Early in ''Ultimate''{{'}}s lifespan, many pro players placed Shulk as a high tier or even occasionally a top tier character in their own tier lists; however, Shulk lacked the strong results and representation of many other high tiers and top tiers at the time. Part of this could be attributed to his high learning curve and usage of advanced techniques such as [[Dial Storage]], resulting in fewer players using the character. As such, Shulk remained a rare yet dangerous character in the early meta. Shulk players have gradually seen more success, with Kome placing 2nd at {{Trn|EVO Japan 2020}} and Nicko winning {{Trn|Play With Heart}} and placing 2nd at {{Trn|Port Priority 5}}. Due to these results, Shulk now has the some of the best results out of any sword wielding character in the game along with {{SSBU|Roy}} and {{SSBU|Lucina}}, with some considering him as the best swordfighter in the game. Players often cite his large disjoints and usage of Monado Arts to escape combos or kill confirms as some of the character's best strengths. Overall opinion on Shulk's placement in the game's tier list has been slowly shifting into unanimous high tier or top tier status, and {{Sm|ESAM | Early in ''Ultimate''{{'}}s lifespan, many pro players placed Shulk as a high tier or even occasionally a top tier character in their own tier lists; however, Shulk lacked the strong results and representation of many other high tiers and top tiers at the time.

<!--If you are planning to add a player you consider to be notable, please provide tournament results in some shape or form in the edit summary (be it a link to a results thread or bracket of placing high in a tournament of other notable players or a video of them beating a notable player). Winning tournaments without notable players present is generally not enough to warrant a spot.--> | <!--If you are planning to add a player you consider to be notable, please provide tournament results in some shape or form in the edit summary (be it a link to a results thread or bracket of placing high in a tournament of other notable players or a video of them beating a notable player).
