Someone once said "don't copy and paste a code into your character if you don't know what it does", can't remember who now.this I can agree on.
What I mean is, you probably want your character to feel unique and not a clone of someone else's, at least I wanted, so do the code all by yourself even if it will be the same thing as another character.but please don't follow this advice. I'm not a character creator but I don't think I need to be to notice that this approach to coding is very unproductive. Like ok, it works in this particular context (you're learning, so doing things on your own from scratch and comparing results helps with learning process), but the advice given was in general.
It can work if the referenced character is far from source (by copy pasting you're duplicating the same problems that makes the character feel off). But let's say refusing to reference perfectly fine latest Jmorphman's Ken code and doing shoto moves from scratch instead? Nah, I wouldn't recommend that.
