Kameo fighters, while not being switchable characters, are very useful during kombat thanks to their variety of moves. They can hit hard, stun, connect combos, and cancels. They can even teleport you to the other side of the map. Each Kameo features different moves and styles that you can check out in the move list menu when you pause the game mid-battle.
