Since there are no other F-Zero representatives besides Captain Falcon, I've taken the opportunity to make a character on one. And the character I've chosen has been a favorite for some people. That character is Ms. Jody Summer.
However, Jody later found victory to be quite difficult as she was still a rookie pilot and less than a shadow when compared to veterans like Captain Falcon. Regardless, Jody is often commended for her ability to control an F-Zero machine at peak speed. An incredible feat for a rookie. This also gained the affection of another pilot, John Tanaka, who is often in the same races as Jody, and vows to protect her from any harm, despite Jody's own dismay.
Introduction and Overview
First Appearance: F-Zero X (1998)
Latest Appearance: F-Zero Climax (2004)
Background
Jody is one of the few female pilots in the F-Zero Circuit. She is a former officer for the Galactic Space Federation who started racing in her late teens after her father, Mason Summer (Inventor of the G-Diffuser system in the F-Zero universe), died in a fatal accident. Swearing to honor her father's memory, Jody decided to enter F-Zero with the help of her allies from the Galactic Space Federation, which lead to the creation of her machine, White Cat. Named after the nickname her father would associate with her.

Moveset
Like Captain Falcon, her moveset would be pretty original, utilizing her acrobatics.Entrance: Jody hops out of her machine and get into a fighting stance
Taunts:
Up: Jody stretches her arm saying, "Anytime now."
Side: Jody flips her hair then places her hand on her side saying, "Is that all you got?"
Down: Jody adjusts her boot saying, "I can get used to this."
Attacks:
Jab: Jody does a punch, then a kick, followed by a rapid series of kicks
Dash Attack: Jody does a flying kick
Forward Tilt: Jody does an upper kick
Up Tilt: Jody kicks upwards
Down Tilt: Jody does a jabbing low kick
Neutral Air: Jody does a kick
Forward Air: Jody does an ax kick
Back Air: Jody kicks behind her
Up Air: Jody kicks above her
Down Air: Jody kicks towards the ground
Grab: Jody reaches out towards her opponent and hold them by the collar
Pummel: Jody knees her opponent
Forward Throw: Jody kicks her opponent away from her
Back Throw: Jody does a circle throw
Up Throw: Jody does a circle throw before kicking her opponent into the air
Down Throw: Jody throws her opponent to the ground before delivering an ax kick
Forward Smash: Jody does two kicks forward
Up Smash: Jody does two roundhouse kicks above her
Down Smash: Jody does the splits
Specials:
Neutral: Claw Shred - Jody braces herself for a brief second while bringing her hand back while yelling, "Claw Shred!" before unleashing a fierce slash attack
Forward: White Streak - Jody does a flying kick while a white streak erupts from her foot
Up: Catapult - Jody jumps high into the air doing a backflip. If any opponent are close to her, she kicks them three times. Think a mix between Captain Falcon and Zero Suit Samus's up specials
Down: Cat Pounce - Jody somersaults into the air before unleashing a powerful drop kick
Final Smash: White Cat - Jody calls her machine which zooms across the stage. Any opponent caught gets taken to another area which then cuts to Jody inside the cockpit as she fires a barrage of missiles at them

Argument
Now, one case that can be made against Jody is that she doesn't even fight and she never leaves her vehicle. However that couldn't be further from the truth. Look at Captain Falcon when he appeared in the original Smash. He also never left his vehicle throughout the games and when he appeared in Smash he was given his own moveset and playstyle. Or another example would Fox. Before Smash, Fox wasn't seen outside of his Arwing throughout most of the main games until he was given his own moveset. I could go on and on with other characters like that. I think I remember a quote from a post I've saw that said, "Potential trumps presentation". And like I've said, Jody does have her fans and most of them would like to see her make her debut.Supporters
