So normally when you do an unrecorded OSS chain, you have 1 or 2 frames of opportunity to do the input in order for it to chain into the next skill, so doing it is already a frame-perfect or semi frame-perfect trick. But that's not too bad if you spend so much time playing (AKA have no life) that you have the timing down to a science.

But when you play online, and in certain areas offline, the framerate lags so bad that your inputs get delayed by a few frames. So you not only have to have frame-perfect timing, but you have to do that frame-perfect input a specific amount of frames before the actual frame to do it shows up, so that by the time that frame appears, your input will register on that frame. And different degrees of slowdown will delay your input by different amounts of frames. You may have to do your input as early as 48 frames before the frame you want shows up.

Which is why I'm surprised I did a long unrecorded chain in a slow room like this one. I wasn't even paying attention and later realized I was one skill away from reaching the limit, and if I'd used Starburst Stream later than that, it wouldn't have let me.

When I play games, I just press buttons with reckless abandon and hope for the best.
