Was anyone else pissed that they had the nerve to prominently feature Samurai Goroh in the SSBM intro sequence but then he ended up being a no show in the actual game - save for that worthless trophy? :mad:
(Same goes for Ridley and Wolf...)

Over Goroh anytime if there is going to be another racer in Brawl which I'm not particularly fond of I would want Deatborn.

Beastman / Spade > Deathborn

Anyone else?
This is purely by look. Plus Beastman (by stats in GX) is faster then Falcon, also adding into the F-Zero factor of having the fastest racing franchise...

Deathborn would probably make a great addition to Brawl! He's probably second on my list to Samurai Goroh for F-Zero representation.

I WANT him in, don't get me wrong, but I don't think he has a good chance of making it when compared to other popular F-Zero characters (Samurai Goroh, Jody Summers, etc.)

And I loved the JAPANESE anime, I just wish I could find someplace where I could find the entire series (Youtube only has four or five complete episodes)

I think Deathborn would be the perfest fit for F-Zero rep b/c as some1 stated earlier Deathborn is a cliche villain but Capt. Falcon is a cliche hero. So Deathborn FTW!

He's not fat, he's just big-boned... :chuckle:

I would say post in the Goroh thread (it's in need of some love anyway), but seeing that there's sort of a competition between the two (three if you count Black Shadow, but I don't :p) for who gets the Brawl spot, I say he's fair game for this thread. Honestly, I don't see why we can't include both, as F-Zero's a woefully underrepresented series - it should at least have an equal number of characters represented as Starfox...

:laugh: Just like Cartman.

And yes, I believe F-Zero deserved an equal amount of characters in Melee as Starfox (Goroh was in the movie, but was he in? Nooooo.... same for Wolf too!)

Hopefully, this time Starfox roster # = F-Zero roster #

Fox, Falco, Krystal and Wolf
Falcon, Goroh, Jody Summers (though I don't support her), and Deathborn

Don't forget Ridley - the third member of the "Melee No-show Triumvirate" ...

And yeah that's pretty much my picks as well:

C. Falcon - Main Character, Returning Character
Samurai Goroh - Original Genereation, "Archrival"
Jody Summer - X Generation, Female Character
Deathborn - GX/AX Generation, Villian

I would also really like Pico and Princia Ramode, but you have to draw the line somewhere...
(I'd actually prefer Pico over Goroh and Princia over Jody, but they have greater priority)

I remember this guy from F-Zero GX. A lot of people like Goroh, but, in the end, he's just a fat old man with a sword. Not that there's anything wrong with that, in fact I'd like to play as him. But I can't help feeling like Deathborn's more worthy to be in Brawl. I could see him as being a very master of recovery and mindgames, lacking sheer power, but making up for it in various magical tricks.

It can't be denied that Black Shadow is very stylish, Goroh seems perfect for the game, and I personally would like to see Pico as a knife-wielder, but Lord Deathborn just seems like an interesting idea.

Deathborn should be in Brawl for sure, but his special Brawl attack seemed kinda brutal in the moveset IMO. I dunno, but deathborn for sure. I'd much rather see him instead of Black Shadow.

*WISE FWOM YOU GWAVE!*

And indeed, Deathborn arises from the dead... yet again...

At any rate, does anyone have any good ideas for a Deathborn moveset? Sinistar71's was awesome, but I'd still like to see some other takes. So... Any takers?

He's probably one of the only FEW bad-***(sorry for cussing) characters on F-zero, so i'm all for him. When i owned F-Zero for the Gamecube(can't remember which game it was), i never saw him on there. Only Goroh, Black Shadow, and Capt. Falcon were the only "cool" ones that i saw in that game. I guess i didn't play Story Mode too much, otherwise i probably could've seen him. Anyways, Deathborn FTW!!!!

out of all the possible f-zero candidates (goroh, Black Shadow, Phoenix) i want deathborne the least... i dunno why... maybe its because i don't like his look, or the fact that he doesnt seem like an important villain (he was only in one game and he wasnt even the final boss in the end) or just because i don't see much that his moveset could be based around. dark attacks? lol...

This one's been gone a while...but Captain Falcon really needs a rival in the game, and people seem to dislike Black Shadow.

In any case, I really don't care who they'd put in as long as F-Zero had another rep.

...scratch that because no one has posted on this since I bumped it, meaning that no one gives a crap about this guy. At least Black Shadow had some discussion going, even if there was a lot of negativity toward him. It means he's controversial, and controversial is good. Thus, no way hose, Deathborn.

Pity this board hasn't recived much attention. Deathborn IS the main villian of the F-Zero games, and his theme song + Brawling= Instant win. I'm prbably not gonna get response, though.
