One where you can choose two options:
*Bite
*Defend

When your opponent bites you have to defend. When you bite your opponent has to defend. If you both defend, nothing happens. If you both choose bite, get ready

My favourite thing is choosing the Run or Escape option. I love when a game let's me express myself by constantly trying to escape

Each turn is broken into seconds and fractions of seconds and you choose actions which cost different amounts of time

I always liked the battle system in persona 1 where you need to adjust the placement of your party members because your weapons only hit specific tiles. I also like the active time battle system a lot of final fantasy games have.
