English: Adam Howden

Japanese: Shintarou Asanuma

French: Laurent Van Wetter

German: Martin Lohmann

Arabic: Osamah Sami

Mandarin Chinese: Lin Yuanchun

Rival: Mirage

Second Rival: Bard (he debuted in The Hobbit)

Idle: Sits meditating with Monado behind his back

Select: Gets up and swings the Monado three times while the camera zooms saying "This is the Monado's power!"

Intro: Jumps down with the Monado, then places it on his back after it deactivates saying "Now it's Shulk time!"

Neutral: Monado Arts: Shulk activates one of five arts, which display kanji characters behind him when selected, to enhance some of his abilities while reducing others. The arts are:

翔 (Jump): Higher jumps, lower defense. 疾 (Speed): Faster movement, lower jumps, weaker attacks. 盾 (Shield): Higher defense, lower jumps, weaker attacks, slower movement. 斬 (Buster): Stronger attacks, weaker launch ability, lower defense. 撃 (Smash): Stronger launch ability, weaker attacks, lower defense against launching.

Side: Back Slash: Jumps forwards with a Monado swing, similar to Link's dash attack.

Up: Air Slash: Jumps upwards with a Monado swipe, similarly to Dolphin Slash. Pressing the attack button at the end of the swipe will result in a second, forward swipe.

Down: Vision: When Shulk is about to be attacked, he can activate this move to avoid the hit and launch a counterattack on his opponent by slashing them with the Monado.

Hyper Smash: Monado Cyclone: Ether particles are concentrated into the Monado, allowing Shulk to unleash a column of powerful Ether from the ground. Enemies within the area effect will be damaged by the Ether.

Final Smash: Chain Attack: Shulk attempts to catch his opponent in front of him. Then, once successful, a cinematic appears as he summons Dunban and Riki to assist him, and the three proceed to attack trapped opponents. This ends with a strong Monado slash.

Victory 1: Swings the Monado a few times while it is active, then holds it level to his head as it deactivates, saying "The future is ours to decide."

Victory 2: Bows down with the Monado held lengthwise, then it activates, and he changes grip, saying "I can feel the power!"

Victory 3: Swings the inactive Monado upwards, then places it on his back, saying "I got through that pretty good!"
