Introduction and Description
Project NLFFG stands for "New Little Fighter Fan Game" (not a final name, came with the name on the fly. if anybody has a better name in mind, then suggest it!). Project NLFFG is a project which aims to recreate the original Little Fighter 2 magic in a brand new game but with additional enhancements. This project is currently being developed by various members of LF2's official fansite's forum - Little Fighter Empire. If you think you can help, then do it!

So let me start with the most important part of the gameplay: combat. LF2 had unique, fairly competitive mechanics. Hero Fighters introduced new ones from which we may want to see in the game. I will start by asking some questions:

1. Would you like to see an additional stamina bar? And what would it be used for?
   
2. Would you like to have an extra button(s)?
   
3. Would you like to keep the same button input method for LF2 (Defend + Direction Button + Attack/Jump)?
   
4. Do you have any new ideas in mind that has to do with combat?
   

As for myself:

Would you like to see an additional stamina bar? And what would it be used for?

Ah no. At least not in the way HF did it. I hate it when I am running towards the end of the stage, and I am out of stamina and now forced to walk the rest of the distance (until my SP regenerates, at least). Though I feel it was also made to restrict excessive dashing, but I don't think dashing needs restriction.

Would you like to have an extra button?

I think 3 buttons are enough. I haven't found the command button to be useful in HF, but If we're adding a new button, maybe let one insta-fire energy balls? Or maybe grab someone or pick/use weapons/items from the ground?

Would you like to keep the same button input method for LF2 (Defend + Direction Button + Attack/Jump)?

Definitely yes, though I don't see a problem with getting non D(>^v)(action) moves if we need to.

Do you have any new ideas in mind that has to do with combat?

How about back-flips/back-jump without losing your facing upon pressing J<J (Jump + Back + Jump; hold back and click jump again when your character crouches for jumping)? Can be an effective form of dodging.
