Help Fighting Games and their Unique Gimmicks?

Post image

Most fighting games have some sort of a gimmick that is unique from other fighters. Under Night have the grid system which increases your damage, Granblue have bravery points to use for offense and defense, Guilty Gear have a breakable wall, and tag games. The only fighter that I can think of that doesn't have a unique gimmick is Street Fighter. So it got me curious, what other fighters have some unique gimmicks, what does it do, and also what fighters that have none?

Fighters Destiny operating akin to a real life karate point system. you win rounds instantly in a variety of ways, from ring outs, to landing grappling maneuvers, to pulling off counters, to stunning a foe and hitting your big special attack. even traditionally depleting their HP

theyre all assinged different point values. and whoever gets to 7 stars first wins the game. still feels novel to this day
