Hello Shulk mains! I recently picked up Shulk and find he is incredibly fun to use. I'm considering using him as a secondary to Dark Pit, so I'm doing research on his potential before dedicating lots of time to him. Part of my process is watching how professional players use a character. For example, I studied Shofu, Jtails, Zero and Nairo using Dark Pit. So I'm asking: who are the premier Shulk players out there?
Note: I asked this on the Q and A thread, but I never received an answer. And I didn't see anything related to this on the Directory.

Okay, I guess I'll let this through

But if you want Premier Shulk players, then there's Gnes and 9B. That's about it. It's difficult to find videos of them though

Edit: Silentdoom and Jerm (The Shulk)

Distant Kingdom for sure. Watch his tutorials + montages, they really help. :)

He has really good knowledge of the Monado arts. Be sure to MASTER these arts fully and research their stats. They make or break a Shulk player. Seriously.

I've seen a lot of Shulks online (and even in competitive play) that use the arts incorrectly and this really screws them up. I think in one tournament a Shulk put on Buster when the enemy was at like 100% ...

Isn't Trela playing Shulk too? I know he switched to Ryo recently, but i think he won a few tournaments with Shulk.

Trela hasn't played Shulk seriously in tournament in months, he's hardly a relevant example anymore.

As many have said, Jerm is probably the best known Shulk.

If you count "wi-fi" as being good, the second best player on Anther's Ladder this season, and I believe third best last season, is a heavy Shulk main named DragonBrain. His play with the Shield Art has me completely convinced that Shulk is massively untapped in terms of competitive viability.
