Mach Rider would be a better addition than another F-Zero character and still be able to be a rival to Captain Falcon.

one problem with that on the arcade screen you can see he has a six pack and its a like vin deseali still think mach rider is a he. however, if sakurai chooses to surprise us and unveils the character to be female, i still wouldn't mind.
Or he's just got that much skill. I mean, it's not like Link or Marth lose a grip on their swords.A mounted Mach Rider would be incredible. In case there needs to be an explanation of why Mach Rider is not knocked off the bike, he can be chained to his ride. Or handcuffed to the handlebars.
I've read movesets that made that work as a counter, which would make a bit more sense since Mach only explodes when hit.Or he's just got that much skill. I mean, it's not like Link or Marth lose a grip on their swords.
... Yeah, I can see his design including some sort of tether or explanation as to how he stays on his bike. Maybe when he gets hit his bike breaks into nothing and when he stops being in a tumbling animation it reforms a la the original game? I don't know how how to describe it but in the original game getting hit causes you to disintegrate, and if you have an extra life he then reforms. It was suggested in this thread as an up special which could also work. It also could be a nice death animation given that Mega Man has one.
Ooh, that's a neat idea.I've read movesets that made that work as a counter, which would make a bit more sense Mach only explodes when hit.
Considering how his designed changed simply for a trophy in Melee, it's a plausible scenario.What if they kinda retooled him like they did with Pit in Brawl? Pit's bow gained the ability to split into two blades, there, which never happened in the original game.
So maybe Mach Rider's bike could transform, or merge with him or something. Or he's a cyborg and it's part of his body. There are a lot of possibilities.
It would be perfect, rather than just a Skin for Gannondorf or another similar fighter to C Falcon, we could get not only a retro character and a unique fighter, but the spiritual predecessor to Falcon Punch.I think he's better than another f-zero character
Don't forget his bike and reanimation ability!I'll try to make a moveset for Mach Rider.
Since he'd likely end up like Captain Falcon i'll base his moves off of Kamen Rider, Hokuto No Ken, and Ghost Rider.
I'll post it when it's ready.
My god I'm going to have to follow you to keep up with these.Hey guys, according to this list, how would Mach Rider's moveset be classified? (hybrid classes are possible):
Zoner - Character whose strength lies in forcing their opponent to stay in a certain area. Ex:
Ranger - Character whose strength lies in their ranged attacks to force opponents to keep their distance. Ex:
Speedster - Character whose strength lies in their speed and ability to overwhelm their opponents with relentless attacks. Ex:
Trickster - Character whose strength lies in a quirky moveset that is hard to predict and can alter the battle field. Ex:
Bruiser - Character whose strength lies in devastating attacks to quickly finish off opponents. Ex:
Resistor - Character whose strength lies in super armor that allows them to tank hits to strike down opponents. Ex:
Puppeteer - Character whose strength lies in overwhelming opponents with relentless attacks stopping opponents from striking back. Strength in numbers. Ex:
Juggler - Character whose strength lies in being able to string combos together to finish off opponents. Ex:
Yeah...sorry about that. I just like talking about Smash Brothers.My god I'm going to have to follow you to keep up with these.
But there ain't no competition: Speedster!
I could see a mixture of bruiser and speedster. I could also see him being permanently on his bike, and using it as a zoning tone for those below him in a unique fashion.Hey guys, according to this list, how would Mach Rider's moveset be classified? (hybrid classes are possible):

Which character type do you think would give Mach Rider players the most struggle?I could see a mixture of bruiser and speedster. I could also see him being permanently on his bike, and using it as a zoning tone for those below him in a unique fashion.
