What do you look for in a combat system?

lol I'm not a new gamer, at all. I just dont call it active attack.... I call it manual attacking :S

Terminology has always been active attack though or action based. Also most new gamers love auto attack as they never experienced the thrill or strat when it comes to manuel attack from old school rpg.
See zelda. Nice epic battles with manuel combat.
