:

***{{change|Shulk's [[gravity]] is now increased by 1.2x. This increases Shulk's overall mobility even further, but also worsens his endurance due to the [[Knockback#Melee_onward|gravity penalty]]. Furthermore, it shortens the duration <!--and height--> of his midair jump, weakening his recovery.}}

***{{nerf|It lasts significantly shorter (16s → 8s) and has a longer cooldown (10s → 16s).}}

**Buster Art:

***{{buff|It lowers knockback dealt even more (0.68× → 0.65×), allowing combos for longer.}}

***{{nerf|It lasts significantly shorter (16s → 10s) and has a longer cooldown (10s → 14s). However, it is the longest-lasting and quickest-charging Monado Art.}}

***{{nerf|It increases damage taken even more (1.13× → 1.3×).}}

**{{bugfix|[[Vision Sliding]] has been removed.}}

*[[Chain Attack]]:

**{{change|[[Mecha-Fiora]] appears during Chain Attack, attacking with Shulk in addition to [[Riki]] and [[Dunban]]. Camera angles have been adjusted to accommodate for her, and Shulk has gained an additional voice clip that calls out her name. Additionally, Riki and Dunban have more detailed models.}}
