Over the past few days, I have managed to create a fighting system for my crossover fighting game idea. In it's current state, you can play as stick figures who each have what will be Homer Simpson's moveset in the game.

You can perform a regular attack string by pressing X three times and you can also press Y to perform special moves such as Homer turning into a giant ball like in The Simpsons Game, and Homer's special attack from The Simpsons Arcade Game. As part of his grab move, Homer can strangle his opponents and they'll be in a unique state as he does so. 

The fighting system in terms of moves/actions is beginning to take shape. Today, I've also added health-bars for both player 1 and 2. Time will tell how good the balancing in terms of move damage will be but I will make sure to play-test with someone eventually with the health-bars and the state I've added for when players run out of health(They vanish out of existence).
