They freaking got it right!!! Love that Riki and Dunban have Smash models here as well.
+Monolithsoft rep in Smash! Who knew this day would come.
+They did Shulk justice in his moveset and in the trailer
+Riki and Dunban are here are well.
+Same VAs!!!!!
+Mechonis looms in the background and looks freaking awesome!
+Stage changes to evening at least. Probably night too. Rain?!?!
+Armorless Shulk as an alt!!!
+Riki as an assist.
+Unity attack as his final smash is so riiiight!
+Metal Face might be an in-game boss!!!
-Vision doesn't allow him to DODGE a killing blow like was present in the trailer!!
-Can't set his voice to Japanese if I'm playing in English
-Stage is not Eryth Sea. Unless there is more than 1 Xenoblade stage.
-Shulk's CG model looked off at times in the trailer. Especially in his introduction card.
-CG trailer didn't show off any of the other Xenoblade elements aside from Shulk and just a bit of Gaur Plains.
-No Melia Antiqua.

Sounds the same to me, but just a slight higher pitch. I really do think its the same actor.

Maybe, I was thinking of that too.
My main point was that I don't think he's an AT, especially since he's part of Shulk's FS.

From Operation Rainfall desperation to full-fledged Smash character; welcome to the family, Shulk!

We know it's the same actor, the guy who played Shulk in Xenoblade tweeted that he had done VA work for a secret project he couldn't talk about
Really? Sounds the same to me.
At the very least, I'm glad the Xenoblade cast has their British voices. The localisation for that game was stunning.

he sounds a bit more cheerful to me. Definitely the same VA.

Kirby seems so out of place in the artwork.
I love it.
I love it.
I've been playing an embarrassing amount of Xenoblade lately, and I'd say that sounds like his original VA. He's just not doing his "Shulk voice" well.
I think Riki had one or two new lines in the trailer with the same voice. Dunban was definitely the same, but all of the voice clips are directly from Xenoblade.

So those leaks were real? I'm guessing Duck Hunt Dog and Bowser Jr are next. I'm Glad Shulk is in.

He lost track of time.
Okay, I have a few questions as someone who hasn't played Xenoblade Chronicles. (Don't worry I will rectify this soon enough.)
1. I heard the VAs between the PAL and NTSC-U releases had different accents, is that why NoA hasn't posted a trailer?
2. Who was the big shadow at the end of the trailer?

No seriously my favorite part is how they seemingly kept him calling out his moves

I like it too. It just wouldn't be the same without them!
"Now it's Shulk time!" -Shulk
I don't know - It's another sword fighter I guess. Looks okay. The addition of a Xenoblade character is unexpected, even if revealed a bit early through the leak.
That map though! Amazing! I hope it doesn't move too much or I'm forced to play it in Omega Mode.

I don't know about different accents, but the English trailer has been posted on the official Smash Youtube.
Metal Face, a villain from Xenoblade.

1. No. Same VAs for both regions.
2. Metal Face. One of the main antagonists for the game.

Reyn will probably be the Assist Trophy that represents Xenoblade Chronicles in Smash

I would love alt final smashes (or at least swimsuit to go with that outfit) but it is probably just Riki and Dunban.
You've made me want to have a Ridley with voice acting and to talk in that style now
I got that impression too. If it is the same actor it a case of not having done the voice for a few years or trying to play the character somewhat different (as others have said Smash Bros is not so serious). I think that was the case in Star Fox 64 3D (which sounds completely different, due to it being 15 years and different quality).

No it's not, not at all
OH SHIT XENOBLADE CHRONCILES HAS VILLAINS
SUCH WOW
MUCH SPOILER
-.-
It's Shulk Time now!
I hope so. Him or Riki would be the best ATs
Does it really matter?
Why did no one mention this?
Boxer Shulk confirmed.
It's in the trailer. Featured pretty prominently actually.

It was shown during the trailer and I knew it had to be a costume. I guess it is confirmed now.Why did no one mention this?

I love that they seem to be trying to turn Xenoblade into a commercially noteworthy franchise. Smash inclusion + remake + sequel is a good step in that direction, at least.
Can't wait to try out Shulk, though most of his moves looked pretty slow. The Monado powers though... interesting. And as much as I hate having another counter move, it makes so much sense on him.

His head looks strangely huge..eh. I hope he gets another costume, not a fan of the boxers.

Think that might be a taunt, would be really weird to have an AT that is also part of Shulk's final smash

Could be holding off Reyn for post launch content?
Any major character that is not on the roster or as an AT could fill this DLC space... as another example i'm thinking if we don't see anything about Mewtwo at all before launch or in the base game, then he will be DLC.
