So allow me to share a Smash Ultimate headcanon based off the arguments I've seen over 'did Shulk really do nothing or something during all those lasers': He and Kirby are good friends and since Shulk's -really smart- he probably found out how Kirby's Warp Star generally worked, and cast Monado Speed on Kirby to give our puff the ability to avoid those lasers long enough to charge the Warp Star up to warping capabilities.
I’ve seen this headcanon flying around since the day of the Direct and I’m totally on board with it A++. I mean Shulk saw what would happen and we know there would be no point in him casting Shield because if a barrier of a freaking goddess couldn’t deflect the beam, chances are the Monado wouldn’t fare much better. So even though we didn’t see what he did, I can totally believe him doing that.
fuck I need to play and finish Xenoblade
