His fighting style and AI start from his archetype. Changing them is his gym's call: his owner suggests a change, the gym's owner or a trainer accepts, declines or counters, and the gym pays once both agree. Demeanor and how the commentary describes him are free to change in the shop's Walkout and Corner steps.
