I have heard tell that Ecop is mediocre as a playable chacracter. I have not yet unlocked him so I can't verify that claim, but if the feature isn't preasant yet I think the perfect way to make him a valuable character is to give players his ability to capture their oponents in the red sphere.

This may sound like it would become annoying, but we could limit the ability to energy draining. That way it will only be available in a competition and will require skill to pull off. Honestly nothing sounds more satisfying than stopping an overpowered opponent in his tracks, and the feeling of that alone would make up for anything that Ecop lacks, who's with me?
