buttons presses and combos

[waldron]

(for skater kid game)
one thing i'm learning doing prince of persia is the lifelike
animation, so for my skater kid game i am looking to add a slight delay on the left and right movement

Also i can't wrap my head around the if statements to do combos (like tonyhawks)
something like

if c.a then state = jump then 
 if c.y and c.right state = kick flip 
  endif
    endif

I would have thought something like

if c.a then state = jump endif
if state == jump then
   if c.y and c.right then state = flipkick endif
   //check for other button combinations for tricks
endif

@Richard i need to set up a test map and complete the rest of the statements/animations i'l see how it go's
as for the delay i think i can change the placement of the sprite for the first 2 frames so it doesn't screw the rest of the controls to get the delay
