Fighter Ability

Fighter Gimmick

In Terrible Platform Fighters, a Fighter Gimmick or Fighter Mechanic describes a special mechanic specific to certain characters. They can grant said fighter a passive ability, a chargeable meter, extra moves in their arsenal, an ammunition system, or other mechanics that are not directly linked to their standard moveset. Certain moves and mechanics can be described as a character's "gimmick", but are not strictly fighter abilities due to being too universal or restricted to a single move.
