But the point is you built a timing mechanic in a turn based RPG that is dependent on latency in a world where you are adding arbitrary amounts of latency in the display, the rendering, the controller polling and the platform itself.
That’s a bad fit between design and hardware. I’d argue that’s always the case and modern gaming SUCKS for timing-based mechanics compared to old ride-the-scanline CRT gaming. And yet they are extremely popular and people seem to assume timing challenges are the only way to make fun mechanics.
If you need to ask that question the mechanic is fundamentally flawed.
The design isn’t flawed, but the implementation definitely is. kB+m have huge input delay and dropped input issues (at least on gamepass PC version)

It’s just a bug bro. There are performance mods that fix it by simply tweaking unreal settings.
