Ray MK II

Games it could have been in: A really cool game where all the characters from the Monster Collection RPG beat the crap out of each other. Pikachu, Agumon, Sunny, Slime, etc., of course including our beloved Ray MK II

First heard of in (site wise): It wasn't really mentioned on the site before...

    Ray MK II is horribly unknown to American audiences. It's a toy robot, of all things, from the wildly popular Nintendo 64 game Custom Robo, only released in Japan. It was rumored to come over seas to the US and such, but no such thing happened. Anyways, the game was somewhat of a crossover between Pokémon, Virtual On, and Super Smash Bros. You played as a child who wanted to become the Champion of the Custom Robo Tournament, and spent much of the game walking around getting in battles with other kids using your toy robots, all averaging 12 inches high or so. You could customize the robots almost infinitely, adding weapons and gear to their six main areas, if I'm not mistaken: their two arms (guns, lasers, etc.), their legs (boots, thrusters, etc.), their chest (armor, etc.), and their shoulders/backs (launchers, mines, etc.). Overall, it was a very fun game. The battles played out very interestingly I might add. The two robots (or four in some cases) would enter into a small arena surrounded by water, darkness, lava, whatever. The arena would have platforms and hazards littered about, as well as crates and barrels to hide behind. The battle took place isometrically, with a 3/4 overhead view as the two robots were controlled by their owners, running around and blowing each other up. Very fun indeed. The sequel, Custom Robo Version 2, saw much needed improvement, and even introduced a remake of one of the robots that players could choose from in the original, Ray MK II.
    Ray MK II is the most average any robot could get in the game, needing very little customization to even out his abilities as they were already very well-rounded. Specifically, Ray MK II is a member of the Shining Fighter line of robots, the best all around. It's specifically a Jumper model, or a robot that excels in jumping and boot-type weapons. And, as you may have noticed, Ray MK II is genderless, as it is, afterall, just a toy robot. Even though it's only 12 inches in height, similar to Kirby (who's actually 8 inches tall), Ray MK II was given a little forced growth here at the Stadium, basically allowing it to reach the height of at least Fox or Mario. Despite its sudden size change to accomodate it better here at the Stadium, Ray MK II still acts like a small fry, not expecting too much of anyone or anything and always making sure to stay safe and unharmed. Ironic, really, because many of Ray MK II's attacks are extremely dangerous, and cause even harm to Ray MK II itself. But, nonetheless, we all wish Ray MK II lots of luck here at the Stadium!

Matches: (None yet)

• B Moves

  Wasupunibara

  This is Wasp Stinger in English. Ray will shoot a small needle thorn from its gun which works a ton like Falco's laser. However, the shots can be held back within the gun, charged, giving them a slight boost in power. Hold down B, and Ray will hold out the gun, charging the shot; let go, and Ray will launch a stronger, faster needle. It can also be fired and charged in the air, and rolling out of the way, ala DK's Giant Punch, doesn't affect the charging at all.
• UP+B Moves

  Kamikaze

  Surely you're all familiar with this word, meaning Divine Wind. Ray will start by charging on the ground like a Fire Fox, then punch its fists together, pull them to its sides, yell "KAMIKAZE!" [or just some "AGH!" noise] and fly into the direction being held. Ray will leave behind a purple streak, and flash red as he travels. Near the end of the ascent, Ray will halt and blow up! This does 25% to Ray, and ultimately, it is thrown out just before the fire diminishes, falling to the ground on fire. However, if this is a direct hit on someone, Insta-KO! It does massage damage to everyone else that touches Ray as well. This move can be cancelled, either by being hit by someone or something, pressing Down during the ascent, or hitting a wall or ledge.
• FORWARD+B Moves

  Fukanimisairu

  This is, in English, Shark Missile. What happens here is Ray will stop to a halt, open its rear launches mounted on its shoulders, and launch two, spiralling shark missiles [like the ones on cartoons]; if the attack is Smashed, the missiles will move faster, in a straight line next to each other, and do a lot more damage, sparkling as they travel. In the air, Ray will shoot the missiles downwards at an angle like PK Fire, and Ray will always get a kickback whenever they are fired, ground or air.
• DOWN+B Moves

  Keikangajakus

  This was supposed to be Power Jacks, but I have no clue what it really says. This is another charging attack. Ray will fold up its arms and start to flash yellow. Every second, you will hear a small tink. Each tink means something. Basically, tapping Down B makes Ray drop behind a small jack, which acts like a mine, blowing up and sending shrapnel out haphazardly. If charging, each time Ray tinks, that means there's another jack being stored. When released, ala the Charged Bombs in Super Metroid, Ray will release up to five jack mines at one. These will destroy themselves quickly, but it is possible for someone to pick one up, just as long as they don't let it blow up in their hand.
