@Shulk: Buster-whole-match-then-Smash is extremely predictable, for one thing, and you'll just end up taking loads of damage yourself. So dont do that.

Don't worry, ROB! You'll have some friends once Nintendo releases your amiibo!
...Come to think of it, it's going to be super awkward to have a Mirror Match with two or more ROBs on Boxing Ring.

Shulk's title is the least threatening one by far, even moreso than Diddy's.
Also, Dr.Mario's my favorite. It's so unnecessarily ominous.

I can't be the only one who's disappointed that Samus's title isn't just "The Hunter" can I?

Shulk tend to have two hitboxes on his attacks: the blade and the beam. Those hitboxes may have their own sweetspots or sourspots. The blade hitbox tend to be the hitbox that gives the most damage and launch power.
Make use of the Monado Arts: It's his whole shtick after all. Jump tend to be good for edgeguarding and recovery, Speed is good for getting in and out, Shield is proably best used when you've KOed someone and have percents on you, Buster is good for damage racking and combos once Speed is down, and Smash should be saved for the times where you get good opportunities for a KO.
Remember that Air Slash can hit twice if you press the button twice, which is also nice for some extra air time.
Visions are your counter. If you can predict when the opponent is about to hit you with a powerful attack, use this. It's best not to overuse it though because spamming it gives you less counterframes which makes you more susceptible to attacks.
