Unlock Message: Reyn, the charismatic soldier from Colony 9, joins the battle!
Description: Reyn is a member of Colony 9, located on the Bionis' shin. He's part of the Colony 9 Defense Force, but leaves to join his best friend Shulk on his quest to defeat the Mechon. In Smash Bros, Reyn reflects the tanky playstyle he has in Xenoblade Chronicles, being a very heavy but slow character. His Auras allow him to prioritize different stats while forgetting others, similarly to Shulk's Monado Arts. Despite calling himself a blokehead, Reyn takes skill to use properly.

Sword Sting- Quicker and deals less damage, but has shield break properties. 20% Shield Shift- Reyn does not heal from the counter, but he can reflect projectiles that hit him when this move is used.
Set 2- Spike Auras- Stronger Aura buffs and debuffs, but the duration they last and their cooldown afterwards is greatly impaired. Rampage Swing- The attack lasts longer and the move can now hit the same opponent multiple times for more overall damage, but recovery potential is greatly reduced. 6% each hit. Storm Drive- Deals no direct damage, but sends a large windbox in front of Reyn, blowing away opponents. Also much quicker to use.

Snake: Another soldier, huh?... And his equipment looks decked out.
Colonel: Reyn and his allies are always on constant upgrading. Without improvement, they wouldn't be surviving like they do now.
Snake: ...You know, I never really minded taking someone under my wing.
Colonel: S-Snake?! That's so unlike you!
Snake: I'm just saying the kid shows potential. Geez...
‘Palutena’s Guidance:
Pit: Whoa! Reyn on the loose, people!
Palutena: Yes, that's Reyn, one of Shulk's best friends and allies. Even without something like the Monado, Reyn still pulls his weight around.
Pit: You can say that again... This guy towers way above me! And it's like my attacks don't faze him at all!
Palutena: Focus, Pit. Reyn is a glutton for punishment. He's willing to take some bumps if it means he'll pull through. Reyn is very defense-oriented, meaning that he's very hard to launch and is near impossible to interrupt his attacks. I recommend that you go for grabs, since he can't block those.
Pit: Really? Are you SURE that'll work? Cause... This guy towers above me.
Palutena: His confidence clearly towers above yours as well, Pit.
Pit: Yeah, sorry... I'll dodge the painful stuff and attack when he's open! Ain't over yet!
Palutena: ...Is Reyn your hero or something?...
Kirby Hat- Simply Reyn's hair.

Reyn with AI Shulk versus Ness, Lucas, Mewtwo, Lucario, and Metal Face (not on team) on Gaur Plain. Shulk's Monado Arts affect both Shulk and Reyn. Keep Shulk and yourself alive and defeat the opponents on Gaur Plain to win.
Adventure Stage: Colony 9- Mechon Invasion
Newcomer Video/Reveal Trailer: A video of Shulk getting nearly defeated by various characters, then Reyn showing up and defeating opponents while showing off his moves.

‘Trophy (not them): Colonel Vangarre- A man with a VERY short temper, Colonel Vangarre is the leader of the Colony 9 Defense Force, despite his insanely risky offensive manuevers. In Smash Bros, he can appear as an Assist Trophy, telling the characters to perform 50,000 squat jumps and the like. Strangely enough, Vandamme from Xenoblade Chronicles X shares his Japanese name, which is Colonel Vandamme.
