Choke is such a general term that it's meaning in each community may vary. In stepmania and related communities there's the term flag/black flag, which refers to not breaking combo, but missing a perfect full combo (all perfect or marvelous) by a single great. Similarly it can be used to refer to missing a marvelous full combo by a single perfect. A "true black flag" indicates that note was the last more of the chart. Those conditions could be more generally referred to choking a PFC/MFC, but choke implies it could be a miss or a good instead of just a great/perfect, or that it could have been multiple misses/bad judgements in a cluster, as sometimes you can't immediately recover from some mistakes.

@@Bobbias So I suppose pretty much the only thing that the term has in common with its definitions across different communities is "i played well generally over the chart but this STUPID little moment where i didn't"?

in a sense, yeah

SV is a slightly more general term which also refers to the speed changes themselves. Soflan seems to refer specifically to charts which use SVs as a gimmick, such as Death Moon from o2jam, and Batting Show Perfect Version or Shun no Shifudo o Ikashita Kare Fumi Paeria's SV difficulty (aka the octopus map).

None of these are rhythm games, aside of FNF. And the video talks about general RG terms, not specific games. And FNF most likely doesn't really have anything unique to it

@@Fafr they should be??? you do stuff to tthe beat, jsab and pa are bullet hell rhythm games and gd is a platformer rhythm game

@@_SparkHere In JSaB and PA you don't do anything to the song unless a gimmick is made where the player would have to dash in time, which wouldn't make it a rhythm game, but rather, a level with an element of that. And that's only applicable to PA, too In Geometry Dash, doing things to the song is not the focus at all, which is especially seen if you look at pretty much most of the popular levels. Sync is mostly done for the visuals, the gameplay usually has very little of it. The main levels don't do that either, as most of the gameplay is not connected to the song. GD itself classifies itself as "music-based", not as a rhythm game, and the community agrees too, as pretty much everyone there also says that GD is not a rhythm game

Personally I would consider it just a fast tempo you have to tap to, since its not like you're vibrating your hand right on the touch screen to hit every note

@@sullivanbell2397 well, not really. the term jack is usually reserved for 8ths while lockstep is 4ths throughout (save for the transitions). id say it's generally too slow to be considered a jack as well

@@conservation10 oh i actually was considerinh vibro but i thought that would be one hell of an advanced leap (then again i covered manip and soflan. oops)

@tzechi yeah it has a pretty quick history lmao. Popularized in rhythm games by stepmania, then developed a community in osu and now it's in like every vsrg, cult following really
