combo moves

Linked fighting techniques

Combo moves are sequences of actions performed in rapid succession, especially in video games and martial arts.

In fighting games, a combo chains multiple attacks so the opponent can't block or escape between hits: I finally landed that twelve-hit combo.

The term extends to any coordinated sequence of maneuvers executed as a fluid unit.
