Riki is a character from the Xenoblade universe. He appears as an Assist Trophy and in Shulk's Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. 4.

Character description

Riki is the resident Heropon of Frontier Village. The Elder, Dunga, reveals that this position has very little to do with Riki's worth, but as payment for a large number of debts Riki and his family have accrued. He is forced into Shulk's party as a matter of helping him and Melia fight the Telethia. His fighting style is based on arts capable of inflicting several negative status conditions to the opponents.

Riki is a very childish character. He speaks in a largely childish matter, and has very little bearing on the plot at large. However, he is a devoted follower of Shulk and Melia, and is a competent fighter when he needs to be. A conversation in Xenoblade Chronicles reveals that he is actually 40 years old, and has a wife and eleven children.

In Super Smash Bros. 4

As an Assist Trophy

Riki stands in place and uses randomly some of several arts:

• Happy Happy raises the launch and attack power of all fighters
• Freezinate can freeze opponents
• Yoink! pulls items close to Riki
• Bedtime puts opponents to sleep
• You Can Do It heals all fighters
• Roly Poly makes opponents trip if they're on the ground.

In Shulk's Final Smash

Riki appears in Shulk's Final Smash. He is summoned alongside Dunban to use a Chain Attack on the trapped opponent, before Shulk uses a Monado Buster to send the foe flying.

In Smash Tour

Riki appears as a blue item: when selected, it draws all nearby items to the user as they walk.
