[Character] The Box - A Character Pack by Gunla [v7] v7

[Gunla]

Looking for semi-obscure characters you may or may not have heard of? Are you a fan of bottom right statblock oversaturation? Not tired of anime in your kart racer?

Welcome to... The Box. It features characters done by Gunla, from wildly different mediums. Characters listed below include their stats, default color, audio source for voice lines and specific prefix ID (two letters for series, two for the character) to help servers have less of a hassle by avoiding ambiguity in skin conflicts.

What's in the box? Take a look for yourself...

Spoiler: Characters

A.I. (Dodonpachi)

• Weight: 9
• Speed: 8
• Default Color: Walnut
• Prefix: DDAI
• Audio Source: Dodonpachi Daifukkatsu

She isn't sure if she wants to kart you, but for Next EXY, she will. Dodonpachi's AI utilizes her heavy frame, large twintails and flight capabilities to produce a racer that's great at leading the race, but bad on the recovery.


BB (Fate/Extra)

• Weight: 6
• Speed: 8
• Default Color: Lavender
• Prefix: FXBB
• Audio: Fate/Grand Order

The final-boss type kouhai from the far side of the moon enters the race. She's got great stats for frontrunning and bullying middleweights, which is what she does best!


Cordelia (Fire Emblem)

• Weight: 7
• Speed: 7
• Default Color: Red
• Prefix: FECD
• Audio Source: Fire Emblem: Awakening

The Galeforce-spamming pegasus knight enters the race with perfectly balanced, offense-oriented stats. While not able to frontrun as consistently as others, she gets the job done in great fashion.


Hululu (Kemono Friends)

• Weight: 4
• Speed: 6
• Default Color: Nova
• Prefix: KFHU
• Audio: Kemono Friends 1 (Nexon Game)

Straight out of Japari Park, it's Hululu! She's a bit of an airhead, but she'll try her best to win the race. Her stats are balanced, but faster and lighter than Knuckles, making her not exactly excellent at leading the pack, but a respectable racer nonetheless.


Orta (Panzer Dragoon)

• Weight: 4
• Speed: 7
• Default Color: Raspberry
• Prefix: PDOR
• Audio Source: Panzer Dragoon Orta

Trading her dragon for a Kart (I suppose it gets better mileage?), Orta enters the race. She shares her stats with NiGHTS, making her a character with above average speed and decent handling.


Silver Surfer (Marvel Comics)

• Weight: 5
• Speed: 9
• Default Color: Silver
• Prefix: MCSS
• Audio Source: MUGEN

Arriving in cursed and blessed fashion, Silver Surfer had an accident attempting to utilize some propane from a neighbor and opts to utilize a kart granted by the POWER COSMIC. He reaches top speed in the game, and with average weight, he doesn't have a horrible time drifting.


Bede (Pokemon Sword & Shield)

• Weight: 6
• Speed: 7
• Default Color: Purple
• Prefix: PKBD
• Audio Source: Dragonball FighterZ (come on Nintendo, give me a voice actor...)

With a chip on his shoulder and one hell of an attitude to match, Bede takes a detour in the Galar region and ends up on the racetrack. His stats are aggressive, but still balanced enough to allow him to be fairly versatile. So then why does he use Frieza voice clips? Because Nintendo/TPCI hasn't given him a VA yet and I thought it would be funny - once he's given one I'll update him as such.


Zero (Mega Man Zero)

• Weight: 4
• Speed: 8
• Default Color: Raspberry
• Prefix: MMZR
• Audio: SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos

The red hero arrives into the racetrack! (Again.) This rendition of Zero is based off of his design in the Megaman Zero games, so he's sacrificed some of his bulk for a bit faster speed.


Aevum (OC)

• Weight: 5
• Speed: 8
• Default: Gold
• Prefix: PNGL
• Audio: Fire Emblem: Heroes

Arriving from an otherworldly spacetime, the mysterious, haughty and powerful Aevum heads into the race!

Gunla updated The Box - A Character Pack by Gunla [v7] with a new update entry:

v7 - Alice & Individuals

A somewhat premature update, but the Box has been updated to Version 7 (or v7), introducing a new character and sprite updates to 1 character.

Individual files have been added for all characters as well. I'm currently in the midst of working on a lot of updates to older characters as well as a new character which will take me a while, but in the meantime, with the new MB move I've opted to update anyways.
