I was thinking of changing the assist deal just a bit, something like that there is a specific input to summon an assist that drains your Gognio bar, but it's completely random on which one you get.
Might I suggest you model it after Marvel vs Capcom's assist system? You know:
randomly select an assist character from a pool of characters before each match
Go into a fight and do an input that's the designated "assist buttons"
and then
wham

Each assist has its' own utility and power, and each has a set number of uses dependent on how powerful they are. For example, if an assist heals you or has screen-filling attack, it's probably gonna have one to three uses (Juggernaut here has 3).
Where something that does a quick, easily dodgeable attack, like a quick dash across the screen or a small spray of bullets, it'll have a lot more uses available (Jubilee has 8).
Or something like that! MvC also has inputs you can put in to get specific partners, and you can hit a button while it's scrolling the list to try to stop the cursor on a specific one, as well. Obviously tweaks can be made, it's just a pretty neat and simple set up.
