fighting game mechanics

• a character where their attack power increases as they are damaged
• but their moves slow down
• vampire character/ werewolf
• health draining attacks
• combo traditional fighter / platform fighter .. how would we change the format without changing the mechanics?
• once you get low health you get buff you can spend on unique special attack
• characters with whips
• a character who grows vines and roots to attack... they act as shields
• a grab that works at range
• dead cells war javelin (weapon you teleport to)
• puppet character
• a character where after you land a certain number of combos you transform ... attacks in stronger mode drain your HP... have to use a special to exit.. then you get some health back...
• if you get all of a certian item you transform.. insane damage but constantly losing health
• more interplay between main character and puppet
• puppet character has to spend a resource to set up a move with the puppet but then the puppet uses that same resource when they move as a balance
• special the main character has... when they are close enough to the puppet the move is cancelled and the main character does a special move... you can set up a combo sacrificing the main characters movement to hasten the recovery
  • explicitly summon the puppet
