A platform fighter still takes more then one hit to win

> CRUELTY a one hit fighting game.

Its a subgenre of fighting games ONLY about Neutral instead of combos

VERY hard to balance as In fighting games if you start a combo with a light attack it does less dmg then a heavy attack rewarding risk

but this throws that out of the window with everything being insta win options

So  
789 are kinda unusable because they make you jump  
but 6-1 are useable for Different attacks  
6 Light A  
6 heavy (i think) B  
6 for both AB

18 diffrent attacks  
with no motion inputs such as 236. quarter circle forward

add blocking with 4 and low blocking with 1  
20 options not including jumping dashing air dashes (dashing is double tap forward btw)  
and a lot more  
(6 more if you add dash attacks)  
also because its one tap to win i bet there is a parry system (if not there should be)

each attack has different speed range and animations  
and some hit low for even more mixups  
and not even getting into projectiles

so i got a feeling with all this in mind it will still be Very completed

You Trained in the way of Fighting games  
but i was born in it Sculpted by it  
between  
Streetfighter 2-4  
GGST  
DBFZ  
and many many more  
i play to much fighting games

How would this work? A bunch of parries and blocking? Is it going to be like smash bros?

The img is the 9 possible inputs at any given update

spaces 7 (up back) 8 (up) 9 (up forward) are used for jumping

Spaces 4 (Back) and 1 (Down-Back)  
are used for blocking  
1 (down-Back) is used for low blocking

Attacks in fighting games are called as such

Other Technicalities

6L Forward Light  
3H Down-Forward Heavy

Alright so with 6 inputs while grounded you have  
6 Light attacks  
6 Medium attacks ( Arcade only supports 2 so ignore this part)  
6 Heavy attacks  
THEN while airborn you have  
9 light attacks  
9 medium attacks ( Arcade only supports 2 so ignore this part)  
9 heavy attacks

after that  
you have 4 blocks  
Low airborn  
Low grounded  
Airborn  
grounded

thats a total of 34! (49 if you had a third button) options

Because you said you wont have Input Commands i wont explain them as thoroughly  
But here is a img explaining them

lastly @Awesomefreez  
Smash bros has parrying  
 ![Top 10 Parries/Perfect Shields - Super Smash Bros. Ultimate - YouTube](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/nN3JmS0dEZY/hq720.jpg?sqp=-oaymwEhCK4FEIIDSFryq4qpAxMIARUAAAAAGAElAADIQj0AgKJD&rs=AOn4CLCfN2r76P0QUrHuy8ITx3f_SSGnaA)  
It is done by Letting go of shield the moment a attack hits you
