Shulk (USBIV)

Shulk is a startable playable character in Ultra Smash Bros. IV and makes his second appearance in the series since Smash 4. He was confirmed during the developing of Xenoblade Chronicles X for Wii U. Generally in his own franchise, Shulk is a young-aged boy (18) who is the only who posseses the Monado sword for his adventures.
Shulk maintains his voice clips recycled from Smash 4 voiced by Adam Howden.
Shulk ranks the 17th place of the 103rd (A) in the tier list, putting him in the top tier placement before Banjo & Kazooie and after Ice Climbers. This is a significant rise for Shulk being a mid-tier in Smash 4. He's rised due to his improvement of his framedata causing him problems during the tournaments.
==Trivia==
*During the developement of Ultra Smash Bros. IV, Cross, the protagonist and avatar's default name in Xenoblade Chronicles X, should be in this game, instead of Shulk. But due to Cross' minor popularity overall, he didn't made it and put them as a trophy instead.
