Okay I've been biding my time looking over the many ideas I had for him and picked the good ones... Now I'm ready! As you must know I've been pitching this one character the wrong way for a while but I've got it down now and you won't be disappointed!
Behold! SAMURAI GOROH
"A sword character? You must be crazy!" Aha what if I told you he I made him a very unique sword character? I have a solution!
Because Goroh is a self proclaimed Samurai, he must also know some martial arts right?
Instead of using his sword all the time like all the other sword users he reserves it specially for his B moves only. The rest of the time he has his sword withdrawn and uses his surprisingly nimble fighting moves.

He's more agile than he looks, take a look at his flips!
At 47 seconds.
I figure I'll use that flip as a dodge or a dash attack going forward.
As for his precious katana I managed to come up with some unique moves.
-For his Standard B Goroh answers to the Captain's Falcon Punch with his own Samurai Sword.
Press the button and Goroh will crouch and reach for his katana. He'll pause for a second HIIIIIIIII... YA! He'll draw his sword at blinding speed and immense power.

Like the Falcon Punch which does a charge before unleashing fast.
-B Side is the Samurai Leap. Goroh dashes up and forward at an angle really fast similar to Wolf's B Side. Except he drops straight down with his sword in a big slice slam!

This can be dangerous to use as a recovery because if you miss the edge you'll drop straight down!
-B Up is Katana Swirl. Like Samus, Goroh goes straight up in a screw attack fashion with his sword. However this move has a lot more range and doesn't suck foes up to do lots of damage. Its weaker too.

The move trades power for range.
-B Down is the Samurai Furry Move. Hold the button down and Goroh will draw his sword and charge up. Like King Dedede's B Down, Goroh can walk around while charging. If you let go too early he'll just do one stab forward. However the longer you charge the more swipes he'll unleash!

Fully charged he'll release many blinding slashes with his blade that look something like THIS
So instead of charging up for one powerful swipe like you usually do in Smash, you're charging up for many fast ones.
I may have made all this stuff up for him, but they aren't far fetched. They're based on what you'd expect to see. Nothing pulled directly from the ass like jet packs or lasers! They're all reasonable moves based on the sword and combat.
Don't worry, I will use as much as I have witnessed from the games like THIS for his fighter stance and taunts.
Whaddya think now? He's the best next choice for an F-Zero character. And its not like I'm choosing PJ the Funky Taxi Driver.
In my opinion F-Zero deserves another rep. Not only is F-Zero a long running franchise with many games, but it was one of the franchises actually chosen in THE FIRST SMASH BROS. Since then every franchise (except Yoshi and F-Zero) has had another character added. Yoshi can't be helped but F-Zero... That's a no brainer!
