Character action template
One enemy in one arena, a light attack, a heavy attack, and a dodge you can press too late. Devil May Cry 5 (Capcom, 2019) scores how that string looks. Hi-Fi Rush (Tango Gameworks, 2023) locks the same hits to a beat. Get the dodge to cancel the recovery before you add a second enemy. The camera problem is the 3D game maker. The hit problem is the AI fighting game maker.

What makes a character action
Character action: one stylish hero with deep combos fights hard enemies in 3D.
The games that set the standard are Devil May Cry 5 (Capcom, 2019), Bayonetta 3 (PlatinumGames, 2022) and Hi-Fi Rush (Tango Gameworks, 2023).
What the template starts with
The character action template starts with one arena, one enemy and a light-heavy combo with a dodge. That is the smallest version of the loop that defines the genre: read the enemy, combo, dodge, style rank.
What to change first
Fight the one enemy until a dodge after their swing lets you keep your combo, and a dodge during your own swing does not. Style can be a word on screen later. The cancel is the part you will feel.
2D or 3D
The character action template starts in 3D.
