Revision as of 19:03, 16 December 2018

For those who have not completed games in the Xenoblade Chronicles series, this page contains spoilers regarding the plot. Discretion is advised. |
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is the latest game in the Super Smash Bros. series. As with Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, elements of the Xenoblade Chronicles series appear in the game, most notably with Shulk being a playable fighter.
Playable Characters
Shulk is the only playable character from the Xenoblade series. He is similar to his appearance in the previous game, although he has a few notable changes.
Moveset
Special Moves
Shulk as he appears in Ultimate
Shulk's standard special still allows him to switch between five Monado Arts; however, he now has the ability to press the special button once, then choose the desired Monado Art from there with the control stick. This allows for arts to be switched and activated faster. In addition, by pressing the special button while an art is active, a meter can be seen which shows when the art will run out. The five arts are the same as they are in Super Smash Bros. 4, being 翔 (Jump), 疾 (Speed), 盾 (Shield), 斬 (Buster), and 撃 (Smash).
His other special moves appear identical to their Smash 4 iterations.
Final Smash
Fiora is now present in Shulk's Final Smash
Shulk's Final Smash is still a Chain Attack. Fiora, in her Mechon form, has been added to this animation, despite the fact that a chain attack can only be performed by three party members.
Palette Swaps
Shulk's palette swaps are still based on the other party members from Xenoblade Chronicles and his armourless appearance. In this game, however, his hair color also changes to match the party member the outfit is based on.
Stages
Gaur Plain returns from Super Smash Bros. for Wii U in Ultimate. The stage features a much brighter lighting during the day, causing more of its features to be visible. The stage layout remains unchanged from the Smash Bros. Wii U version of the stage. Metal Face returns as a stage boss at night.
Assist Trophies
Riki as an Assist Trophy
Riki also reappears as an Assist Trophy. He uses his same arts from Smash 4; Happy Happy, Freezinate, Yoink!, Bed Time, Roly Poly, and You Can Do It. Similar to his previous appearance, Riki cannot be knocked out for an extra point.
Spirits
The new Spirits mode serves as a way to include other characters in the game without developing them as new fighters. The following Xenoblade characters appear as Spirits:

Mii Costumes
Two Xenoblade Mii Costumes have been shown off. Mii Swordfighters have a costume based on Rex wielding Pyra's Aegis Sword. The costume also comes with an animated Azurda in the helmet. The outfit will be a free gift upon purchasing the Fighters Pass. Mii Brawlers can obtain a Nia costume in the base game as well.
