Timing Display: Difference between revisions

During the explanation in the [[Introduction]], the words (from left to right) {{Nihongo|'''Early!'''|はやい|Hayai}}, {{Nihongo|'''Perfect!'''|ジャスト|Just}}  and {{Nihongo|'''Late!'''|おそい|Osoi}} are used to describe the timing. The [[Challenge Train]] uses {{Nihongo|'''Ace!'''|ジャスト！|Just!}} to indicate a perfect input, and {{Nihongo|'''Miss'''|ミス…|Miss...}} for when the player goes too early, too late, or misses completely. Being a little early or a little late is not indicated. Each step gives a different amount of points, where getting "Perfect!"/"Ace!" on every single input would result in a 100 score, which although incredibly difficult, is not impossible.

For the purposes of this wiki, the following is used to describe the timing on [[Rhythm Game]] articles:

{{Timing|Ace!=When the player's timing is perfect or near-perfect. The player must avoid missing to obtain a [[Perfect]].|Early!/Late!=When the player goes too early or too late, but is not a complete miss. For all intents and purposes, this is regarded as a miss.|Miss...=When the player completely misses. Depending on the game, performing an action when the player isn't supposed to will either be ignored or considered a miss. Missing during a [[Perfect]] Campaign will end the run, forcing the player to restart for another try. Missing in a game with a lives counter (as in certain [[Endless Games]] or during a Lives Goal in [[Challenge Land]]) reduces the amount of lives by one.}}

*In ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' only, the games [[Shoot-'em-up 2|Shoot-'Em-Up]], [[Frog Hop]], and [[Lockstep]] (as well as their arrange variants and in [[Remix]]es) do not end a [[Perfect]] Campaign if the player goes too early or too late, but it does negatively affect the rating all the same. This exception led to a popular misconception that early/late mistimed inputs are counted as a successful input.
