"The mysterious fighting teams that appear in the Smash Bros. series come in many shapes and sizes, but this time even we don't know what all of them will look like! It's said that they copy faces from Mii characters saved on your system and attack in a large throng…!! But wait, they all have big smiles on their faces. Looks like they're having a good time, so show no mercy and launch them all away!!"

"From Xenoblade Chronicles, Shulk joins the battle!! He's not the type of character that would usually appear in the Smash Bros. series, but we worked really hard to make it happen. We're very happy with how he turned out. This stage is Gaur Plain. "

"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] 翔 (Jump): higher jumps, lower defense. 疾 (Speed): faster movement, weaker attacks. 盾(Shield): higher defense, slower movement. 斬(Buster): stronger attacks, weaker launch ability. 撃(Smash): Stronger launch ability, weaker attacks, lower defense against launching."

And finally the reveal video:

SHULK FOR SMASH!!!! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK YEAH BABY!!!!

What a great reveal video. Mumkhar at the end, Riki (!!!) and Dunban in the final smash, nice stage...fair to say someone is happy for him!

Also, why would Shulk not be the type of guy usually in Smash?

Reveal trailer was pretty cool, I might just spend a bit of time with Shulk in Smash.
Also its cool to see some people noticed this announcement and arent just bitching about Xenoblade Chronicles on New 3DS

See, proof another sword wielder can have a completely different move set. Shulk will definitely be my go to guy!

Everyone is going to be very quiet, not just that " journalist"..

I woke up and saw the reveal video posted on Facebook, thinking everyone on here would be talking about it...
But the. I saw the shit storm surrounding the New 3DS instead...

Wow...I can't believe no one is complaining about one of Shulk's alternate costumes. I mean, this is obviously sexual objectification. I know you could do this in the game, but that just means that Xenoblade endorses sexual objectification too. I'll post a link to the image, but I'm not going to post it as a pic, because I don't want to glorify this filth.
