I know my first main, Grandmaster Sub, has great synergy with Lin Kuei Temple as well. You can open the match up with D4 into Clone, have a Clone shield up and throw a projectile at them, also many other times in the matches. You can also set up a Clone, use the "leap" interactables to jump behind them, and then immediately Slide or JiK or something similar, and it can push them into the Clone give you a combo follow up.
Hat Trick is similar because he set up a Hat Trap then jump over his opponent and you got him covered on both sides. You can also Divekick in the air meaning he is really strong user of the bells.
I make use of interactables more than anybody I've ever seen lol, but I enjoy playing like Jackie Chan, he's my favorite martial artist too
