I'd like to be able to simulate something like the trailer for the newest "Assassins Creed" video game, in which the hero, once he gets going, sort of gets a "momentum" - each combat action he takes seems to set him up for an even better/quicker/etc. next combat action on a different mook, and so on and so on.

Is there anything in the Official or Licenced rules that have a mechanic for something like this?

It makes sense - not everyone (only a handful) of very trained people could do it.

SORCERER the RPG had a mechanic that each success on a roll could add to a success on a related roll, but this applied to everything.

It seems like a lot of that could be simulated with existing edges, like Counterattack, Sweep, Frenzy, First Strike, and tactical usage of Wild Attacks and Rapid Attacks.

Edge:

Combat Momentum (prereqs ?)
When you are on a roll, you rock. Each Raise on a trait check for an action, Trick test of will, fighting, shooting, throwing, spellcasting, gives you +1 to y our action trait check on the following round, if it's the same trait check.
Improved Combat Momentum
bonus can apply to any trait check

Yep, I think I have my answer - either the edge you describe or the use of existing edges and maneuvers would do it.
