Medic in fighting game

How would you make a character who's primary function is heal people killing people? How do you turn healing into a weapon?

I have a couple ideas about that.

Have a crazy medic, walks around slashing people with a scalpel.

Have the medic use needles that cause different effects (poison, slow, frozen, dizzy, etc).

Have the medic built like Frank West, and pulls out "weapons" like a bedpan, a IV stand, a defibrillator, etc.

:

sounds a bit too much like a certain someone.    Jokes aside those are good ideas but they may not (never know tho) fit my character. I like the needles and the statuses.

OK let me be a bit more open as why Im asking the questions above. Im currently working on Cinnamon from Mega Man X. I am looking in a direction that fits her personality. Cinni does use needles and they do poison enemies....

I have little time to talk about this, but that thing must be said:

A medic is just a creative idea, but you don't make one thing clean:

Are you talking about someone who looks a medic or about a gameplay based on the job of the medic?

For the first cause, the best reference is Valentine for Skullgirls: she is a nurse, your job is save lives; but, she is a ninja too, which means that she kills people...
MAN, THIS IS SO CONFUSING! IT JUST DON'T ENTER IN MY MIND!

Anyways, this is a video with some combos of her:


For the question of the gameplay... Better leave it for another moment, right?

Interesting

Dont understand you





So that video got me thinkng; Needles that poison, defibrillator hands, and medical tape that restrains her opponent.

Also how does this sounds. Cinni can heal her opponents but they take more damage as a result. The logic being that you only need to be healed if you are wounded and if you are wounded you take more damage.

FAUST from Guilty Gear series its a mad doctor with very funny attacks with medical instruments based, even his primary weapon its a giant scalpel.

THE HYPE DID ALL THE WORK.
YOU JUST TOOK THE WORDS OF MY MOUTH!
This is just a great idea. I think that a command grab with these effects its a great, if not the biggest tool for your medic char.

But, here is some more elements of gameplay for your Cinnamon:

*Function: zoning, with elements of grappling
*Weak point: low damage capacity (on the start of the round)
*Best gameplan: weakening the adversary with adverse statuses (poisons, damage dampeners and so on)

About some examples of gameplay, why you don't look for Akuma and Menat, both for Street Fighter 5?
These two are the best examples I can think for this gameplay

Thanx everyone. Im compiling the ideas ive gathered at various places can moved farther with the character.
