So! Let's start with the best question first.
What does Shulk have that keeps him from dying?
EDIT: Just to clarify, I've read his profile. But I want some context on his best options, so as not to assume anything about the matchup without knowing all of the details first.

Question, I haven't read all of John's profile yet (bit busy) but how can he deal with passive Life nomming and EE?

Shulk having passive existence Erasure? First time I've heard that
Then again I don't think it works given they're both 4KM away

Well no, Alvis is the one who has it scaling off of Malos who has passive EE that EEs everything it touches. Pair that with Alvis's omnipresence and ya get something fun that the writers didn't think of.

Malos's Aura doesn't stretch to 4KM, unless Alvis being omnipresent means he can EE everything in the universe which makes literally no sense and is contradicted by nothing getting erased.

And now ya know why I said that the writers didn't think about it.

So it's not passive from 4KM.
As for life drain, I recall a quote from John resisting that, but I'll wait for King.

Well it is going by the lore but it contradicts itself unless ya wanna say Alvis is everything (due to his EE resistance) which isn't confirmed.
Since we're talking about passives here is something I'd like to ask ya. We see through Shulk's many visions that he can think and process the information given, if he think during them could he have "passive" versions of all his thought based hax?

No, thought based and passive are inherently contradictory.

@King I'd honestly argue he doesn't have life nomming given that was only done by Zanza with Shulk's old monado when he was at a critical condition and had nearby Homs to feed off to rejuvenate from. Shulk never showed that power before, especially tier 2 Shulk cause he's not using his old Monado anymore. As for the range of the life nomming it's like a few dozen meters at best so if John snipes Shulk won't be able to life nom even if that somehow scales to him.

Shulk's profile doesn't have the passive version listed (Alvis has it), plus we have debated upon this before.

Do you have proof that it's passive, and has the range to reach John from the distance SBA would put them at? Citations, scans, et cetera?

Alvis isn't Zanza. There's no indication he remotely passively noms anyone he sees.

Alvis still had control over both Zanza and Meyneth's Monados though.
- 20,060
- 10,839
That doesn't mean he uses passive life nomming as that's a Zanza thing. Not something every Monado has.
- 9,755
- 4,392
I mean, it goes like this:
Post whatever fights (or equivalent?) he's had while in this state. If he doesn't passively life-drain the opponent in those fights, then there's no reason to assume he's going to here. If he does do so, then...well, he does.
Simple.

@Glass
Didn't Zanza's Monado specifically have that though? I can link the cutscene too if you want.

Given the context of the scene it looks more like something Zanza would be capable of using. Unless there's a line where Meyneth or Alvis are also capable of draining the life of other beings around them I don't see how Alvis with those Monados can passively life nom unless it's something the Monados themselves have.

Going to unfollow from this thread, have a lot of stuff to do and other threads I'm putting my focus to. Have fun.
Also reminder not to derail the thread with this since this is John Vs Shulk not are these abilities valid.
