Hmm...Melee, if you swoop into an enemy you do advanced melee, if you hold down right-click you do basic melee, shouldn't the left-mouse button do something?
I thought of these:
Dash/Energy Punch
If you hold it while swooping, your swoop speed increases for a second and your hand gets a little glowing yellow sprite (Dragonfist style) when you punch. This lasts 1 second so you have to get the timing done perfectly, as unlike basic melee it's not automatic, if you press it too early you'll swoop directly in front of them and miss, leaving yourself open for a melee counter attack. If you press it too late you'd trigger advanced melee before you've pressed the left mouse button. Timing would be crucial. It would do 2x as much damage as a regular basic melee hit. And of course there would be an appropriate ki cost.
If you press it when not swooping, it has the same effect, there's a lightning fast swoop and then a punch. You should be able to do it while walking, running, or just standing still, as well as swooping. Here Vegeta does it while standing still:
Source: Episode 140 - Super Vegeta (specifically the end of the episode). The second pic is one frame in length, you see him standing then he springs off the ground and his fist is instantly buried in Cell's stomach. Note the energy flaring upwards where the forearm meets Cell, that's the energy of the punch and what the yellow sprite should look like.
Charged Hit
Similar to the above, only without the speed-burst-swoop and with a charge and seperate animation, you can pour ki into a single punch that causes your arm(s) to spark and then release it into a powerful basic melee hit. The longer you hold it down, the more energy you put into it and the more damage you do. This is used in Budokai's 1-2-3.
Teleport Hit
If you hold down left-click then when you come within range to hit with basic melee, you'll teleport (leaving afterimage) and reappear instantly behind them and then hit them, meaning it is unblockable. To compensate for this it has the ki cost of a teleport and it does -2 damage.
Choose one/C&C. They're all significant to me.
