“	Shulk Foresees a Fight!	”
—Introduction Tagline

Shulk was unofficially revealed as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. 4 via leaked videos from footage used by ESRB to rate the game before being formally confirmed on August 29th, 2014.

Shulk uses the Monado as his main weapon, which can attack from long range using its beam properties. The Monado also gives Shulk access to various arts (which display Kanji letters behind him when in use) to fight. The arts are:

• 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.

Known moveset

• Back air - A quick backwards slash, much like Ike's.
• Down air - Shulk holds the Monado below him, as he continues to fall.
• Up smash - Similar to Marth's up smash, Shulk uses the Monado to strike straight upwards
• Side smash - A long stab using the Monado's beam.
• Down smash - An attack with long start-up and ending lag, but is a high range spinning slash.
• Air Slash - Shulk's up special move, which works very similarly to Dolphin Slash.
• Final Smash - Shulk summons Dunban and Riki to repeatedly slash his opponents, before slashing them far away.
