I was wondering how to implement a "infinity preventer" system.
This is a example of what I'm trying to prevent:

Here's my idea: giving each attack a "duplicity punish value" and, if this same attack has already been used in the current combo, apply this value into a counter (like a bar on the screen, or even some kind of tinting visual cue) and, when this counter reaches it's maximum value, the attacked character would go into a "combo breaking" custom state.
A very good example of what I'm trying to achieve it Skullgirl's tension bar.
I'm very lost about how to implement this system. Any ideas/suggestions on how to proceed?
Ps.: This is a full game project, so custom states on opponent's CSN files are perfectly doable.
