Yet people were stupid enough to say that since Ike was being replaced, Shulk somehow would of been appropriate for reprising Ike's gameplay. Even though it doesn't make much sense considering the character Shulk is not a rugged fellow.
"I don’t like it when a tweet or whatever leads to needless speculation getting spread around. For example, when I tweet about playing some game, some people immediately get the idea that that character is in the new Smash Bros. Then people fan the flames on it, people start to think it’s really true, people get angry about it. Nobody benefits." -Masahiro Sakurai
While Alvis may be the coolest and most super-incredibly-awesome character ever (he really is), I don't really know what he could do in Smash that other party members like Dunban couldn't do already.
Funny how he said this, but still decided to tweet about the signature weapon of one of the most requested characters for Smash 4..... This dude's just begging for it. lol
The guy goes around fighting monsters and gods wearing nothing but his underwear, and nothing can stop him.
I see. So, he's pretty much broken if you equip the right skills that involve no armor? Is this even effective against Superbosses?
Pretty much this. I bet that the same reaction would happen if Sakurai posted a pic of King K. Rool's krown or kape; posting something related to a highly requested character will only draw in a huge amount of speculation and reaction.
He apparently (haven't done it myself) can apparently become a really damn solid dodge tank without armor, since he's got skills that increase aggro generation and... evasion, I think, when he has no armor.
He's teasing the Shulk fanbase. Either that or he's just plain stupid. He can't just whine about people taking everything he posts on Twitter as Smash gospel and then tweet about the freaking Monado. That's just... I don't even... like what?! There's a ton of support for Shulk even among the Japanese. I'm sure he knew what he was doing.
He probably posted just for the sake of showing off. Not every tweet regards to Super Smash Bros., sometimes he posts whatever else he wants for more personal reasons. It's no different form how other directors spend their time on twitter posting about recent happenings and answering questions.
What if he tweeted it just to say "hey look at this thing, it's pretty cool" just like what other normal people would do
Shulk's chances are more likely then people think.
Yeah, I'd say that's what he was going for, but he's still the director of Smash Bros. he probably knows better than to just upload a pic of one of this game's most requested newcomer's signature weapon without being confident that he could add said character to the roster. Would your reaction be the same if he was admiring Palutena's staff? I'm not so sure. We already see people clamoring for a second KI rep simply because Sakurai worked on Uprising. This kind of stuff is par for the course, really.
Basically, you get Dunban's skills that increase his agility when naked, you then get him the skill link for Melia's skill that increases all stats when no gems are equipped, get a few more good skill links (Reyn's HP one is a great one) and have him tank for you while you play as either Shulk or Melia in order to manually buff him against ether attacks. He basically breaks the game at that point.
I don't think that's a reasonable expectation. If Sakurai wants to post something unrelated to what he's working on, I don't believe that puts him at fault simply because we tend to be obessesive and overread absolutely everything, particularly when it's something he posted to his personal twitter account. It was a fun picture of something he saw, we are the ones who blew it up to be more then that.
Basically, he draws a crap ton of aggro, but nothing can hit him. It's pretty great. Plus, there's also the encouragement of seeing Dunban in his underwear to add onto that. Regardless of sexual orientation, I imagine it would be pretty hard not to be attracted to him. XD
Come to think of it, you could probably say that about the rest of the main cast too. Well, most of them, anyway.

Sorry, Riki.
And, let's not forget that he also looks like Jesus. lol
I know nothing about Xenoblade. Could Riki make it in as a trophy at least? :DCome to think of it, you could probably say that about the rest of the main cast too. Well, most of them, anyway.
Sorry, Riki.
It's debatable, but I'd say given Riki's almost mascot-y status and his popularity (in Japan especially) he's actually the most likely of Shulk's party to make AT status.
It's pretty safe to assume all seven playable characters would appear as trophies if Xenoblade Chronicles gets the full treatment.
Good. Hopefully it would be HD as well. I would like seeing that trophy...or Assist. Assist would be awesome.
There was only one battle I used anyone other than Shulk in, and for that I used Dunban.
Was it the tutorial/intro fight with Di ckson and Mumkhar?
How popular are the other Xenoblade characters?
He could work as an Assist Trophy. His RPG role is the debuff character. He could make monsters receive statuses like bleed, poison, burn, freeze, etc. I bet this can translate well into being an Assist Trophy in Smash.
[collapse=Xenoblade spoilers!]I only played as Dunban when he had the Monado. After that, I strictly used Shulk.
Riki for SSB4 Assist Trophy!
