Shulk is the hero of Xenoblade Chronicles, and he joined the roster of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, where every fighter receives a short victory theme on the results screen. Those themes are closely tied to each character's home series, which is why Shulk's sounds heroic and adventurous rather than generic. Players began sharing the individual victory jingles online for use in edits, streams and memes, and the Smash versions remain popular because they are instantly recognisable even without gameplay footage. For Xenoblade fans, the cue also works as a nostalgic callback to Shulk's journey.
