great idea! I'd love to try something like this!
What do you mean with the power you put into your mouse movement? the speed you move your mouse at or how far you move your mouse from the starting position before moving your mouse in that direction?

And another one: What do you mean with the keyboard direction? Just the direction you're moving to?

It's a mix of both distance and speed before you release the lmb. Keyboard direction is about avatar position. If you strafe to the right and do a left to right swing you jack the power up.

While its a good idea, there are two significant problems:
-If I am right the attacks being 4 directional is hardcodes and this not easy to change.
-Having more attack directions would cause even more silly spam and backpedaling stuff than we have right now and thus kill the game.
