Because the old crap class got declined, I present a new class for ya'll to consider.
Name: Metallix
Armor: 1.4
Speed: 1.4 (holyhellhesfast)
Jump: 1.2 (just a bit higher)
Damage Type: Physical (IE Top Spin, Slash Claw), Laser.
Role: Hack, Slash, n' Run Like Hell
Weakness: Air-based weps (Air Shooter, Wind Storm, ect.)
Weapon Dropped: Turbine Laser (Same as the class' weapon, but without overheat mechanics.)
Weapon 1: V. Overdrive
+ A charging attack not unlike YDPunk's alt, but with a bit more control to it. The attack can only be used while the weapon meter is full, and sends the player flying forward at Crash Drive speeds. Any enemy caught in front will be dealt ripping damage, and will OHKO if a direct hit is scored.
- Weapon meter should fill up (from empty) within about fifteen seconds, to avoid overuse.
- If possible, steering should be drastically hindered while charging, and if the user hits an obstacle or wall during the charge, they take a small amount of damage. There is also a short pause before the attack.
Alt: Slash
+ A basic melee attack. Does not take away from the weapon meter.
- Only deals half as much damage as Slash Claw.
Weapon 2: Turbine Laser
+ Think Yellow Devil's eyebeam (a steady, thin laser), but easier to aim, with slight knockback on targets.
- Instead of an ammo bar, Turbine Laser uses an "overheat" mechanic. The bar will quickly fill up while the weapon is used, and if filled, will start to deal minor amounts of damage to the user until it is stopped.
+ If the class drops below 25% health during overheat, the Overheat Blast attack item will replace Flight item.
Item A: Flight
+ Yes, free-flyin', just like Cloud Man.. Should last only about ten seconds or so.
- Speed is reduced during flight to avoid being impossible to hit.
Item B: Overheat Blast
+ Once the item is gained by overheating the Turbine Laser, the attack will send out a radius blast that will OHKO at point-blank, but deal less damage if the target is further away. Any targets not killed in the explosion will be pushed away by the shockwave.
- Deals 15% damage to the player when used. Only one item can be given at a time.
Skin: Metal Sonic
+ Because this skin is my baby. And the class is kinda modeled after him, so.
- HUD sprites and other graphics will be made by yours truly if this gets approved.

IT'S NO USE
In short, the class tends to hurt himself a lot, but can be lethal in the hands of a conservative player that knows how to ambush, especially using the V. Overdrive. The Turbine Laser is intended to be a "risk = reward" weapon, but if an alt is needed for balance, I'd say a weaker Buster-like weapon would work nicely. Overheat may need tweaking to be sure it's not OP.
I can work on whatever graphics be needed, but I have next to no coding skills, unfortunately.
