This system is inspired by Capcom Vs SNK's Groove select system. Basically, you can choose between one of three bars. Each bar gives character certain moves depending on the bar. The bars also provide a special power up mode to each of them that causes a bad side effect after using it and can only be used once. The three bars are called Fire, Ice, and Thunder. Also like CvS, The characters will have 3 punches and kicks.
Here's what the groove bars may look like in the future:
