I have an idea. What if there was an NPC that you could give juice to(or something) so that he teaches you fighting moves? It would be epic and it would add a bit to the game in my opinion.
Just getting the skills added o the game is a big priority-- some different dashes and moves for melee combat would really spice up the gameplay and enable melee to play faster. We'll see, there'll probably be trainer NPCs for them.
I like this idea. I would like to also suggest that s/he could possibly show you by doing, ways to use the as-is physics system in combination with the arm control/weapon waving mechanic to do things like manipulate enemies in specific ways.
