fighting game character that's just fifty dudes in one giant crowd. nothing exceptional about them except the fact that there's fifty of em and they all want to fight
Iteration on this: they only show up one at a time but every time enough health chips away they go down and the next guy slides in. By the time the match is over there's just a pile of unconscious dudes on the floor.
The finisher is like ten bros rush you at once and do that weird kick people do when they're in a circle around someone on the ground
Alternate costumes for gals, people in suits, street punks, dorks in morph suits, etc.
Character starts off weak but gets stronger as the match progresses because each new character can throw the unconscious bodies of the former characters at your opponents. Note that this ability has a major start up lag because you’re a normal dude throwing another normal dude by grabbing ankles and spinning, but if you pull it off you just smacked someone with another person it hits hard.
If this is mortal kombat levels of gore, instead you can pick up parts of the former characters and like, wield the last dude’s arm as a club.
I definitely thought about this option, and "hit a motherfucker with another motherfucker" is always a classic, but I left it alone for the same reason my brain doesn't want the gory version: it is infinitely funnier to me if these chumps are just absolutely useless on their own.
This is the side-scrolling Beat-em-up mooks as a fighting game character.
