Any other stance fighters you want?

Stance fighers meaning characters like Pokemon Trainer, or Pyra and Mythra. Who would you like to see make this status?

Personally, I'd really like to see X and Zero become a stance fighter. To me, it would just feel wrong to have one without the other. X focusing on medium and far ranged projectile attacks, and Zero focusing on melee.

Monster Hunter could work as a stance change character by swapping loadouts and completely altering the moveset.

Nightmare (Soul Calibur) and Deoxys (Pokémon) are two stance/transformation characters that would be really cool to see. Dixie and Kiddy Kong would be great as well.

This one is a little more out there, but I think it could be really fun: Xehanort, Ansem, and Xemnas from Kingdom Hearts. Since Ansem and Xemnas are just parts of Xehanort, it could make some sense to switch between the three even if they didn’t in Kingdom Hearts. That way, you can represent the entire franchise having the main antagonist of each game while technically still being the same character.

Adol and Reimu could work as a stance-swap character, though it's not a guarantee. Adol can use greatswords and rapiers in addition to the one-handed swords he's known for in the sixth and seventh games, and most Touhou games give you the option to change your shots somehow, such as alternate sets or different modifiers. On the topic of Reimu, Focusing is more or less a stance system in and of itself, so there's that too.

A Digimon Tamer could be cool, where you switch or "digivolve" between Agumon, Greymon, and Metal Greymon or something similar, or maybe just Agumon with different Digimon you switch between. Because while you could just add Agumon and call it a day, it'd be nicer if you have more. It would probably represent the series far better as well.

I like the X and Zero idea the OP has, too.

Other than that, can't think of much.

it so happens that two of the last faint hopes i cling to for the Fighter's Pass would be stance fighters!

i hate myself a little for having a blue-haired sword user so high on my wishlist, but i'd love to see Deltarune's Kris get in with Ralsei and Susie by their side

and Breath of the Wild's Champions, too! getting all four of them would almost make up for passing on so many other good Zelda options over the last two decades

I know this’ll never happen but I think the Axem Rangers from Super Mario RPG would work interestingly well with that mechanic.

I’ve been playing Hades lately and I think Zagreus could work quite nicely as a stance fighter. At first he would have a kind of standard moveset but then you could switch between different blessings from each god which would change his moveset slightly and give him a lot of variety. It would be pretty complicated and he would have a lot of moves but I think it could work.

I would want it to be Nightmare.

A long time ago, before Pac-Man was revealed, I thought a Namco Museum stance fighter with Pac-Man, Taizo Hori, and Mappy would be super cool. Maybe that could work today with Pac-Man swapped for someone like Valkyrie or a Galaga ship.

personally I’ve always wanted a playable Lakitu with 2 different movesets depending on whether he’s riding the cloud or grounded

zacian/zamazenta would be cool too especially since all the current stance characters only use it offensively
