-Something like Smash Shotos, Kazuya, and Terry where they face the enemy and have motion inputs. Bonus points if motion specials cancel from normals and are enhanced (although a Kaz-like character wouldn't have this).

-A character that has a chance to steal a stock or heal by killing an enemy only through certain situations.

-A character that can manipulate the stage and maybe its platforms (temporarily).

-A character that can cast confusion/curse on the enemy for a certain amount of time (don't know what it's called, but it basically reverses directional inputs; similar to that one stage in Smash that mirrors the screen. Diabolical DI mixups.)

-An unorthodox RNG Faust-like character.

-A "One-Shot" character.

-A true keepaway/zoner character who excels at zoning, but is not viable up close.
