This is the buffer system I've been using for years now, might as well explain how the thing works.

;=================================

Put this in the Statedef -3

Code: 
[state -3]
type = Helper
trigger1 = numhelper(9000) = 0
name = "Buffer System"
id = 9000
pos = 0,0
postype = p1
stateno = 9000
helpertype = normal
keyctrl = 1
pausemovetime = 9999999
supermovetime = 9999999

The reason keyctrl is there is because this buffer does motions independently of the root.

Now for the buffer system

Code: 
;---------------------------------------------------------------------------
;BUFFER SYSTEM
[Statedef 9000]
type    = A
movetype= I
physics = N
ctrl = 0
anim = 1;  <- THIS IS A BLANK ANIMATION

[State 0]; <- MAKES SURE THE BUFFER SYSTEM IS ALWAYS FACING THE OPPONENT
type = turn
trigger1 = p2dist x < 0

[State 0]
type = bindtoroot
trigger1 = 1
pos = 0,0
[State -2]
trigger1 = 1
type = DisplayToClipboard
ignorehitpause = 1
text = "ID = %d Time = %d rootID = %d"
params = var(1), var(2), root,var(2)


;-------------



[State 0]; <- BUFFER TIME FOR MOVES, THIS VARIABLE SET SAYS HOW LONG A MOVE STAYS IN THE BUFFER
type = varset
trigger1 = command = "x"

The buffer system handles all the timing and commands, and when you conditions are met will tell the route what move ID to use.

Add this to the Statedef -2

;================================================================================

This section causes to root to change to the correct state based on the ID that was buffered

;=================================================================================

The commands used here look like this:

Code: 
[Command]
name = "QCF_x"
command = ~D, DF, F, x
[Command]
name = "QCF_y"
command = ~D, DF, F, y
[Command]
name = "QCFQCF_z"
command = ~D, DF, F, D, DF, z

the .cmd times
Code: 
command.time = 15
command.buffer.time = 1




;===============================================

i know some stuff might not be super clear (never made a tutorial thing before)

Just a small feedback thingy: I think it is better to put the block of codes for Normal moves below SPECIAL MOVES. We know that MUGEN reads everything from above to below, which is, I assume, why you put "triggerall = command != "QCF_x"" in the buffer motion for a single button press (for normal attacks). By putting the said block of codes below SPECIAL MOVES, this will eliminate the need of writing extra line of codes, which will help in a long run (or I might miss something pretty important here).
Also, I think it will help if we have some examples for what kind of commands should we put in -1 and what could be the ideal command.time and command.buffer.time.
Otherwise, tis a pretty insightful thread! Thanks for sharing!

Yea, you probably right, not sure why i didnt do it :/
disregard that, commands dont work without if you swap 'em for some reason

the commands that you use can be any you feel comfortable with. and the command.time/command.buffer.time i left that at default (15/1)
i'll add the commands used to the top tho

 A small flaw that I'd like to point out is that resetting the buffer whenever the root is in movetype = H would prevent moves that only work while guarding from working since guard hitstates are also movetype = H. Adding an extra trigger like root,stateno != [120,155] should fix that easily.

you're right, turns out i missed that chunk when i was making the template

will add it back in

Forgot to ask about this at the first place but since your buffer system uses normal commands, how do you deal with charge/360/720/pretzel motion? MUGEN default buffer tends to screw these commands up (at least for keyboard players) and none of your characters have to deal with it so I have no idea what I should do in that case.

any commands that you'd normally use in your cmds should work
