XENOGEARS BATTLE SYSTEM

Hi,

I'm wondering something about the Xenogears battle system for the PSX.

Basically, when you start a battle in Xenogears, you have the option of doing any combination consisting of one of three attacks (of course, the players of the game would know this)

Now, my question is, did Xenogears let you back out of an attack at any given time, even if you didn't do a Super Move? For example, if a combination is:

Triangle, Square

and after Triangle, I decide that I don't feel like continuing a combo, could I back out of that combo sequence? Or was I forced to continue the combo until I performed a Super Move or ran out of AP?

Thanks!
