::I think passive ability is also a good name that is often used in other fighting game communities. Either this or unique mechanic is fine by me, gimmick is too colloquial and imprecise, not to mention it is often used for things that aren't a passive (i.e. "nair is Ike's gimmick).

:::"Passive" was passed up, though, since a lot of these mechanics aren't passive and require input from the player to activate (see above). "Unique mechanic" seems to be a good compromise, though. ~ [[User:Serena Strawberry|<span style="color: #e68;">'''Serena Strawberry'''</span>]] ([[User talk:Serena Strawberry|talk]]) 15:07, November 16, 2019 (EST) | :::"Passive" was passed up, though, since a lot of these mechanics aren't passive and require input from the player to activate (see above).

::::Naming it a "unique mechanic" can be misleading, since a mechanic may be shared with a clone or a different fighter entirely, meaning that it's no longer unique. For instance, Link's passive shield is shared by his clones, Young Link and Toon Link, as well as the Hero; Ryu's 1-on-1 facing and input special moves are shared with his clone, Ken, as well as Terry.
