wew update time (would make a large post but this is small)
Soooooooo I figured out something that is quite promising for how the combos should be displayed to the player.
Bottomline is that it took a couple iterations of just trying shit to see what worked the best and i've arrived at the good one (for now I guess lol but this one is legit soooooooo goooooooddddd)
Anyways, have an awesome day person who reads this!
