Glad you asked, TheSuperHunter. Some assists, like in some Naruto Ninja Storm games, will be a 'summon' where a character appears on the stage and attacks the enemy once then leave (Example: Sheila fires her cannon at the enemy or Andy rolls at the enemy and dentonates). A.I.'s would increase a characters stats when equiped to them, like in a DBZ game where you edit a characters attacks (Example: when Omega is equipped, attack damage increases or when Gamma is, the character can't 'flinch' when being damaged). Some would allow the character to take the object for a short time and use it against enemies, like the vehicles in Anarchy Reigns (Example: using the Warthog to run over enemies and shoot them or the monitor to follow them and use "lazer face"). Lastly, some assists completely change the battlefield in some way to aid the user (Example: Director using the M.o.I. lazer to obliterate the landscape or Vic to move the characters to another location). I hope this answers your question, Hunter (mind if I call you only that as a nickname?).
