Thank you, this is great! I actually haven't thought it would still be so many actions that cause 'x ready' buffs, yet still have separate buttons. It feels like SE keeps those buttons just for the sake of it.

b@T: I don't it's actually necessary to combine combos into 1 button - for now.

But for the sake of keeping combos, diversity, maybe new and old actions (back) in the game, I would welcome it. Every single combo or 'x ready' ability combined to a single button frees 1-2 more slots.
e.g. NIN has Dream Within a Dream -> Assassinate, 3 combo(ending)s, hide cannot be used during combat (why not change it to Trick Attack during Suiton?) and your mudra can only be executed when you use Ten, Chi or Jin. This would free at least 5 button slots! They could get a renewed Dancing Edge, Jugulate etc.
Another positive aspect of 1 button combos: if you fail to hit your 'next weaponskill' in time - e.g. you keep Brutal Shell, do full Gnashing Fang combo, Sonic Break, and a Burst Strike, and had to disengage or lag spike - you would start a new combo instead of hitting 'the expired combo button'.

PS: SSD doesn't grant 'Mirage Dive ready' since 5.0 anymore, so it would make sense to merge Jump + Mirage Dive.
