Let a button press just before an attack ends still count

Players press attack a hair too early and nothing happens, so the game feels sticky and unfair. This entry shows how to remember an early press for a short moment, and why the length of that moment matters more than it seems.

Why this works

People press buttons slightly before they feel ready, because they act on what they expect to happen next. Remembering one early press for a blink matches that habit, so the game answers what the player meant instead of punishing small errors in timing.

When not to use it

Skip it when timing is the whole challenge, such as a duel game where a press at the wrong moment must be punished. There, forgiving early presses removes the skill. Offer it as an easy-mode option instead.
