Chain attacks so a button press slightly too early still counts

Players mash the button a little before the current swing allows the next one, and the game ignores them, so combos feel unresponsive. Here is how to remember the press for a short moment and start the next move exactly when the animation permits.

Why this works

People press a button when they expect the moment, not when the game allows it, so a press a hair too early should count. Keeping it for a short time makes the game feel quick and forgiving, while dropping older presses stops a mashed button from queuing a combo.

When not to use it

Don't use it in games built on exact timing and commitment, where a mistimed press should cost something, such as a slow duel or a rhythm game. Forgiveness blurs the skill there. Read only the press at the exact moment.
