I know i'm gonna get flamed for this but, I really dislike SSBB. BuUUUUUUUUUuut recently, a friend of mine has started downloading skins for the characters and one of them was a Black Shadow skin for Ganondorf. Seeing this put a smile on my face and it got me playing it again and it gave me the urge to upload this. It still doesn't change how I feel about the game though.

As for Black Shadow in the F-Zero games, what can I say? Game play wise, he's top notch. If I were to make a tier list for the characters for GX, i'd put this guy at the top. Seriously, I feel like i'm cheating just using him. Most people would complain about his handling, and I would agree since he can be pretty swerve happy at high speeds, but that's what I love about his vehicle. Once you master his handling, he can be pretty fun to use and winning a race with him flawlessly can be pretty satisfying. I also find it weird that while his machine is superior to the Blue Falcon in almost every way (and pretty much every other machine it seems) he still seems to lose to it. Meh, it's just cannon I guess.

As for a villain, I think he fits pretty well. I didn't know much about him in X other than he was the main badguy, but when GX came out, I got to know more about him and I started to like him more. Yeah, Deathborn is more sinister but Black Shadow seems like the kind of guy who will ruin your life and have no problem laughing and joking about it in your face. I like villains like that, although the anime made him seem more serious and less "jokey".

I just wish he wasn't killed off at the end of the GX story mode. It makes me wonder if the next F-Zero game will probably be a reboot and feature him alive and well, or if they'll continue where GX left off and probably have a new character donning the suit and horns. I think that'd be cool, kinda gives it a mystery element.

Lastly, another thing that inspired me to upload this was that I remember seeing a few comic book covers that shows the villain holding up the defeated hero all tattered and whatnot, which was kind of what I was going for here.
