Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 1 Comment

Masahiro Sakurai took to Miiverse earlier today and shed a little more light on Shulk’s moves in the new Smash Bros. Continue on below for his full comments.

View post in Miiverse.

Shulk’s sword, the Monado, slashes enemies with a beam when activated, so it can strike from long range. What really makes this weapon unique is that when the Monado Arts are activated, it can change Shulk’s features and abilities! Emerge victorious in battle by changing your abilities strategically!!

[List of Monado Arts]
? (Jump): higher jumps, lower defense.
? (Speed): faster movement, weaker attacks.
?(Shield): higher defense, slower movement.
?(Buster): stronger attacks, weaker launch ability.
?(Smash): Stronger launch ability, weaker attacks, lower defense against launching.
