True POWER
by mrqx0195
True POWER reworks SlashBlade: Resharped's combat so that rank, concentration and combo behavior follow a Devil May Cry 5 style of play.
What it does
The mod replaces the combat system that SlashBlade: Resharped uses for Vergil-style fighting. Rank points are gained through attacks, a Powered state turns on at high Concentration Ranks, and low ranks impose a penalty on damage. Defeating enemies grants a temporary Concentration Rank, and repeating the same combo blocks rank point gain for a time.
Installation requires SlashBlade:Resharped and mrqx`s Slashblade Core on the same loader. Shoulder Surfing Reloaded is optional and recommended, since the mod adds special behaviors when it is present. True POWER is released under the MIT License and is open source, with its source code and issue tracker public. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, for the 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 game versions, with 1.2.1-hotfix1 for 1.20.1 and 1.3.2 for 1.21.1 as the latest files.
Client and server means both the server and every player need the mod. Forgified Fabric API is incompatible and should not be installed alongside it. Several settings, such as the rank requirement and point values, can be changed in a configuration file.
Key features
Powered state
Reaching high Concentration Ranks switches the wielder into a Powered state, which the rank requirement can adjust.
Rank point rules
Rank points can rise only once per game tick from damage, and the point values for attacks are configurable.
Combo restrictions
Certain combos restrict player movement, and this behavior can be toggled off in the settings.
Adjusted rank thresholds
Reaching S, SS and SSS ranks needs more points, while natural rank decay lowers the rank level over time.

What the author says
An addon mod for SlashBlade:Resharped that significantly overhauls its combat mechanics. It's evident that SlashBlade: Resharped's combat system extensively replicates Vergil's combat system from Devil May Cry 5. However, it still has numerous unsatisfying aspects, including awkward controls and problematic key-press…
