I like this a lot, and if you take a cue from Tricky and Tony Hawk,
you can give bonus points for players being stylish in different
ways (you perform the same decapitation over and over again, it's no
longer special) or even have the combat system sort of 'nudge' you
towards a certain tactic.  Interesting...
