Final Smash	Monado Cyclone

Shulk is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Calamity.

Changes

Shulk can no longer interrupt all of his aerial attacks before their ending auto-cancel frames.

Aerial Back Slash ends with a spinning slash, making the move safer to use offstage. It can also be ledge cancelled, making it great for recovery.

Air Slash covers less distance and is slightly weaker.

New Final Smash, Monado Cyclone.
