Captain Shears

A notable missing character from the Star Fox team at the beginning of Star Fox Adventures is Falco Lombardi. A comic was later written, explaining this absence. The comic told the story of Falco leaving the team after a fight, and joining up with Katt Monroe to help her with a mission on Titania. Meanwhile, the rest of the team also travel to Titania on a mission to protect a Cornerian base from a band of terrorists.

The commanding officer of this base is a dog named Captain Shears. He soon turns out to be the man Katt’s team is fighting against, who are in turn the terrorists Star Fox is meant to fight. It is soon revealed that Captain Shears is secretly a follower of Andross, who has been using his base on Titania as a lab to create a clone of his fallen master.

As a fighter, Captain Shears will be quick and agile, with years of training. He pulls his moves from his abilities shown in the comic, including his sword skills and his boar steed.

Likelihood rating: Non-game.

CAPTAIN SHEARS

And now we come to the end of our characters, with only four left to add. They include:

1. Fara Phoenix

2. Katt Monroe

3. Captain Shears

4. Goras

Captain Shears is a dog captain in the Cornerian military stationed on Titania. He hires the Star Fox crew, claiming his base to be under attack by terrorists, only for it to be revealed that he was cloning Andross, and the "terrorists" were trying to stop him. He uses the standard Cornerian firearms, but also rides a giant boar (which I misremembered as a horse in a previous blog) and wields a sword. He also has the Andross clone at his disposal.

Here's his moveset:

Standard B: Sword Strike

He will dash forward, slashing rapidly with his sword.

Side B: Boar

He will mount his boar and ride it as it charges forward.

Up B: Lift

He will use the lift from his base to move up and down.

Down B: Bonds

He will place shackles from when he took Slippy as a hostage to bind his opponents.

Final Smash: Andross Clone

His Andross clone will break free of its tube and slam down hard on the stage, crushing anyone beneath it.

Entrance: He will rise up on a lift.

Taunts: Up, he will stand tall and look proud. Side, he will perform a flourish with his sword. Down, he will pace back and forth.

Kirby Hat: His hat and shades.

Kart: His boar.

Special Move: Dropping his Andross clone onto the track behind him, where it will take up a lot of space.

Spirit Battle: With Andross, on Macbeth.

Victory Screen: Proclaiming the dawning of a new age ruled by Andross.

Losing Screen: Him being crushed by his own clone.

Color Swaps: A green uniform, a red one, blue, purple, black, white, gold, and black-and-white.

Thanks for reading! Next up, Goras emerges from the desert.
