Class separate from primary player body
Capable of controlling animations using travel
Capable of controlling movement
Can be locked/unlocked based on energy available

Approaches

Function state machine

Single function per state, if an enter/exit function is needed, it's a state that immediately moves to the process state, or to the next state.
Requires configuring either all in one place, or function-local.

C++ Class State Machine

One object to represent all of enter, exit, process, physics process, setup, etc
Allows configuring states separate from body
very code-dependent, configuration and setup all has to happen in the code. Also difficult to debug as such

Node State Machine

Enter, exit, process and physics process, as well as setup and input functions are all included from the get-go
States configured in the editor, separate from the body/machine
Makes switching states slightly difficult, as all objects are ticking at once unless told otherwise (opposite of a usual state machine).
Makes stacked state machine very easy
