Lo-Fi Games

It would be cool of you can learn new skills/moves and be able to assign them.
Like being able to assign different kinds of attacks.
Martial arts would have different kinds of punches and kicks that does different effects.
Or swords will have some kind of counter attack or parry.
Characters will also have limited slot which can be unlocked by leveling up.

while i would like more combat styles, and perhaps more personalities to go with characters. i don't think have MMORPG type skills and hot keys really match the spirit of Kenshi >.>

problem is, this is squad based combat
not a FPS. so it wouldn't work.

It would work just like MA does now.
as you get better you can do more things, like block and counter attack. It would not need to be something manual. just allow us to pick the technique that they want to learn.

Like I thought it would be nice to have an all around spin move. But you would only be able to learn and train in when you were high enough skill with that weapon and fighting.
An overhead power attack with double damage for heavy weapons.
A butt of the weapon short strike with little damage but it disrupts that attackers attack.
Speed strikes that require light weapons and do less damage but allow you to hit more often.
weapons lock that prevents either you or your opponent from striking or blocking other attacks.
disarm that would focus damage to the opponents weapon hand.

I do think that would make characters more interesting and give them more diversity.
