Bayonetta doesn't use state resets as much as DMC, but it focuses on it's own method of manipulating states; preventing state resets by letting players continue combos by holding the button down during dodge.

Could you please explain this a bit further? I only played Bayonetta a bit when the demo came out so I didn't delve too deeply into the game mechanics. The bolded part sounds really interesting.

Been a while since I played Bayonetta so take my words with a grain of salt. Pretty much every attack in Bayonetta could be held down to charge it up/shoot weapons to continue the combo. If you held a button down while performing a dodge in mid combo, then released it after the dodge finished, you would pick up right where you left off in the combo. Since the final hits of most of the combos are extremely strong with Wicked Weave attacks, it let you keep up flashier and more damaging combos without sacrificing freedom of movement.

So while still holding the attack button, the dodge button is pressed (like pressing Square then rolling your thumb to X) - once the dodge finishes or the button is released, the combo continues? That rocks. It's like Arkham City's Beatdown move with counters, but with every move.

Leave it to the Devil May Cry thread to get me excited for Darksiders.
