Fighting Game Movelists

[LansingWolverine]

Man, I've been gone for a while.
Anyways, I've been working on something since June. It's multiple movelists for different characters for a 2D fighting game that some of my mates have been working on. We're still looking for help for character designs and such since our team is only 3 people. I've been assigned to help create the game's battle system. I've already created the basics and around 10 characters already, but I've only finished 2 characters. The point is I want to get your guys opinions on the system I've created. I'll update this when I finish more characters, as at least 80% is probably going to change. Also bear in mind it's my first time doing this kind of thing, so it's kinda sucky.

Move Types

 

Air Throw: An air throw.
Anti-air: They usually cover a good amount of air or can setup nice combos. Typically good against people who jump in too much.
Balance: Usually just a projectile assist.
Capture: A move that captures the opponent. Sets up combos, catches them off guard and can sometimes combo into a Rage Finisher.
Dash: A move that gets the character dashing right at the other side of the screen. Usually does good damage and shoots the opponent away if they are trying to pressure.
Enhance: Usually something fast or speedy, kind of like a dash.
Expansion: Something fairly different for each character.
Ground: A move that usually helps in ground pressure, usually as a projectile on the ground or a strong attack that covers a good amount of the stage.
Heal: A move that if finish, you regain some health.
Launcher: A move that launches your opponent in the air for combos.
Projectile: A projectile attack, helps with defense and also helps your zoning game. Some projectiles are better than others, though.
Rekka: An attack that has multiple follow-ups that forms combos.
Throw: If the opponent is right next to the character, they then will be thrown. Some do good damage and some lightly toss them in the air for combos.
Variety: Something that differs between all characters, and has different outcomes depending on how you use it
