Your saying they have to make 3 different variants of each attack? Lol
I think the crouch attacks are a good idea. Just put: 5 ground attacks, Up down side side and jabs/combos or whatever.
5 mid-air attacks, up down left right neutral(not moving)
4 specials, up down side side(the side-side attacks are the same) shielding, walking, dash, run, (run is after the dash) skid(when they turn around while dashing) idle, crouch, climb, spot-dodge(dodge in place), roll (left and right), and then the extra stuff like jump intros ect.
Actually, I don’t think the crouch attacks will work that well unless crouch is a toggle-able thing every character has.
Then again, it’s your game.‘you can do whatever you want with it, I just wanna try and help.
You can tell me to stop
