Black Shadow (Rave)

He is voiced by Jack Merluzzi, reprising his role as Black Shadow in F-Zero GX.
==Attributes==
Black Shadow is a super heavyweight character, being much slower than Captain Falcon in terms of mobility, although he makes it up by having plenty of powerful attacks, due to Black Shadow being a semi-clone of Captain Falcon, much like Ganondorf before him.
