Alright, I was waiting for this. Here's my reasoning.
Although Goroh is the more iconic character and Falcon's rival, Black Shadow is also a villain and can easily fit into that niche.
According to @
GoldenYuiitusin, Black Shadow is a highly requested character in Japan, even comparing him to Ridley and Little Mac overseas. This makes me consider Black Shadow as a serious contender, much more so than I had a few days ago.
Not to mention Ganondorf. I feel like Ganondorf's moveset can translate very nicely to Black Shadow, so you can get a brand new Ganon AND Falcondorf's legacy lives on.
And like @
SaturnGamer64 often says, F-Zero is a relatively large series, especially when compared to Mother or Kid Icarus. So I find it to be underrepped currently, and Black Shadow can fix that.
So we get a villain, more F-Zero representation, a highly requested character from Japan, a brand new Ganondorf, AND we still get to keep old Ganondorf in a way for those who like it.
It's a win win win win win.
And I fixed my roster.
