More Fzerovember! Day 8,9 12 and 13.

I don’t care if you’re not an F-Zero fan, I need you to discover this unhinged lore I discovered about a racing game series. Because apparently this vehicle, called the Death Anchor, was originally an interplanetary ballistic missile stolen from the Galactic Federation, and some evil group modified it into a race car. But it’s still rigged to blow up and the current pilot, Zoda, doesn’t know this. And he’s racing it against a bunch of other racers in a highly-televised Grand Prix.

Now with that out of the way, I also want to discuss what this means regarding my desire for a Metroid show to share the same canon as F-Zero GP Legend and incorporate elements from it. Because now I want to allude to this fact by having a Federation interplanetary ballistic missile look suspiciously Death Anchor-shaped. Make it an Easter egg only the most hardcore fans can spot. Because this is simply the most insane thing ever to me and I’m also curious as to what the original missile looked like.

Does anyone in-universe realize the resemblance, do they believe it’s just a coincidence or simply made to look like it, or even if it was repurposed surely Zoda defused the damn thing right??? And then one day someone has to break it to him that he’s driving an active nuke on a race track within a city. This is something you launch from the surface of one planet so it can travel through space and explode on another planet.

Furthermore: When Zoda gets upgraded into his Hyper form in the GP Legend anime, he also gets a new, separate vehicle called the Hyper Death Anchor. I dunno if its resemblance to the original model is purely aesthetical, or if it’s also a repurposed nuke that hasn’t been defused. Because the last we see of it, it’s hurled inside of Black Shadow’s Dark Matter Reactor, which is also a bomb meant to blow up the universe, alongside Zoda himself. And the reactor is blown up, but by an outside source and without the necessary juice it needs; So the explosion is confined to the empty corner of space it originated.

But now I’m gonna say the big explosion we see at the end of the final battle isn’t just from the reactor going kaboom, it’s also from the nuke inside finally going off. And somehow Zoda, who was inside both machines in a matryoshka of explosives, survives all this unscathed and is last seen participating in another race. Using the original, canonically-repurposed and still-active nuke from before, his first Death Anchor. And he still doesn’t know that both vehicles were repurposed nukes still ready to go off, and that one of them did.

Is this a reference to Back to the Future? It’s an 80’s classic turned film trilogy involving a Time Machine built out of a car; Its inventor got the radioactive energy source he needed to power it by promising a terrorist organization to build a bomb for them if they secured said nuclear materials and gave it to him; He lied and sent them a dud. All of this prompts his friend to ask, you’re telling me this thing is nuclear? The Time Machine doesn’t explode, but the fact that a dangerous component was originally meant for a missile, and you can drive it, reminds me of Death Anchor…

Funnily enough, Death Anchor’s origins and volatile nature are lore from the games. Its pilot Zoda is canonically an enhanced, cybernetic human pumped full of chemicals to perform better. In the aforementioned GP Legend anime, he was revealed to have been created by Black Shadow in the future, and then sent back in time to get the main protagonist killed, to prevent his destiny. So, being sent back to the future to change the present, an explosive car meant to be a bomb at one point…

I just really like F-Zero

[blackknightax]

So we’ve discussed two big series but now let’s discuss a series with only one representing member.  Let’s talk about F-Zero.  Obviously representing F-Zero is the mighty, the loved, quite possibly over all favorite of all of smash bros, Captain Falcon.

Captain Falcon uses an original move set because F-Zero is a racing game series.  Off topic but with how much love Captain Falcon has I’m SHOCKED they haven’t made a spinoff that is just the captain doing other things, at this point Captain Falcon is more popular because of smash than F-Zero. I have known a few people who have never played or even heard of F-Zero and thought Captain Falcon was a smash original character.

Onto adding a character.  There is only really one, requested character and one character who some would rather see not be an assist trophy. This being Black Shadow and Samurai Goroh.  I like Samurai Goroh alright and he’d be okay but the fans would HATE HIM because fans are getting tired of characters who’s gimmick is “i have a sword!” To the point that “sword character” is almost an insult at this point.  Asked for Black Shadow… by far, the single, least interesting character design F-Zero has to offer.  He just wouldn’t be interesting he’s a man in a black jumpsuit that that includes a hood that has, horns… he just isn’t interesting. The only reason I’d want him in, is if they gave him Ganondorf’s move set in order to give Ganon a move set that more befits the character. SO my choice is

ZOOOOOOODAAAAAAAA! Well, Zoda, one of the more eccentric character designs F-Zero has to offer.  His machine is the death anchor, a vehicle with high speed, high acceleration and terrible everything else! It’s a very hard machine to use making Zoda one of the hardest characters to play.  I imagine he’s not a loved character to play as. But that’s why this is my choice and, not yours lol.

So i said yesterday i had a full gimmick and move set for this. So to talk about the gimmick, I want to talk about a game mechanic of F-Zero. In that series you have what is known as boost power, boost power is a turbo boost you can use any time you want, but the bar that shows how much boost you have, also is your health bar, you can boost until your down to one, then one crash causes your machine to explode, you die and you DNF the race, losing automatically. So now that we discuss, my gimmick, Zoda will utilize boost power, not for speed, but for power. All of his special moves can be enhanced (think EX attacks in other fighting games) by, I dunno, double tapping the B button? I admit this part is half baked, anyway, when you use the enhanced version of an special, you gain percent, like 5 to 15 percent. So to perform a more powerful special move you have to hurt yourself. Now let’s talk the move set I have in mind. Like Captain Falcon he’ll have an entirely original move set.

Neutral B is a move I call boost magnet. He puts his hand out and it gains a magnet effect on either the closest opponent or all opponents depending on what would be more balanced. If an opponent goes into his hand he performs a grapple attack on the enemy, when used in the air you control what direction he throws. If you use boost power you deal 15 damage to yourself and he pulls much much harder, and the opponent he catches gets hit by a grapple that does massive damage and is meant to be kill move.

Up B is a move I call reverse anchor named for his machine, he uncharacteristically dives directly up but stops all horizontal movement, this does not cause special fall. When boost power is used he goes significantly higher and if he goes into an opponent he jumps off them and does the move again, all this at the cost of 5 percent this also causes special fall .

Side B I call death lunge, he lunges in the direction you pressed and if he hits it launches them a little up, allowing for follow ups, when used in the air it doesn’t cause special fall. At the cost of 5 percent boost power can be used to increase the distance and instead of launching the opponent it actually stuns them allowing for a guaranteed follow up, when used in the air it causes special fall.But when used in the air it stops all vertical momentum.

At the cost of 10 percent death lunge and reverse anchor can be canceled into one another using boost power. When you cancel UpB into SideB you do death lunge with reverse anchor’s upward momentum. If you do it the other way you do reverse anchor with death lunge’s forward momentum. Doing either cancel will cause you to go into special fall.

I’ll admit I don’t have a down B that makes sense in this move set… only one I come up with a boost power set up move, the issue is that would mean there’s a way to use boost power, without dealing damage to yourself, which is not line with what I want Zoda to be.

I want Zoda’s play style to be kind of a risk reward play style built around just bullying your opponent. So I want boost power to always have that cost of damaging Zoda.

i touched my sketchbook after months again once.

Zoda from F-Zero X (1998)

[villainsloversthoughts]

I have important information that I found out about Zoda!

Zoda in the F-Zero GX game has fangs.

And ambidextrous (that means he can use both of his hands to do things)

Ok that all!

All across the city, bars are packed with people of all shapes and sizes, human and nonhuman alike, watching the televisions to get any updates on the competitors in the Grand Prix. Of course, you had your popular Jody Summer, Dr. Stewart, Mr. EAD, and Jack Levin... you also had some not-so popular competitors like Zoda, Samurai Goroh, and Black Shadow. But, the one everyone most wanted to see was the ever popular and renowned champion of the Grand Prix: the racer-slash-feared and accomplished bounty hunter fighting a never-ending battle to keep the peace across the galaxy, Captain Falcon! A name feared by criminals, admired by all, and a true hero to the galaxy, people always eagerly anticipated seeing the Supersonic Slugger grace their TV screens!

30 cars, 5 tracks, one high-speed, death-defying road to the championship. This is F-Zero!

If F-Zero GX came out today and if the F-Zero franchise was just more popular to begin with, Spade would totally be a tumblr sexy man.
