It could be that Shulk isn't playable, but is an AT, and Sakurai isn't showing anything Xenoblade related that would confirm this because he's afraid of the backlash from the Xenoblade fanbase. The same reason's why he isn't confirming Ridley as a Boss or showing Issac as an AT. Sounds a bit silly though, and I hope it isn't the case.
I think Sakurai is pretty fearless especially with showing off Prince Sable and Takamaru, not to mention how much he joked about Waluigi being an assist and the trolling with Chrom. A lot of people were holding out for Skull Kid to be playable as well.

I can't imagine he's afraid of the backlash the Xenoblade fanbase could give him.

What would Shulk's crowd cheer be?
"You will know our names! Shulk! You will know our names! Shulk"

I can't think of anything better....

Shulk Shulk he's our guy if he can't do it nobody can! S-H-U-L-K. Shulk! Woooooo! *girls giggling*

Somebody put Shulks head on Gary Oak.

So I just came across this thread on NeoGAF, and I'm a little shocked.

383. [WII] Xenoblade Chronicles <RPG> (Nintendo) {2010.06.10} (¥6.800) - 18.096 / 214.815 <110,82%> (408.664)
The numbers in parenthesis are the total sales new and used together, and the ones in bold are the amount of used copies sold only. Subtract the total sales to the used copies sold, and you get 193,849 copies sold brand new. Just man, I'm a little surprised how there were more used copies sold than new, especially since the game's not that rare in Japan compared to the Americas. And to think that Xenoblade was downloaded nearly a million times... and then IGN stepped in.

Look above you.
*Le sigh* Yeah, I realized that right after I posted. Woe is me.

Oh man, they just keep coming. This will provide a lot of entertainment, I can tell.

Yeeep, and they were wrong. While VGChartz isn't exactly accurate, it's safe to say that Xenoblade Chronicles has sold between 300,000 and 400,000 copies sold. I imagine it won't reach higher than that since all copies are pretty much used now.

But those used copies in Japan. Since it sold more than 400,000 copies, then more than 400,000 people have played it. 400,000 of them better buy the Xenoblade X, then. pls

The light of our awesomeness is so strong that if we were ever to remove our sunglasses, the rest of Smash Boards would go blind.
Actually it's just an inside joke that caught on surprisingly well.

Ohai Shulk thread.

I wasn't a Shulk supporter at any moment, but my brother caught me looking at this thread and recognized Shulk because he's watching an LP of Xenoblade Chronicles. He asked me to support him since it's the one character not called :snake: or :4littlemac: that he'd actually play.

So now I grant my support to Shulk, small as it is.

That LP wouldn't happen to be Chugga's, would it?
Regardless...

So, if Shulk has interactions with a side character on his stage, like Snake's codec conversations, who would he talk to?
And what would some of his conversations be like?

I have taught you well little giflings. Inform @BluePikmin11 when there are new supporters, because I am too lazy. I have taught you well indeed.

They better.

I fear for Monolith soft's future, Xenoblade was their most successful since their foundation, but it seems alot of money have been put on Xenoblade X, and who knows if Nintendo is willing to market the game any further.

I actually want a Xenoblade X character in Smash 4, similar to Roy's situation (for marketing purposes)

There might be a new stage or veteran next week. The only reason we don't have any info on Shulk is that it would easily confirm Shulk.
