Would this be do-able for a more customizable game?

Right...so here is the idea: A player starts out with a number of moves...basic punches, kicks, whatnot... as the player progresses they will eventually gain the ability to make their own moves...either by connecting other moves for combo's (with a limited number of fundamentals) or by some other means... I have thought up two possible ways to make this work: 1) have animation for all the basic moves and then have a 3D model link them together to make it go smoothly in-game...it would probably work by selecting a move and clicking "add to list" or maybe even a "drag and drop" interface with peices...it would have limited number of fundamental moves depending on other game variables...it would also have things like loops while holding down w/e and wait for a second or pull out weapon, etc. or more customizably: 2) have a basic hand-circle, foot circle, hip/elbow/shoulder/knee/hand/foot/torso/neck bend and allow the player to set X number of fundamental positions and link them together with an ingame smoothing of a 3D model... would this be possible and, if it is, probable/worth-while for a game? thank you for your time... -Ajain EDIT: or has this already been done?

What you are talking about is the key feature of the idea. You are streaming together balanced moves to make a larger move. You lose little to know balance if executed properly. If you had unlimited stamina, you could essentialy continue a chain with similar moves forever, the problem is... you dont have unlimited stamina. on top of that people have strengths in various areas, like someones right hand may be stronger then their left, so they should string together moves that maximizes stamina while utilizing his stronger limbs in there most powerfull ways.
