What "uncapped full-perfect" actually means

Full combo is the weaker claim

A full combo means the chain was never broken — nothing was missed. It says nothing about how well anything was hit. A run made entirely of late-but-counted inputs is still a full combo, and it will not score like one.

It is the easier of the two to achieve and the more common thing to advertise, which is why it is worth reading carefully when you see it.

Full perfect is the stronger one

A full perfect means every note landed inside the tightest timing window the game offers. Not merely counted — perfect. That is a different order of claim, and it is the one worth caring about, because it is what actually decides the outcome of a round.

This is what the HybridCheats engine holds. Every note in the PERFECT window, for the length of the song.

And "uncapped" is about the ceiling

The third word is the one people skip. "Uncapped" means the combo has no artificial limit imposed on it — it is not held to some maximum and then allowed to lapse. It runs as long as the song runs.

This matters because a ceiling is invisible until you hit it, and it tends to be hit exactly where it costs the most: late in a long track, after the run has already been going for a while.

Why we never quote a number

You will see combo figures used as a headline. They are not a specification, because note counts differ from song to song — a large number on a dense chart and a smaller one on a sparse chart can describe exactly the same result, and the same figure on two different songs can describe very different ones.

A number invites a comparison it cannot support, so we do not print one. The claim we make instead is the one that is actually checkable: every note perfect, nothing missed, no ceiling, to the end of the song. The unedited recordings on this site are there so you can check it rather than take it.
