Stop Dropping Inputs: Build a Timed Input Buffer in Unity

Learn how to make your Unity 6 game feel dramatically more responsive by buffering player inputs. This tutorial walks through creating a serializable, generic TimedInputBuffer that remembers intent for a few milliseconds and then triggers the action when conditions are right. A jump example shows how to fix mistimed landings, with inspector-tunable hold times and clean consume/try-consume APIs. The approach easily extends to dashes, attacks, and interactions with simple wrapper classes.
