Shulk (SSS)

:This article is strictly about how Shulk appears in Super Smash Stadium. For information about him in general, see his article on another wiki.
Shulk is a playable character on Super Smash Stadium. He debuted alongside Gaur Plain.
==In his own universe==
Shulk is the star of Xenoblade Chronicles 1, the first game of the Xenoblade series and the first Xeno series game to be released by Nintendo (it was previously a Square-Enix franchise). At a time when his world was at war with Mechonis, a robot world, he found a legendary weapon known as the Monado, believed to be the only weapon that could defeat the Mechoni army. However, only an injured Bioni soldier, Dunban, could use it initially.
XC1 begins with a new leader in the Mechoni army, Metal Face, launching a surprise assault on Bionis, with Metal Face apparently being immune to the Monado. Shulk begins using the Monado himself after Dunban finally loses his ability to use it, and Shulk can apparently use it better.
==Attributes==
Shulk is a swordsman, and thus controls the same way any other swordfighter on SSS controls: long reach, disjointed hitbox, laggy moves, excessive reliance on spacing/zoning and a bad close quarters game. His saving grace is his neutral special move.
===Changes===
None yet.
===Moveset===
Entrance: Jumps down with his Monado out; he retracts the sword and sheathes it.
Move Name	Description
Back Air:
Behind Thrust	A VERY powerful reverse thrust with the Monado. Can kill at 90% unboosted, unusually powerful for an air move.
Neutral Special:
Monado Arts	Shulk activates one of the following powers, which boost him in some way. These powers all last 15 seconds. Once a power is used up, you must wait an additional 30 seconds to be able to use it again. Only one art can be active at a time.
*Jump: Makes him jump higher.
*Speed: Speeds him up.
*Shield: Increases his defense, makes his shield shrink slower, and makes shield breaks harder.
*Buster: Increases his attack power, but reduces the knockback dealt from his moves.
*Smash: Increases knockback, but makes his attacks weaker.
Cannot kill by itself.
Ashley Variant: Whereas Shulk and Kirby just call out the art names, Ashley gives them some...uh, "creative" names. Jump becomes "Springitty Sprung Power", Speed becomes "Meth Power", Shield becomes "Troll Power", Buster becomes "Roid Rage Power", and Smash becomes "Easy Mode Power". If she doffs her Shulk transformation with an art still active, it remains active until its 15 seconds are up, and if she should re-transform into Shulk, the 30-second cooldown will also persist.
Kirby Variant: If he doffs his Shulk hat with an art active, it continues as well. Kirby becomes a downright monster with Jump active. If Kirby Inhales an enemy and uses to spit them out with Smash active, the increased knockback transfers to whoever gets hit.
Side Special:
Backslash	Shulk jumps up, but slices down. Inflicts insane damage on opponents facing away from him.
Kills at 74% unboosted on opponents facing away, but 740% on those facing towards.
Up Special:
Air Slash	Shulk slashes up. Press again with good timing to make him slash out. The first slash has fixed knockback.
Kills at 105% unboosted.
Down Special:
Vision	A counter. If you spam the move, it gets weaker each time.
Final Smash:
Chain Attack	Shulk, Dunban, Riki, and Fiora gang up on an opponent and slash them crazy.
Ashley Variant: Ashley summons three other St. Clair Publications characters to help her instead, generally "tough girl"/"butch" archetype women.
===Taunts===
*Up Taunt: Holds out his right hand and says "Now it's Shulk time!"
*Side Taunt: Grips the Monado with one hand, pumps his fist with the other, and says "I'm really feeling it!"
*Down Taunt: Pulls out the Monado and says "This is the Monado's power!"
===Victory===
*Pose: Swings the Monado twice, then stabs at head level, saying "The future is ours to decide!"
*Theme: A riff on You Will Know Our Names.
*"No Contest"/Loss Theme: TBA
==Costumes==
*Default
*Gray
*Black
*Brown
*Blue
*Pink
*Gold
*Naked: Shulk in nothing but his underwear (swim trunks?).
