As great as that present-opening gif is, he does indeed walk on two legs during the fight besides when opening presents. And I mean he actually walks, not just stands still.

His FS could be him slowing down time for everyone else(?)

[up]What is the "present opening gif" that people are referring to?

[up]Who, Shulk? That's not really how the visions work. He gets flashes of the future and then has a chance to change it. He's not just moving really fast.

So that we're clear, in-context, that's him reeling back from a few too many shots to the mouth. So, shieldbreak animation?

I sure said that!

I think it should be a taunt, although shieldbreak works too.

If Rids is playable I'll be disappointed if he isn't doing that in front of a present Crate in at least one picture.

Pac-Man looks a lot cuter than I thought he would. I thought he would look creepy.

Sakurai wisely opted for the classic design that first appeared embossed on the original arcade cabinet.

I don't dislike him nearly as much as I used to.

Yeah, rejecting the Ghostly Adventures redesign was a great decision in regards to bringing in Pac-Man.

There's still a chance his new appearance will be an alt costume.

True, but at least it won't be appearing in all the artwork or trophies.

Meh, maybe New Pac-man's eyes are creepier in motion, or from exposure, since Google Images doesn't make it look all that creepy.

Oh lord, is it creepy. They gave him too many human characteristics to make his yellow-ball-ness not look deformed and strange. It's like someone took a yellow ball and shoved dismembered body parts into it.

Ms. Pac-Man would be better suited as Pac-Man's alt costume IMO.

I am the only one who voted for veteran. I'm still holding out hope that Sakurai's wording is vague enough to allow for a Captain Falcon reveal. Three minutes of detailing how he sucks far less than he did in Brawl.

Three solid minutes of epic Captain Falcon combo vids including remakes of the Wombo Combo and several combos that make use of the 360 degree Sacred Falcon Punch.

I have absolutely no idea who Shulk is or what game they are from.

Xenoblade Chronicles. I think he's the protagonist.

Yeah, he's the main character of Xenoblade Chronicles, though you can technically (he's FAR more useful than anyone else) take him out of the party. He wields a magic sword, the Monado. I didn't play much (I got bored around the time the Nopons force you to scout out five or so items, still quite early on), but he could use it to predict the future to fight destiny, as well as damage robotic enemies.

Eh, I voted for a new 3rd party. I don't know, Shulk is a big announcement yes, but big enough for a 3 minute mini-Direct dedicated to him?

I still think the newcomer isn't the only one they'll show. We might get one or two veteran confirmations in the video like how the Greninja reveal also confirmed Charizard.

Honestly, each of the party members is powerful enough that taking Shulk out is totally something you can swing. Just about any party combination can work. Really depends on your preferences, and the fight in question.

Shulk is totally powerful, though.

I have a message from another time...

#49475: Jul 12th 2014 at 9:39:07 PM

Shulk's primary advantages are that he can damage Mechon automatically and he gives you a chance to prevent attacks that would be instant kills. He also has the single most powerful art in the game.

edit: Also since some people don't know who he is this is what Shulk looks like.
