Dai Goroh (Life & Death)

Dai Goroh (大五郎, Dai Goroh) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Life or Death.
Dai Goroh is the one and only son of Captain Falcon's most notable rival, Samurai Goroh. Entering the F-Zero Grand Prix with his own personal machine the Silver Rat, Dai Goroh's main goal is to defeat Captain Falcon and earn the respect of his father. Due to his young age, Goroh is more athletic than his father.
Dai Goroh is voiced by ???.

Neutral Special	Poison Ball	Dai Goroh kicks a soccer ball towards the opponent. If in direct contact with an opponent, the ball will poison them. If used to hit multiple targets, the one furthest from the ball will receive the least of the damage and poisoning, while the opponent closest to the attack will be poisoned the most. If missed, the ball can be hit back at Dai Goroh himself and provide the same effects.
Side Special 	Rat Blade 	Dai Goroh charges up his sword, followed by stabbing at the opponent with a Silver Rat comprised of poison "bites" the opponent. If "bitten" right, the move will continue to damage the opponent for 10 seconds. If done any weaker, the move will end up only causing minor damage to the opponent.
Up Special 	Ratcopter 	Dai Goroh begins to spin his sword around, allowing his lightweight status to propel him upwards towards the stage, as well as being able to damage any opponents that happen to be nearby during the recovery. Compared to Spin Attack, this move is much rougher and more reckless, leading to one to have to time it right as not to run out of power.
Down Special 	Rat Punch 	Dai Goroh charges his fist before unleashing an image of a poisoned rat towards the opponent. If the opponent is caught within the rat, they are covered in poison for at least 1-2 seconds, with a bit of an after effect. Compared to Captain Falcon's infamous Falcon Punch, it is quite weak but can lead into combos going forward.
Final Smash 	Silver Rat 	Calls in the Silver Rat, which flies through the stage in front of him. If the Silver Rat hits any opponents, a short cutscene plays where Dai Goroh is seen piloting the Silver Rat, and he then runs over the caught opponents and sends them flying. Characters who are not hit during a successful attempt will stay in place (as they cannot be visible at this time) until the end of the move. Like certain other Final Smashes, if no one is hit when the Silver Rat appears, the attack fails.

===Snake's Codecs===
*Snake: Octagon, this kid has a SWORD, something is NOT right about that!
*Octagon: It seems your fighting Dai Goroh, the son of the infamous Samurai Goroh!
*Snake: Oh great another offspring of one of these Smashers, just what we needed... first that Bowser Jr, now this guy?
*Octagon: Much like his father that he idolizes, Dai Goroh is determined to beat Captain Falcon at all costs within the F-Zero Grand Prix, intending to keep that prize money for himself, as well as earning the respect of his father.
*Snake: The kid is 10 YEARS OLD, and he's racing in a deathly intergalactic race AND can wield a sword? What kind of parenting does the 26th Century HAVE?!?
*Octagon: Is now a good time to mention that his father has a hard time disciplining him? At least Bowser has a good hand on Junior...
*Snake: Ugh...
==Fighter Spirits==
Dai Goroh's Fighter Spirit can be obtained by completing Classic Mode. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 500 coins. Unlocking Dai Goroh in The Kiss of Death allows the player to preview the first spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "???". As a Fighter Spirit, it cannot be used in Spirit Battles and is purely aesthetic. Each Fighter Spirit has an alternate version that replaces them with their artwork in Life & Death.
