So I think everyone knows Fox pretty well (though in case you don't know, I'd like to note Star Fox Zero went a really long way towards amping the control he shows over the Arwing. He can hover in place for example). All that really needs to be noted is that it has a chicken-walker mecha form, for instances where ground navigation is necessary. I want to take a minute to talk about White Glint, since not many people have played Armored Core.

In brief, White Glint is a custom NEXT (bipedal mecha), a type of machine that is highly nimble and extremely responsive, but requires a psychic pilot known as a 'Lynx' to provide rapid enough responses in a NEXT-on-NEXT battle. It's a terror in its world, defending an entire colony singlehandedly in a world of megacorps and guns for hire, piloted by the main character of the preceding game, Armored Core 4, who vanquished its previous pilot and rebuilt his mecha to honor his legacy. Anatolia's Raven's skill was so surpassing that the the mercenary organization that rents the services of Lynxes sends its two best pilots to take him on (one being the player character), and puts up a huge fight even while outnumbered. You can see what it can do in this brief vid:

I think his abilities speak for themselves, so all I want to note is a couple tidbits to help make the action a bit clearer, since the combat takes place over such long ranges:

-WG has two types of weaponry - tracking armor-piercing rifles, and rapidfire missiles (also tracking). Both the SALINE missiles and the rifles are super-endgame weaponry, and in fact you can only acquire them by defeating White Glint if my memory doesn't fail me. He's one of the last bosses you fight before you have to pick an ending.
-The green flash you see at a certain point is the Assault Armor ability, which generates a massive discharge of Kojima Particles (yeah I know) that deals massive damage to everything close by. It's omnidirectional and quick to activate, though it overloads WG's defenses for a bit (see the next point for details on that). The only way to avoid getting hit by it is to get out of dodge ASAP.
-On top of being tough, White Glint also has a forcefield to help neutralize attacks, known as Primal Armor (which is overclocked to use Assault Armor). It heavily decreases the damage taken by all attacks, though some can penetrate through the particle field better than others, with dedicated field overloading or field-piercing weapons existing in AC4.
-WG is faster than the speeds indicated by the KM/H tracker the player has because that's a heavier, slower NEXT. A lot faster. It also has infinite Quickboost (the thing that allows the player to go at like 1500 Km/h), befitting the legends surrounding it that say that it moves so fast enemies can only see a white blur.

Shine on, you crazy diamond.
