Mach Rider (Smash 5)

Mach Rider makes his first appearance as a playable character to the Super Smash Bros. franchise in Super 5mash Bros. 5. Mach Rider comes from the Mach Rider franchise. The Mach Rider is an unlockable character that incorporates the use of his Mach Rider bike as well as a set of futuristic weaponry and gadgets. He is quite the unique character that he really brings speed and power altogether perfectly. In addition, many of the weaponry he uses is quite advanced - even in Super Smash Bros. His design was largely been revamped to create a more futuristic atmosphere and to make him appear stronger and more muscular.
==Attributes==
Mach Rider is unique in that he can use his neutral special to switch between two forms: his Bikeless and his Bike form. His Bikeless form results in hoofing it on foot. This form makes him more defensible with higher jumps as well as a smaller frame while his Bike Form enhances his power and speed but makes him a easier target and heavier. In addition, his Bikeless form gives him more larger hitboxes and up close attacks than the Bike Form. Both forms has a Custom Special Set A and B thus totaling up to 4 Special Sets with three customs for every move. This also reflects not only for his specials but also his standard attacks, aerials, throws, and ledge attacks. It also reflects in his taunts and entrance animations.
Players who main Mach Rider must know how to successfully switch between the two forms and utilize it well as switching does require some charging time. Mach Rider has a high skill level and learning curve thanks to this mechanic. In terms of power, Mach Rider unleashes all of it with gunfire, explosives, and electrical attacks as well as highly technological gadgets such as anti-gravity grenades and an ability that allows him to condense himself into energy and phases in and out.

Neutral Special	Mach Bike 	0% 	Mach Rider summons his Mach Bike which forms around him, It takes about four seconds to summon it and Mach Rider is vulnerable at this time. The player must hold down the special button the entire four seconds for the bike to be summoned.
Custom 1 	Mach Booster 	14% (start up), 13% (after) 	It takes six seconds to summon but once summoned, it propels Mach Rider forward which allows him to slam into his opponent; dealing high damage. However, he will stop once he hits the opponent and enters into a helpless state.
Custom 2 	Hyper Mach 	0% 	It only takes two seconds to summon the Mach Bike but he is more suspectable to knockback and damage at this time.
Side Special 	Tag Target 	3% 	Mach Rider uses his futuristic gun to "tag" the opponent using a laser. Once this tag is complete, he can fire shots using the side special input command that home onto the tag signature. The shots have great control and will hit the target unless they reach a certain distance, hit another opponent, obstacle or item, and connect with a stronger attack.
Custom 1 	Explosive Tag 	12% 	Instead of firing shots, Mach Rider fires an explosive charge that is slow and not good at homing into the opponent but does higher damage with more knockback.
Custom 2 	Cyro Tag 	6% 	It is slower than the default but the taging portion connects easier. The shots fires have a chance of freezing the opponent; knocking them upwards. They are slower than the default but not as slow as the Custom 1.
Up Special 	Nova Warp 	1% (loop) 	Mach Rider uses his technology to become a blur of blue light and warps some distance away. The warping in is fairly quick compared to characters such as Zelda and the direction the player tilts the control stick influences where he warps to.

The attack will only do damage when Mach Rider initiates the warp resulting in pulling the opponents in and dealing damage as he progresses forward.

Pressing the special button plus a control stick tilt causes Mach Rider to then warp to that location.

If the player fails to input the second warp, he simply reaches the end of the warp and falls back to the ground.
Down Special 	Gravity Bomb 	2.5% (loop) 	Mach Rider throws out a blue ball that explodes; pulling in opponents into a blue energy ball that slowly travels forward. Upon sucking in opponents, it does loop damage as it travels forward; finally launching opponents after it implodes.

Custom 2 	Black Hole Bomb 	1.3% (loop), 10% (explosion)	Mach Rider throws out a bomb that will suck in opponents, cause them to vanish, and then explodes; launching them into the air. The attack only does damage if it sucks in opponents.

Up Special 	Mach Hover 	0% 	Mach Rider can hover in the air by holding down the special button. It will slowly lose fuel though and running entirely out of fuel causes a slow cool down period. The hovering portion has slight super armor but attacks can put Mach Rider into a helpless state if he has too much damage.

====Star KO====
