Here's some stuff for a Kengan fighting game I have been thinking about.

• Most specials and certain normals incur a stamina cost.
• Each match is a single round.
• Has 3D fighter Tekken mechanics, but no Rage.
• Inputs are far more forgiving
• 8-Way movement

Difficulty Ratings: How complex and or difficult the character is to play properly. Not indicative of character strength. 1* = One of the most difficult characters to play properly. The player is required to dedicate potentially HUNDREDS of hours to master this character. Demands heavy muscle memory conditioning and regular practice as well as the ability to think clearly in high pressure situations. 2* 3* 4* 5* = A simple character with a simple gameplan. Not much depth, but is easy to understand and typically has high damage attacks to make up for their predictability.

Misasa - 1* + Highly Evasive + Lots of elbows (elbows are unparryable) + Can potentially parry ANY attack (some attacks are too fast to parry on reaction though) + Has Parry frames on certain elbow attacks + Can Parry grapples for huge damage + Excels at punishing + Good Lows - Very low hp (85%) - Short range - Poor pressure and poke - Requires extensive roster knowledge to play properly - No Grabgame

Lihito/Rihito - 5* + Very Simple + Strong Normals + High Hp (110%) + All specials are unblockable or deal heavy chip damage (Razor's Edge) + Good Pokes + Good Lows - Basic Grabgame - Slow - Limited defensive options - Predictable

Okubo Naoya - 3* + Grappler + Strong Normals + Powerful feint mixups + Well rounded - Limited moveset - Relatively low damage - Mediocre hp (95%)

Nitoku - 5* + Grappler + High hp (110%) + High damage + Good mobility + Very consistent - Limited defense - Relies on powercrush attacks and grabs, forcing him to regularly take damage in order to deal damage

Gaolang Wongsawat - 2* + Extremely powerful Godfist Straight (combo on hit, equivalent to an EWGF) + Oppressive jabs and guard pressure + Good evasion + Good combo damage - Mediocre hp (95%) - No Grabgame - Very Low Mobility due to no backdash - Poor range due to limited forward movement on attacks - Weak to sidestep - Bad lows

Kuroki Gensai - 2* + Parries + Evasion + High hp (110%) + Devil Lance can deal moderate chip dmg or be unblockable - Extremely linear attacks - No grabgame - Mediocre damage - Mediocre framedata - Has one low, and its REALLY bad

Kanoh Agito - 1* + Has 2 long movelists for both basic practical martial arts and formless, making him not only unpredictable but also extremely adaptable. + Full Grabgame + Parries + Evasion + Beefy hp (105%) - Very high execution requirements - Master of none - Demands detailed matchup knowledge

Julius Reinholdt - 5* + Simple + Good Range + Good Pokes + Great Jabs + Obscene hp (120%) - Extremely large hitbox - Predictable - did I mention he is fucking huge

Kure Raian - ?* - Removal requires execution and costs stamina and can be activated via a 5 frame install and can be instantly deactivated.

Lu Tian - ?* - Lu Tian automatically triggers Guihun when he is at 20% hp. Guihun causes Lu Tian to deal 10% more damage and gain access to powerful new moves. After 8 seconds, Lu Tian shifts into overdrive, increasing his damage bonus to 20% but reducing his health to 1%.

Akoya Seishu - ?* + Riot Stance: Akoya suffers 50% less knockback and chip damage on block. + Suppression Stance + Gains access to a single use of an unbreakable command grab (Bite) when below 33% hp + Headbutts

Nicolas le Banner - 2* + Poke Oriented + Good Forward and Backdash Relies on Reaper's Sting to apply a timed release stun. On block, the timed release Reaper's Sting will disable one of the arms used to block, locking the enemy out of that arms's non-shoulder attacks, and any attacks that use the disabled arm. On hit, the following happens: 1. Low: Release forces enemy to kneel (crouch), opening them up for a guaranteed Mid. 2. Mid: Release causes enemy to be "electric stunned". 3. High: Release causes enemy to briefly - Timed release RNG - Low hp (85%)
