A charged attack where a quick tap still works and the levels are easy to feel

Holding a button to power up a strike is satisfying, but a short press must still give a normal attack, the glow must not flash on every tap, and a long frame must not skip a level cue. Here is a small timing table and the three details that make a charge easy to read.

Why this works

A button should never waste what the player did. A press that is too short for any bonus still counts as the plain action, and feedback appears only once the player has clearly chosen to hold, so quick presses stay quiet.

When not to use it

Skip it when the attack must come out the instant the button goes down, such as in fast combos or reaction games. A hold that delays the first hit makes those feel slow; use a separate button for the strong attack instead.
