But Koopaul, without customization, wouldn't he be just another character who can and will always be played the same way? Isn't there some way to make it somewhat customizable without him becoming OP?
Really, I guess what I'm really trying to do is make at least one character who is notably different from many of the other characters. So far, almost all of the new characters we have are very formulaic, keeping very close to the typical Smash Bros. character. So far, I can't think of one character on our roster who has a special gimmick for him that hasn't been done before or isn't some strange combination of existing gimmicks (and even then, that's just one character).
... Maybe I'm trying too hard to be a game designer and should just sprite stuff...
