EVR Racer Support Thread! Place Your Bets!

[Pacack]

Welcome to the Support Thread for the EVR Racer!​

EVR Racer is Nintendo's absolute first character. Although not the first full-fledged protagonist of Nintendo (that title goes to Sheriff), the EVR Racers were the characters in what Nintendo considers their very first video game.​

Why Should I Support Him?​

This thread is working under the impression that Mr. Game and Watch and R.O.B. were historical characters rather than your typical "retro" characters. With that in mind, it is reasonable to assume that another historical character will be added in SSB4. EVR Racer fits this role fairly well, although it has competition in the form of Daitoryo, Sheriff, and others.​

What Exactly Was EVR Race?​

EVR Race is what Nintendo considers their first video game. It is essentially just a betting game in which you vote on the horse or car that you think will win. The EVR Racer is just the character that rides the horse or drives the car (it depends on what tapes were loaded into it).​

I could make a roster maker icon. Add me to the support list.

Will do! And please post your roster maker icon here when it's finished.

Will make it later. But I'm busy right now so don't expect it until about two or three ours or so.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Looks like someone finally made the thread
Might be pretty amusing to play as a character on a horse.

 

[Pacack]

BluePikmin11, would you like to be added to the list of supporters?

Also, is there anyone who can make a moveset for EVR Racer? I don't think I'm quite that creative.

He could have higher jumps?

I have no idea.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Sure why not!

I'm finding it difficult to make a moveset without any real source material to work with...maybe Nintendo has an EVR Race player, but no one else seems to.

Sure why not!

You've been added. Any ideas on the moveset predicament?

Also, any high-quality images of the EVR Racer or EVR Race game would be highly appreciated.

 

[YeppersPeppers]

This idea is absolutely absurd.

I like it. Sign me up. ~

You'll be added to the OP momentarily.

 

[Dr. Flinn]

About time I post something

I could make a set. Add me or no set.

 

[APC99]

What's with the sudden increase in WTF characters lately?

Support.

 

[Tepig2000]

After what was said in the Daitoryo thread, it was obvious that you would do this. I support it. Going to do a moveset.

 

[Pacack]

All of you have been added to the list of supporters.

This isn't the fully-fledged version, just the specials.

N- Whip
EVR Racer will pull out a whip, and swings it in front of him. This does meh-y damage and decent knockback, making it good for setting up

S- Car
The EVR Racer hops into a car and drives around for a bit, about 3.45 seconds. In this stage, anyone he runs over will get grounded, like DK's Side Special. Spikes Aerial opponents.

D- Bet
Throwing a coin on the field, EVR Racer will "bet" that he will win. The next time a foe losses a life, they get 1% damage for every coin on the field, with a max of 10 coins.

U- Footstooling mai Horse
EVR Racer, well, footstools his horse. The horse appears where ever EVR Racer lands. Goes about 7 Ray MK II's high, so it's not very great.

:D

What I find funny is that most movesets involving characters riding something (Excitebike, Mach Rider, EVR Racer, Mario/Yoshi) are mainly this:

N: Non-projectile long-reaching attack.
S: Dash attack using vehicle.
U: Footstool off vehicle.
D: Something unique.

Not ripping you, Dr. Flinn, but I think you should try to break this pattern if you choose to remake it. That's my only problem with it, I really enjoy the coin mechanic, and the footstooling horse would be pretty funny.

I think EVR Racer's main form of attack should be the whip, and the horse kicking.

So based around that, the rest can be pretty much filled as it goes.


As for specials, here's what I got:

B: Horse ram (A fierce charge forward)

Btilt: Coin toss (a simple flinch projectile)

Bdown: Off the horse. (The jockey gets off the horse, this can be used in a good ammount of ways, like for example, an emergency KO survival. You press Down+B and the horse keeps the knockback momentum received, but the Jockey jumps off. Without the horse, the Jockey will be a lot weaker, with a lot less moves at his disposal, and can only attack with his whip).

Bup: Carrot throw (this works kinda like Yoshi's Up+B except the carrot does 1% damage, when the player presses B+up again, the horse will DIVE in the direction the carrot is currently at. So it's a sort of parabolyc recovery.

Me gusta. Very interesting.
