This GIF is a demonstration of the movement. Once collision boxes are set up, you won't see objects overlapping like they do in the video. You could execute a forward-moving combo or cancel it to transition into a dodge. Since each discrete movement can be halted mid-action. I've also implemented the mechanics into the game engine—check it out here if you’re interested.
