Do Well, But Not Perfect	comment	Describe Do Well, But Not Perfect here, but itâ€™s okay to inculde at least one error! Sometimes the objective of a game is to do well — but not perfectly. This annoys people who absolutely must get a perfect score every time. Oftentimes, the buffer zone of "good enough" is unforgivably tiny, and in some cases may be explicitly defined as exactly enough to qualify and nothing higher. Crazy as it seems, getting an imperfect score deliberately might require some very carefully balanced playing, resulting in the rewards for completing the so-called "easier" objectives being more difficult to obtain than those for perfect completion. This trope can be invoked by players, usually because the rewards for 'well' is better than the one for 'perfect'. This makes sense, in a way — if the game thinks you're having difficulty it might give you stronger items and power-ups to compensate, but of course this then leads to people deliberately playing worse to get these bronze and silver awards. Alternatively, in games with Multiple Endings which tend to have one designated as the Good Ending shown only to perfect players and alternate ones shown to well players, players might play worse to see what those said alternate endings are. It is also possible in some games for the Joke Ending to be obtained by absolute 100% completion, while the Golden Ending is available if you just do one thing short of perfect. This can also apply to computer players, where the A.I. is purposely programmed to not play perfect so that the player actually has a fair chance to win, but while still providing a challenge. A good example is button mashing, where even the most skilled human button masher can be easily outsped by a computer, or beating the world champion at chess, because Humans Aren't Perfect. Otherwise, natural Artificial Stupidity will take care of that. For more general NPCs, compare Tactical Suicide Boss. On highly competitive environments, this trope can be in effect to test how far are the participants proficient at Obfuscating Stupidity. Disguising one's potential and situational advantage is crucial to avoid being ganged up on by the rest in the early stages, which becomes as crucial as being actually skilled enough to come up on top at the end. Note that this trope doesn't refer to situations where the player's goal is to achieve a "decent-or-above" score. It refers to points where the player's goal is to achieve a very specific range of scores which require you to make certain errors at specific, but unmentioned, ponts. This is also something that a Brilliant, but Lazy person may do - they may simply "Do well but not perfect" just because they find it easier. Compare Earn Your Bad Ending, Playing Sick, Deliberate Under-Performance, and Second Place Is for Winners. Contrast 100% Completion. See also Enemy Mine and Tall Poppy Syndrome. This may be the best strategy when The Runner-Up Takes It All is in play. For examples of this in the workplace, see also Vetinari Job Security, where someone may be doing well but not perfect, but they're kept around because no one else can do their job. Compare The Perfectionist, which is more about psychological rather than strategic reasons why you don't want to perform perfectly.

The last alignment choice you make, literally immediately before you're locked into an ending, is to support either Law or Chaos, providing either +10 or -10 points. Which means, if your Karma Meter is between -1 and +1, you can be too neutral to get the Neutral Ending.

Do Well, But Not Perfect / int_11ad35ca	comment	In Hydorah, the final stage of the Red Eden boss can only be approached when its shield is open at the same time as it is on the right side of the screen. Since the shield and the screen move on different timers, it takes a long time before they sync up if they start in a bad position. Since the initial position also depends on how fast you beat the first two stages, you're actually better off taking your time. If you beat the first two stages too fast, you'll be left waiting forever on the last stage before you can even attack.

Do Well, But Not Perfect / int_1adee40d	comment	The World Ends with You puts a positive twist on this. Each noise provides a (potentially) different drop for each of four difficulty levels. As drop rates aren't always 100%, however, you may miss out on the one for your difficulty level, but should you do so, you'll then get a chance at the next lowest drop, and (should you miss out on that one too) the next lowest drop, until either you get a drop, or miss out on the lowest drop. Despite this, it's still possible to lock out lower drops at higher difficulty levels by raising your drop rate too high, especially since it's possible to miss unlocking Easy.

Do Well, But Not Perfect / int_1bbe9a3a	comment	The original Dutch version of 1 vs. 100 awarded money on each question based on the percentage of the remaining Mob eliminated, not the absolute number of mob members eliminated. This resulted in a system where the longer the One drags out the game, the more money he/she would win if he/she successfully defeated the entire Mob. Example scenariosIf you knocked out the entire Mob on the first question, you'd win â‚¬50,000, or â‚¬100,000 if you used the Double on the question. If you knocked out half the Mob on the first question, it'd be worth â‚¬25,000, then knocking out the other half on the second question would be worth an additional â‚¬50,000, again subject to the Double. This means that the best-case scenario occurs by eliminating the Mob one member at a time over the course of at least 100 questions, answering every single question correctly and using the Double on the question which eliminates the last Mob member; doing so would net the One a bit over â‚¬309,000. In the American version, this was at first partially fixed: it was still beneficial to knock out a greater number of Mob members at higher levels, but the prize for taking out the entire mob was $1,000,000 no matter what. In later seasons, a fixed cash prize was awarded for every 10 Mob members the One knocked out.

Do Well, But Not Perfect / int_1cc09117	comment	This is the motto for Mayuri Kurotsuchi from Bleach. As he tells the dying Szayelaporro Granz, perfection is a dead end for scientists as being perfect means there's no more improvement, imagination and intelligence. Always strive to be better than everything that came before you but not perfect. Mayuri himself ends up the victim of this when he sees Nemu die. A hallucination of Szayelaporro appears before him and calls him a hypocrite; for all his talk of hating perfection, he considered Nemu to be his perfect creation. Realizing this, and angered that a vision of a second-rate scientist is berating him, Mayuri snaps out of his despair and decides to make a newer, better Nemu.

Do Well, But Not Perfect / int_2192aeb3	comment	Fire Emblem: Oftentimes throughout the series, a unit being too powerful can cause problems for the player. A classic example is the problem of a unit being so strong that they kill every enemy they fight in one round—this can result in them being bumrushed and worn down by a bunch of enemies, whereas if they let the enemies live, those enemies would quickly block off access to your unit by crowding around them. The DS games even encourage this by way of enemy gains on Hard being mostly focused on offense—when your units can only survive maybe one or two hits, opening themselves up to additional attacks can be life-threatening. In Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, there's a case of Mutually Exclusive Party Members with Karel and Harken, a Swordmaster and Hero who each show up a few turns into a later chapter—however, the one that shows up is dependent on how much of the chapter you've completed at that point (either you've killed lots of promoted enemies, or you've opened a lot of doors, depending on version). Harken is a far stronger character than Karel—his attacking power and durability is roundly superior, his speed is barely any lower despite Karel being a Fragile Speedster, he can use the much stronger axes while Karel is stuck with swords, and he joins with the game's only Brave Sword while Karel uses the much weaker Wo Dao—but he's the one who shows up if you haven't killed a sufficient amount of promoted enemies or opened a sufficient number of doors by the deadline. Hence, stomping the chapter too effectively results in you getting a worse unit. What's more, either way, they only show up on the seventh turn; it's very possible to complete the map before either can show up and lock yourself out of an incredibly strong unit. Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones has Cormag, one of the best characters in the game, show up as an enemy reinforcement in Chapter 13 on Eirika's route. If you complete the chapter before he shows up, he's Permanently Missable. In Fire Emblem: Awakening, try not to have perfect stats when playing the Spotpass chapter "The Wellspring of Truth." It's a Mirror Match where the enemy copies your units, skills and stats perfectly. It's cool if you can hit half the enemies with Lethality, but you don't want the enemy to hit even one of your units with it due to the game's permadeath mechanic. It's recommended to take only one or two of your strongest units, unequip any dangerous skills or weapons from them, fill the rest of the army with your B-teamnote (leaving those slots empty will just make the game spawn multiple copies of your star units), and abuse the Pair Up mechanic (which the AI will never use, even when mimicking you). In Fire Emblem Engage's Maddening Mode enemies will generally not target your units if they will deal 0 damage or have a 0% chance to hit. This can lead to an odd balancing act where you want your unit's Defence or Avoid stats to be as high as possible without quite reaching that level, unless you have some other way to make the enemy acknowledge you (e.g. Emblem Soren's Assign Decoy skill, which will force the enemy to target such units).

Do Well, But Not Perfect / int_2d940749	comment	PS2 versions of beatmania IIDX often have gallery pictures unlocked by clearing a song in Expert Mode with 18% or less on your gauge at the end (note that you fail if it empties at any time), another for finishing with more than 80% but not 100%, and three more for ranges in between. Since getting a Good judgment in beatmania IIDX doesn't provide any points, getting all Goods in a song (also known as "Good Attacking") will result in you clearing it with a full combo, but finishing with a score of 0, the same as if you didn't hit any notes at all. beatmania IIDX and at least one version of Beatmania III offer the Border Bonus: Finish the song with your meter filled just barely enough to pass, and you'll get a bonus of 5730 points. There are also higher bonuses if you combine this with getting all Greats or higher, or all Just Greats. In beatmania IIDX 20 tricoro's Legend Cross event (until it ended), one of the requirements to unlock boss songs was to finish a song with an EX score of exactly 573. Done again in beatmania IIDX 21 SPADA's Super Star Mitsusu revival event, where one of the unlock requirements was to play a song on Mirror and finish with an EX Score of exactly 623.

In reality, you're supposed to mess it up on purpose to see every possible outcome and collect every cutscene in the game, which is the only way to get the Golden Ending. So there's no real need for correctly chaining the boss fights, since you'll have to go through every possible combination to get every cutscene, one way or another.

Do Well, But Not Perfect / int_2ea6ae26	comment	Star Trek: Picard sees that its titular lead resigned from Starfleet in disgust when a terrorist attack on their shipyards on Mars led the Federation to call off the Romulan evacuation efforts, as Picard felt they were throwing in the towel and abandoning the Romulans to die. Years later, when a new mystery drags him out of his estate, most every other character is quick to call him on his attitude; not only was he ignoring that the entire Federation was against the idea of helping out their oldest enemy, but the fact he gave up so quickly rather than at least try to help those he could proved he didn't heed the same lesson Data had learned back on TNG. In his own words, he "allowed perfect to become the enemy of good."

There is also a slightly easier norma which requires you clear a song with a full meter and a maximum of 25,000 (out of 100,000) points. Getting all Goods would get you exactly 20,000 points and a full meter, so even with a full combo you can occasionally get a Great.

The last alignment choice you make, literally immediately before you're locked into an ending, is to support either Law or Chaos, providing either +10 or -10 points. Which means, if your Karma Meter is between -1 and +1, you can be too neutral to get the Neutral Ending. Persona 5 Royal has a team darts minigame to increase each party member's Baton Pass level. Playing perfectly will result in scoring the winning throw yourself, and advancing a party member's Baton Pass level by only one. However, scoring just well enough to allow your teammate to toss the winning throw themselves will instantly increase them up to the third, and max, ranking.

Once that's done, points are allotted to the players whose minions have the most, second-most, and third-most total power. Normally the player with the most power gets the most points, but a few bases are exceptions. For instance, the Ninja faction's bases give 2 points to the first-place and third-place players and 3 points to the second-place player, meaning it's better to aim for second place rather than first.

If the drawing is too indistinct, then nobody will associate it with the original prompt, but if people can figure out what your drawing is supposed to be at first glance, then they can submit a description very similar to the original drawing prompt and ensure people pick their answer instead. Therefore, the best route is to make a drawing too messy for people to identify it, but recognizable enough that they can understand what it's supposed to be if you show them the original prompt.

While you get the best overall reward for marrying a Beautiful daughter, some of the best early-game rewards (namely the Special Items) can be gotten through romancing the Plain and Attractive ones, but not the Beautiful ones. In addition, the rewards you get are partially dependent on how well you dance with said daughter. If you dance well with an Attractive Daughter, she will give you a quest to infiltrate an enemy colony and arrest some criminal, a reward worth less than the price of an item and generally takes considerable time and effort. However, if you only dance partially-well with her, she will give you an item instead.

The end result: access to top-tier units from the start of the next battle there, which is a wise course of action since by about midgame your enemies get to start with mid-tier construction buildings like their faction's vehicle facility.

However, after Bernie reaches his limit with an insufferable man and his chimpanzee, he proceeds to tell Corneil to use all of his brainpower to beat them, which Corneil actually agrees with. He proceeds to thoroughly trash the simian in the finale game, even setting a new record no less, only to learn the test was so accurate it endangered his secret of being a talking dog. He sabotages the machine so they'd have to do an extra game, which he planned to throw.

Secrets are good. But many of them are found in the same places that normally boost stats, and they take priority over stat training...so you can easily get a Secret instead of the boost you were planning to get in that timeslot. Unfortunately, in the early game, stats are much more important than anything else- if you don't grind the right ones enough before you meet the Matchmaker, she will kick you out of the Summit. So you have to not figure out what your fellow delegates are doing- in defiance of everything the plot has told you to do thus far- and just focus on training yourself. (And finding out through trial-and-error when the training places won't be useful.)

Essentially, if you make your game too good, you may find it to be a Tough Act to Follow, and none of your followup games do nearly as well. There's an achievement for getting "a perfect ten" in reviews. Scoring above ten (like getting 10, 10, 10 and 11) does not unlock it (but will unlock the "up to eleven" achievement).

In one story, Kindaichi reveals the murderer by having all of the suspects take a multiple-choice test, with all of the questions secretly pertaining to the case (For example, asking where one would buy a certain type of rope, with that type of rope being what was used in the murders). All of the suspects did an average job on the test...except for one, who got every single question wrong. It turned out that she was the murderer and, in deliberately failing the test to try to clear her name, she just proved her guilt (with other evidence provided after).

He puts more effort into getting halfway between 88% (pass) and 80% (where he would lose the allowance) on the exam than most students put into simply graduating. One of his instructors catches on and gives him a final exam with just one question on it. The question being: What is your first and last name? Due to shenanigans, he switches exam questions with another student. The Patrician, Havelock Vetinari, actually failed Stealth Class due to not attending the final exam. However, this is due to the proctor simply not noticing Vetinari because the latter was camouflaged too well.

Do Well, But Not Perfect / int_46a3f293	comment	In Cold Waters, a submarine simulator game set during the Cold War era, the ideal way to play in most circumstances is to never be detected by the enemy at all, the only evidence that you're even in the area being the fact that torpedoes keep coming out of seemingly nowhere and blowing up their ships. However, in particularly rough weather, the ambient noise generated by the storm may be so loud that you can't hear anything at all, least of all enemy ships or submarines. In this case, the only way to achieve your mission objective (typically sinking a submarine wolfpack or surface convoy) might be to deliberately give away your own position by doing something loud or otherwise obvious, like pinging with active sonar or sticking your radar mast up above the surface. The enemy's reaction will then give away thier positions, allowing you to deal with them, assuming you can survive the inevitable onslaught of torpedoes and depth charges this will provoke.

Do Well, But Not Perfect / int_49a87cb3	comment	Final Fantasy VII: There is a mini-game where you have to prevent soldiers from reaching a fort. Failing to do this causes a fight against the boss with the regular characters. Normally, you get the proper reward only if you complete the mini-game, and you lose it if you have to fight the boss, win or lose. However, the one time this mini-game is plot-mandated, the normal reward is given if you complete the mini-game or beat the boss. And as it turns out, you can get a rare and powerful piece of armor by defeating the boss at this point (and never before this point), and the boss is pretty easy. A savvy character will lose the mini-game on purpose the final time, since there's no benefit in winning. Junon has two instances. First, the parade. The gist of this is that you want to try to march out and fall in line while troops march past. The better you do, the higher the ratings. The higher the ratings, the better the reward. However, the "best" reward is simply 5,000 gil. The next best is 6 ethers. Ethers can be sold for 750 gil each, meaning if one sold all 6 of them, they would get 4500 gil, 500 gil shy of best reward. The catch is that ethers cost 1500 gil to buy and most players are going to end up needing to buy that many at some point anyway. The "posing" minigame during Rufus' sendoff is also noteworthy. The second-best prize (60-90 points) is an HP Plus Materia (boosts max HP by 10% per level), while the "top" prize is a weapon for Cloud that you'll be able to buy in the very next town. HP Plus Materia, meanwhile, is not only generally more useful, but also doesn't appear in shops for a fair while after this, and is much more expensive. There's also the entire endgame, where the first boss battle determines how the next two play out: Depending on how quickly the player beats the first boss, what levels the player's characters have and how many Optional Party Members the player has found, the second battle will have the player split into one to three teams, with the main team continuing into the final boss battle solo. Both the final and penultimate bosses also gain HP boosts for every character in the game with maximum levels, and if the player uses Knights of the Round on the first boss.

Do Well, But Not Perfect / int_49a88442	comment	In Final Fantasy XIV: This is part of the Balance Between Good and Evil. The Warrior of Light is a servant of Hydaelyn and fights to prevent terrible calamities. A storyline in the Heavensward expansion, however, reveals that being too good at this results in Light aether growing out of control into a flood of light which annihilates all life in its path. The Warriors of Darkness are heroes from a world where this is in the process of happening, and the theme comes up again in Shadowbringers when the Warrior must become a Warrior of Darkness themselves. By the same token, the Ascians, servants of the dark god Zodiark, are trying to bring about the calamities which the Warrior is trying to prevent in order to free Zodiark. There is already an example of a world which fell completely into darkness as a result of them being too successful, creating a realm called "The Void" which their god has no use for. When farming certain trials unsynched, so you can play them at the level cap, it's often faster to pause attacking the boss in order to do mechanics or avoid skipping phases. The former is because if a mechanic is skipped on some bosses, it causes them to enrage. The latter is because the boss has a transition phase where said transition phase makes them untargetable and is longer than the fight itself if phases aren't skipped. In the level 90 Healer Role Quest battle you can get a minor, but wholesome, reaction of Raubahn if you are hit by a specific attack (the hardest one to dodge) from the enemy. He jumps in front of your stunned character and uses Cover on you, shouting "Not on my watch!". Because of the Cover ability, he absorbs the damage for you. The Savage version of the Proto-Carbuncle fight includes puddles which spawn exploding slimes if not stood on by 2 players. However, on the second set of puddles, the boss needs to eat one of the slimes or else it will wipe the party. Thus, the strategy for the fight is for the tanks to intentionally fail their puddle.

Do Well, But Not Perfect / int_49ad83ee	comment	In some bosses on World of Warcraft, if you take down their health too quickly, you can run into problems. For example, in the Madness of Deathwing encounter, it's possible for the Blistering Tentacles (which come up after you reduce a limb tentacle's health enough), to come up at the same time as the Elementium Bolt or the Regenerative Blood (which come up on a timer) even if the raid has killed the Mutated Corruption already. So if the raid damages the limb too quickly, it'll have to fight the Regenerative Blood at the same time as the Blistering Tentacles and/or the Elementium Bolt, making things very difficult. Additionally, on the Maloriak encounter, while most spells that can be interrupted should be, and in some cases, must be, interrupting all the casts in which he releases aberrations will result in all 18 aberrations coming out at once during Phase 2 along with the Prime Specimens, and since they get a damage buff when close to each other, it's almost impossible to survive. Similarly, while many boss achievements have DPS requirements that are difficult to meet around the time of the related content's release, others can easily be failed by defeating the boss too quickly, typically resulting in raid groups telling players to stop DPS so that the boss won't die before the group meets the achievement requirements. Some quests require using items on mobs near death — usually 20% health or less. This gets annoying when doing old content with a character of much higher level, when the lower-level mobs die from as much as the character sneezing on them, forcing the player to equip a less powerful weapon or even unequip it entirely. In Legion, to alleviate this frustration, the Soft Foam Sword toy was added that reduces a trivial mob's HP to 10%. It's also possible to run into a mix of the two: killing an old raid or dungeon boss too quickly could mess with the Event Flags of the instance, preventing you from advancing any further. If you're lucky, the boss will respawn some time later, and you'll hopefully be able to DPS it down more slowly this time. If not... well, time to reset the instance (unless, of course, you're in a raid, in which case you'll just have to wait for it to reset on its own the next week) and give it another shot.

When you first do one of these races, the game gives you a set time limit to beat the race, which is usually lenient. You can then repeat the race, this time going against your previous best time, and every time you improve on it, you win money. Thus, if you deliberately dawdle on your first attempt and finish just under the time limit, you can keep winning money from the race over and over by finishing just a second or two faster every time. If you try your best on the first attempt, you lose out on all that cash.

This way, you receive better items to attack with and get a last-second victory. This is especially true with Mario Kart DS and Mario Kart Wii, as the infamous Blue Shell is designed to target the racer in 1st place and nobody else, as long as they aren't too close behind. This is less true with games like Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing or Diddy Kong Racing, however, that have highly defensive item systems: Those 2nd or lower need to attack and defend, but the lead racer need only defend.

Do Well, But Not Perfect / int_63ac9abf	comment	In Sonic the Hedgehog 2 there's a very infamous spike pit in Mystic Cave Zone that can't be jumped out of. Playing as regular Sonic, you should just be able to grab a switch above the pit to extend a drawbridge and raise the wall on the far side. But if you're a speedrunner and/or using Super Sonic, you'll probably miss the switch, ram into the wall, and plummet to your (delayed) doom. Many, MANY speedruns have been foiled by this, made worse because Super Sonic can expect to spend a minute or more waiting for his invincibility to finally wear off.

Do Well, But Not Perfect / int_656a52a9	comment	Indigo Prophecy has this come up a few times. Since you play as both the killer Lucas and the detectives hunting for him, sometimes it's better to do enough so Lucas doesn't panic but not so much as to make the work hard on the detectives. At the very start of the game, right after Lucas kills, you're expected to do all the things you'd expect a killer to do â€“ hide the body and the weapon, wash off the blood, act casual to avoid suspicion, and escape before the police catch on. When playing as the detectives, you have to investigate the scene of the crime, but you can't move on with the game until you find the weapon. If you made Lucas hide the weapon, the camera cuts away while Lucas hides it, so even the player doesn't know where Lucas hid it, meaning the player (as the detectives) has to hunt for it. If you "forgot" to hide the weapon, the detectives would find it on the ground at the crime scene, meaning you can move on that much easier. There's also one instance where you get better results from failing QTEs the game throws at you. While Lucas is being questioned in his office, don't follow the prompts which appear when the green mites attack him, as succeeding in them causes Lucas to freak out over their appearance, which makes him appear hysterical to his interrogator who cannot see the insects.

Fortunately, it's less of a problem in 4 Ultimate when you fight the G Rank version, as it starts out the second phase much closer to the Dragonship; while the Dragonship is in greater danger of damage, you're less likely to stagger the monster to the point of carving deprivation, and the Dragonship is surprisingly durable anyway.

There are only two endings, and while the "Possessed" ending is bleaker than the normal ending, it isn't considered a "bad" ending, as it's impossible to get on the first playthrough, and many players actually strive to achieve it on their second playthrough, as it's rather difficult. The game has a hidden point system, which goes up every time you kill an enemy or take damage, and in order to get the Possessed ending, you must exceed 4000 points. This means in order to get the (objectively) "good" ending, you need to avoid as many enemies as possible.

Do Well, But Not Perfect / int_6bbe9a77	comment	Theatrhythm Final Fantasy has Dark Notes. Each Dark Note has three bosses, determined by your performance in two tracks. Pass a certain point in the Field Music Stage, and you will fight Boss No. 2 or 3, but not No. 1; so if Boss No. 1 has an item you want, then you need to use someone with shoddy Agility. If you have above half of your maximum HP after defeating two enemies in the Battle Music Stage, you will fight Boss No. 3, so if Boss No. 2 has something you want, put the White Magic away and take a few hits. The first game also has critical charts for Field and Battle Music Stages: they branch out generally near the middle into a Feature Zone, the completion of which either summons a Chocobo that the character rides on in the FMS or a classic Summon Magic attack in the BMS that often defeats the current enemy on its own. However, in order to fill the said critical charts completely (ie. hit every note perfectly at least once during cumulative playthroughs of the song), you need to fill the segment following the Feature Zone during the said feature as well as outside of it, the latter of which meaning that you either need to play the song in Stoic Mode which disables the Feature Zone and which is accomplished by unequiping all skills from your party as well as your current consumable item, or just miss enough notes during the Feature Zone so that it won't activate. This is thankfully removed in the sequel, where the critical charts have no branching paths and Stoic Mode only exists as a minor Rhytmia bonus instead of being needed for maximum scores.

Most of the money can be found sooner or later by carefully exploring the map. However, the last bit of money is hidden inside a box in a crack in the floor of a mine. You can locate this if you're thorough, but you can't actually reach it. The only way to get this money is by using a stick of dynamite the game unexpectedly gives you out of pity if you lose a fairly easy fight. As a result, someone who's good at the game is unlikely to stumble across the dynamite by chance, so this achievement can actually be harder for them to figure out.

Part of the formula involves filtering oil through a rough cloth with relatively large pores, but the people producing it use expensive cloth instead and the formula fails: the original recipe relied on a certain amount of debris to pass through the poor-quality cloth, so using better fabric made it fail. This gives her the chance to sell the recipe a second time, only this time with an improved formula resulting in a better quality end product because it does rely on the properties of the good cloth, and then adds in another ingredient afterward to act as an abrasive. Rozemyne at some point tells others she intentionally only barely meets the goals of her well-known spartan mentor Ferdinand in order for him to not raise the bar higher. She still comes out to be best in class and totally lacking in common sense in terms of abilities because of the spartanic training others cannot take, and actually Ferdinand already raised the bar up numerous times because she meets the goals so casually.

Do Well, But Not Perfect / int_6ef57be4	comment	The Elite Beat Agents and Ouendan games have different cutscenes for failing level segments and the entire level, and most of them are worth seeing. It's not quite as easy as you'd think, though, since you can't clearly see the point where you fail or pass the level segment (making it easy to hit a note at the end of a segment by accident and push the rating bar over to "pass" when you thought not hitting it would cause it to empty completely) and doing poorly will easily cause you to get a game over instead, not to mention that you need to fail every level segment to get the bad ending for the level. Another version of this trope starts appearing in Elite Beat Agents and Moero! Nekketsu Rhythm Tamashii: Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan 2. EBA introduced a vs. Ghost mode, in which you challenge the best saved score you have on a particular song — this manifests as a vs. battle. If you do too well in setting a high score, you will have a lot of trouble beating yourself. Furthermore, within the battle itself, you can get points by a perfect 300 run on a particular section of the beatmap, and half a point for getting even a single 100. Gain three or four points and you go into a sort of super mode, increasing your performance while decreasing the opponent's. If you do better than your original score in some points, you'll hit this mode one section before your opponent. They then hit the next one, making you lose the cutscene checkpoint. Also, whenever the opponent does that to you, the numbers and trails become smaller and harder to hit. If you want to mitigate this, you'll have to do exactly as well as your opponent until just before the end.

While this can add variety to the gameplay and keep things fresh, it's extremely annoying if you just want to rake in the dough, not to mention that the new career path will probably require your Sim to build more skills and make new friends to get promotions. To avoid this, many players simply have their Sims stay at the level 9 jobnote or the one with the most positive/least negative chance cards, never meeting the requirements for that last promotion.

Do Well, But Not Perfect / int_6ff9f104	comment	Madden NFL: The in-game officials are programmed to make mistakes on occasion to allow for coach's challenges. In Franchise Mode, if your team wins three Super Bowls in a row (unprecedented in reality), your head coach will retire and you'll be forced to promote an assistant coach or hire a free agent, both options likely resulting in a lesser coach in terms of ratings. The only other reason a coach will retire is due to age (with the odds increasing the older he gets and a RNG roll at the start of the offseason determining it), but a Super Bowl three-peat will ensure this. In Madden 2004, a single player cannot accumulate more than 1023 rushing yards (more than three times the actual NFL record) in a single game; any more would wrap around to -1024 due to an overflow error. With a good team, a good playbook, and a good working knowledge of AI behavior, the player might need to cut a run short and make a substitution to avoid wrecking his star running back's statistics. Starting with the iterations in the late '10s, many players have complained that the star QB of their undefeated team who set multiple NFL single-season records would lose out on awards like league MVP to players with far lesser performances. In an attempt to discourage AI abuse, it seems that the game penalizes these players for their unrealistically good performances. Doing realistically well is fine, but don't do too well.

However, if you want to be able to apply the Flecktarn camo pattern to your weapons, you have to let them get away and rescue the HVI in the Strike Force level.

There are also other incentives to letting DeFalco get away; in particular, he will continue making appearances throughout the campaign (if you kill him, a generic mook with a much less interesting personality will take his place), and there's also an achievement that requires you to let him get away and skip the second chance at a rescue.

At that point, any successful Rocket Start will push you past the line before anyone else, giving you the Badge.

There is an archery game in Clock Town. For beating the record score, you get a Quiver upgrade; and for getting a perfect score, you get a Piece of Heart. The problem is, if you get a perfect score your first time, which is quite difficult, you will only get the quiver upgrade. Which means you need to get a perfect score a second time to get the Piece of Heart, without any chance of a consolation prize of 50 Rupees for just beating your best score. It's much easier to just beat the record score by one the first time before actually trying for a perfect score. When Link returns to the First Day, the record score is reset, so you can beat it again for 50 Rupees, or get a perfect for 200. However, getting one perfect score makes it impossible to get ANY prize from anything less than a perfect score; so to get the easiest profit out of this, the best tactic for making money out of this is to beat your best score by one repeatedly until that becomes genuinely difficult, or you get a perfect score, then reset the clock, rather than trying for the big prize every time. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker: Your sword trainer rewards you for hitting him a certain number of times before he hits you thrice. Your most rewarding strategy is to start by hitting him 100 times before throwing in the towel, then 300 times before doing so, and finally 500 times. If you go straight to 300, you'll miss out on 50 rupees; if you go straight to 500, you'll miss another 100 rupees. Although, in the time it takes to safely hit him 300 times, you could easily have earned more than that amount by just cutting grass. The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks: You have to score less than 4000 points to win the quiver from the Pirate's Hideout minigame. You have to deliberately miss a couple of times, as if you hit everything flawlessly to keep the counter up you will exceed 4000 and win a Heart Container instead (both prizes are great, but the former is still given only with a score lower than that for the latter). The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword: Getting over 28 points in the "Clean Cut" minigame will earn you rare treasures like Goddess Plumes and Golden Skulls. However, getting between 20 and 23 points will get you an Evil Crystal, another rare item. Another prize you want occasionally in the same minigame is the 30 Rupees for 15-19 points. Since the game costs 10 Rupees, getting this relatively low score every few times will ensure that you'll never run out of Rupees while playing it. If you survive all 12 rounds of the "Boss Rush" minigame, you get a ludicrous 9,900 Rupees. This seems like a lot, but by the time you have the necessary upgrades to hold that many Rupees, there's not much left to buy with them. You can, however, forfeit the game early for different prizes. Quitting after round 8 gives you the Hylian Shield, the only unbreakable shield in the game. It's very handy for the final battle, which involves a lot of shield-blocking and shield-bashing, and for not needing to worry about your stupid shatter-prone shield in general. And it looks cool. Even if you really want that pile of Rupees, it's a good idea to get the shield first: it makes the minigame a lot easier, since you can't use potions to repair your shield if it breaks. There's also the fact that you can only win one prize from the Boss Rush; even if you make it all the way to the final battle in the chain and win, you only get the "beat all the bosses" prize. This means that, in order to win the Hylian Shield and Piece of Heart from the minigame, you have to play and quit the challenge after beating 4 battles (for the Piece of Heart) and 8 battles (for the Hylian Shield). Hyrule Warriors: Getting A ranks on most Adventure Mode stages requires a certain number of KOs. Reaching that number may require the player to hold back on capturing keeps until enough enemies have spawned. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: In Pondo's "Snowling" minigame, if you pick up the spare, you get 100 rupees, which isn't too shabby for early game, despite costing 20 rupees per play. Score a strike, however, and you get a Blizzard Rod...and nothing else. It's a nice weapon, granted, but probably not worth 80 rupees to most people, and you can get them for completely free in numerous locations.

Do Well, But Not Perfect / int_76908e62	comment	Idol Manager: Staffers with voice, dance or style coaching skills start out with a level beyond which they can't train an idol. That level increases as they teach idols with a level low enough to benefit from their coaching. Players who want to hire poorly skilled coaches for cheap and train them on the job will want to make sure that the idols they hire aren't too good at signing, dancing or natural looks to be trained by the poorly skilled coaches. This can also cause any business plan that involves packing the agency with the guranteed silver-tier idols from regional auditions and gold-tier idols from national auditions to backfire, as the most skilled coaches for hire only train up to level 80 out of the 100 level cap. Higher-tier idols start out with higher average skill levels, which make them much more likely to have at least one skill just under or well over the 80 mark. The game expects the player to have hit 1,000,000 fans by the transition from Chapter 4 to Chapter 5, with the most obvious hint being that it's a requirement to commit to Aya Naya's route at the end of Chapter 4. Chapter 5 is centered around a two-month Timed Mission for which one of the tips is to grow the fanbase by at least 20% over that period. All reliable means of growing the fanbase grow it by a fixed number, so players who gave too much of a boost to their fanbase numbers between the beginning of Chapter 5 and getting the mission will have a harder time getting an extra 20% in two months than players who have been neglecting fandom growth during that same period.

Do Well, But Not Perfect / int_78e27fa7	comment	In Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, there's a case of Mutually Exclusive Party Members with Karel and Harken, a Swordmaster and Hero who each show up a few turns into a later chapter—however, the one that shows up is dependent on how much of the chapter you've completed at that point (either you've killed lots of promoted enemies, or you've opened a lot of doors, depending on version). Harken is a far stronger character than Karel—his attacking power and durability is roundly superior, his speed is barely any lower despite Karel being a Fragile Speedster, he can use the much stronger axes while Karel is stuck with swords, and he joins with the game's only Brave Sword while Karel uses the much weaker Wo Dao—but he's the one who shows up if you haven't killed a sufficient amount of promoted enemies or opened a sufficient number of doors by the deadline. Hence, stomping the chapter too effectively results in you getting a worse unit. What's more, either way, they only show up on the seventh turn; it's very possible to complete the map before either can show up and lock yourself out of an incredibly strong unit.

Do Well, But Not Perfect / int_7f9f892f	comment	In War Thunder sometimes you will have tasks that require to score assists, which you can get by damaging enough an enemy vehicle without destroying it (another player has to do that for you). When such tasks are available you will find yourself in the bizarre situation that you are fighting NOT to kill your opponents, which otherwise is what you strive for. However, the required amount of damage is not tiny, so you usually have to consistently fire at your opponent, often to the point when you read "critical hit" on screen (or "Player damaged Enemy" in the battle log). The problem is that this might easily cause you to kill your target anyway, either because you do too much damage and it burns out/crashes on the ground before a teammate can land the final hit, or because a lucky shot kills the pilot or the crew (it's also possible that the adversary bails out because of the frustration). It's not unusual to see disgruntled players because they are doing too well, complaining that they "only" manage to kill enemies when they need assists.

If you (playing as Zidane) win, you get 5000 gil. If Vivi wins, you get a useless Tetra Master card. Letting Freya win, however, nets you a decent lightning elemental-absorbing accessory that teaches your party members a few useful skills/abilities. To let her win, just put the controller down for 12 minutes or kill yourself in the first battle you come across. That said, the toughest monster in the Festival of the Hunt, the Zaghnol, has two items worth stealing and gives about enough points to single-handedly win the competition. By avoiding lesser battles, entering a certain area with 4:30 left on the timer, and making Zidane take a fall against the Zaghnol (or teaming up with Freya, which splits the points between them), the player can get all of the items.

One of the criteria for catching this person requires a certain cutscene that can only be seen if you almost catch the Chocobo during Chapter 2. If you catch it or let it get away without resistance, it becomes far more difficult (if not impossible) to accuse that person. Later, during the massage minigame, you obtain a prize of a Gold Hairpin if you succeed on the first attempt. If you fail at least once, though, you obtain Heady Perfume, which is arguably a more useful accessory. The first time you play the "Gunner's Gauntlet" minigame/mission, completion of the timed course and a score of 500 are necessary to pass the mission. It can be replayed to achieve a higher score and additional prizes. On a New Game Plus, however, when you get to this mission again, the required score is now your high score from your previous playthrough[s]. Your characters earn 1 AP per battle, and an extra AP for every successful non-Attack action during the battle. You can quickly end battles for EXP and Gil by selecting the Attack command, or you can draw them out to master dresssphere abilities faster by using supplementary skills or items.

Do Well, But Not Perfect / int_8d318bad	comment	Super Mario RPG: The Pipe Maze level has a minigame where you jump on Goombas to win flower points. Score at least 20 points and you'll win a flower tab. However, the next time you play, you MUST score at least two extra points higher than your previous attempt in order to win again. If you scored more than twenty, this is still the case, and you'll have to score two more points the next time you play, so the best strategy is to stop and stand still once you've reached 20 points, beating your score little by little each time to continue earning victories. The minecart run in Moleville works similarly. You make an untimed run as part of the main story, and after that, you can win a prize by beating your previous record, no matter by how much. Since there's no way to outright fail a run, the best course of action is to slam on the brakes and deliberately crash at every opportunity the first time, then make gradual improvements on subsequent runs.

Their plan involves getting an airtight alibi by being involved with the investigation at every stage and providing an Orgy of Evidence against her frame-up victim. When they run their mouth a bit too often, the other students start to get suspicious of how many coincidences were involved to place them at every single crime scene with some sort of evidence. Kirumi Tojo from v3 is pinpointed as Chapter 2's culprit because of how neatly it was cleaned up; nobody but the highly perfectionist Ultimate Maid would've been so thourough.

Do Well, But Not Perfect / int_90c5d5fe	comment	In Patapon 2, hitting four perfect notes will send your Hero into Super Mode, and continuing to hit perfect four-note combos will keep it going. The problem lies in that they can't retreat while in it, so if your Hero s currently a melee class and the boss you're fighting uses a grab attack, the Hero is almost always the first one to go. This necessitates deliberately hitting an imperfect note so that your Hero can retreat when they need to.

This can lead to an odd balancing act where you want your unit's Defence or Avoid stats to be as high as possible without quite reaching that level, unless you have some other way to make the enemy acknowledge you (e.g. Emblem Soren's Assign Decoy skill, which will force the enemy to target such units).

Do Well, But Not Perfect / int_91afdcba	comment	Library of Ruina: Opponents will drop more copies of their books the higher their emotion level is. It's better to intentionally keep them alive and allow them to win clashes if you're looking to grind for books off of them. The Queen of Hatred has a gauge that will rise if she loses clashes or is attacked by marked librarians, and decrease when she wins clashes or attacks marked librarians. If the gauge fills up all the way, she'll transform into her One-Winged Angel form, healing the damage she previously took and making her stronger altogether. The player must lose clashes on purpose in order to prevent her from transforming. In earlier versions of the game, the Servant of Wrath would cause a Nonstandard Game Over if you denied her the final blow to the Hermit of the Azure Forest. This was changed in a later version of the game, allowing the Servant to be the only one who can land the final blow. (Though you still must keep the Servant alive lest you suffer a Nonstandard Game Over.) Similar to the example above, the player must also battle the Big and Will be Bad Wolf with the Little Red Riding Hooded Mercenary. If you deny her the final blow against the Wolf, Little Red will fully heal, gain a health buff, permanently become enraged and turn on the player.

However, if the wielder gets too good at swordfighting the sword ironically becomes less effective, as the wielder will stop using sub-optimal attack options and thus the possible outcomes of every swing are reduced.

Damage from maxed out player averages around 500 damage and if you're not at least occasionally dealing over 100 damage a hit, you have no business fighting phases. Thankfully, this was mitigated during the Hero's Quest updates, which added a "Hold Back" option that cancelled all damage bonuses you had for that attack (because you had to perform an action similar to "Shoot the Core" in order to retrieve plot-critical character Mimi).

However, many of the bowl games are consolations for the schools who finished #2, #3, or lower in their conferences, so you'll need to lose 1-5 games to even play in them. Demolishing records with your star player should make him a shoo-in for the Heisman Trophy, right? So why does he lose it so often to players with far inferior stats? Well, to thwart AI abuse, the game keeps track a player's sportsmanship, and since it is not possible to so thoroughly destroy existing records without ruthlessly running up the score every single week, it works against your player when it comes to award voting.

Do Well, But Not Perfect / int_9f833a1e	comment	Lobotomy Corporation is a game centered around containing "Abnormalities" to gather energy from them. Most of your monsters are straightforward with how they work, and better tends to be better. However, most Abnormalities can cause problems from working with them incorrectly, ranging from breaching containment to instantly possessing whoever is working on them to go on a murderous rampage. And these can happen for pretty much any reason depending on the monster, including getting most of the energy you can from one work session or having a certain stat be too high. Plague Doctor will activate its ability on anyone who gets a Good work result on it... and also, if that employee gets a Bad work result. It's generally advised to get a Neutral result from working on it, unless you desire to obtain the deadly (yet more profitable) WhiteNight. Getting a Good work result on Grave of Cherry Blossoms will cause it to bloom and the Qliphoth Counter (a counter that triggers an Abnormality's ability when it reaches a certain number) to drop. Getting too many Good work results will allow the Abnormality to call more employees to it, killing them. Getting a Good or Bad result on Alriune will cause her Qliphoth counter to decrease, meaning a player must strive for Neutral results to keep her in check and prevent her from breaching. The same criteria also applies to The Silent Orchestra. The Queen of Hatred's Qliphoth counter will drop if three employees haven't died before each Qliphoth Meltdown. The Firebird's Qliphoth counter goes down when you get a Good result, and up when the player gets a Bad result. Unless you can withstand the damage, it's generally advised to go for a Neutral result.

Do Well, But Not Perfect / int_9f89a5f0	comment	In the PokÃ©mon games, capturing a wild Mon is likelier if it's been weakened by attacks from your creatures or has a status condition such as sleep or paralysis â€” but if your attacks knock its HP to zero and it faints, you can't catch it at all. In the bug catching contest in the second generation, first prize was a Sun Stone, which only evolved two Pokemon. Second prize was an Everstone, a hold item that kept Pokemon from evolving. Third prize was a Gold Berry, a hold item that restored 30 HP and was incredibly rare. Once you got two Sun Stones and an Everstone, Gold Berries were what you wanted to win. The Platinum version contains a special challenge that requires you to defeat a series of trainers in a certain amount of turns. However, as you are required to match the number of turns exactly, doing too well against them will result in a failure. The restaurants in X and Y work the same way, except that most of the enemy Pokemon carry Protect to make matching the turn requirement a Luck-Based Mission. Inverse Battles handled by Inver also work this way, with the reward quality increasing with the number of super effective attacks you land. This means you have to use weaker attacks and/or PokÃ©mon in order to drag the battle out to allow for more hits, rather than doing your best to defeat him.note However, having any of your PokÃ©mon faint will force you to only get the lowest quality reward Additionally, the highest tier of reward is Rare Candies - useful, but can be replaced by Level Grinding. The second best tier, however, is an evolutionary stone - and this is one of the only ways to farm them in quantity in this game.

Do Well, But Not Perfect / int_a66b3bbc	comment	In DanceDanceRevolution and other rhythm games, "x Attacking" is the process of trying to get as many of a certain judgement below perfect as possible (the most common variant is "Great Attacking", "Great" being the judgement below perfect in DDR). This is actually harder than playing the game for real, since you have to be just a little off the beat, consistently. It's usually a Self-Imposed Challenge, but In the Groove acknowledges Great Attacks. Players have been known to half-ass the 3rd and final song of a credit of DDR because they're too tired to play the Extra Stage. pop'n music has the "ALL GOOD" norma, which requires you to get all Goods. It's very difficult to do, so it's no surprise that it's a 15-point norma. There is also a slightly easier norma which requires you clear a song with a full meter and a maximum of 25,000 (out of 100,000) points. Getting all Goods would get you exactly 20,000 points and a full meter, so even with a full combo you can occasionally get a Great. One of the top-tier challenges in the PSX version of DDR 4th Mix's Challenge Mode was to clear a specific section of a song without a single Perfect or Great. This required Good Attacking the song, as a Boo or Miss would lower your gauge, and you fail if it empties, while the only way to raise it is to get Perfects or Greats. Another challenge required getting all Goods on a (much shorter) section. DDR Extreme US PS2 had you do a section with zero points, basically the same thing (you can't get any Greats or Perfects at all, and any Boos or Misses would drain your health). PS2 versions of beatmania IIDX often have gallery pictures unlocked by clearing a song in Expert Mode with 18% or less on your gauge at the end (note that you fail if it empties at any time), another for finishing with more than 80% but not 100%, and three more for ranges in between. Since getting a Good judgment in beatmania IIDX doesn't provide any points, getting all Goods in a song (also known as "Good Attacking") will result in you clearing it with a full combo, but finishing with a score of 0, the same as if you didn't hit any notes at all. beatmania IIDX and at least one version of Beatmania III offer the Border Bonus: Finish the song with your meter filled just barely enough to pass, and you'll get a bonus of 5730 points. There are also higher bonuses if you combine this with getting all Greats or higher, or all Just Greats. In beatmania IIDX 20 tricoro's Legend Cross event (until it ended), one of the requirements to unlock boss songs was to finish a song with an EX score of exactly 573. Done again in beatmania IIDX 21 SPADA's Super Star Mitsusu revival event, where one of the unlock requirements was to play a song on Mirror and finish with an EX Score of exactly 623. This is basically the (unimaginative) point of half of the World Max mission mode in Pump It Up. Quite a few other missions have some incredibly clever gameplay mechanics though, or some alternative stepcharts that are so fun they should probably be illegal. jubeat, REFLEC BEAT, Tone Sphere, and Cytus discourage this sort of run through score-based pass/fail systems. In jubeat's case, you need 700,000 points out of 1 million to clear the song, and getting all Goods instead of Perfects only yields 460,000 points.

If the player gets the good ending, they receive the infinite ammo bandana, which is handy but not indispensable. The bad ending gives them the stealth camouflage, rendering them invisible to enemies. In a stealth game, that's much more useful. There is a torture scene that must be survived through button mashing. If you mash too fast, the game will think you're using auto-fire and punish you for it.

Since you have multiple opponents to worry about, appearing to be the strongest player is a good way to get them to gang up on you and eliminate you first. Holding back creatures and pieces of your combo until you have a means to counter multiple opponents is commonplace. Conversely, you also don't want to look like the weakest player either, since you'll be seen as an "easy out" and, thus, eliminated quickly.

Bialystock and Bloom do everything they can, from top-to-bottom, to make the play a flop: they find a script written by a deranged former Nazi about the greatness of Hitler, hand it off to a flamboyantly Camp Gay director, and cast a strung-out beatnik in the title role. Any one or two of those elements would have probably doomed the play to close in a single night—but all of them together manage to force the material so far over-the-top that the audience interprets the play as a satire, with its depiction of Hitler as an absurd buffoon and the Nazi regime being introduced with the goofiest musical number you've ever seen.

She decides that she won't try to win her heat but will instead just try to finish the course alive. Her class rank will suffer for not coming in first, but she just wants to survive the course and would happily drop a few ranks if it means she doesn't have to slug it out with the frontrunners. (The protagonist Emily notes that only thirty-two students at maximum can pass orientation and there are forty-eight competitors, meaning that if enough students finish the slowest ones will be rejected and killed anyways, but LaTasha checked on how previous classes did and is sure there won't be thirty-two survivors at all. If true, that means everyone who finishes would automatically pass orientation and not be killed.)

During her family's mahjong nights, she would get punished if she did too well and made fun of if she lost, so she would get perfectly no score and tie... which is actually harder to deliberately get than a clear win or loss, meaning she's far better at mahjong then she initially appears. Unfortunately, this leads to some early friction with Nodoka, who, after she realizes that Saki could win if she played normally, gets frustrated with Saki's playstyle and insists that she play normally.

Many people who did take the advice from Kitchen Nightmares and Bar Rescue to heart and wound up doing well still had to close up shop a few years in the future - simply because they were unable to renew their lease. A lot of restaurants and bars don't actually own the property they're set up on - because this is quite risky (as this can make you unable to relocate and going under means now you have to sell the property - which may often be done at a loss). If you do well enough, you can actually cause your lease to become too expensive for you. And if you are in a complex, you can even run your neighbours out of business for a similar reason.

Do Well, But Not Perfect / int_ba1083f7	comment	The earlier Guitar Hero installments. You need to beat Career Mode on/5-Star every song on each difficulty separately to unlock all the guitars. Guitar Hero III made the achievements for beating Career Mode stackable (hard gets you easy and medium) but not the ones for 5-Starring everything. World Tour and later games abandoned this approach. In the early Guitar Hero games, you couldn't tell what your star rank would be until the end of the song. Fansite ScoreHero compiled a list of cutoffs for the different grades by repeatedly playing through and recording what scores earned how many stars. This got rather difficult when suddenly single-point precision is required. No-fail cheats in later games made it significantly easier. Trying to miss enough to land exactly one point short of the four-star cutoff while still passing the song is hideously counterintuitive; far easier is to set a target score from the start, whammy point the last digits early on, play normally (well, skipping holds) until you hit the score and then ignore everything else.

To get it, you have to take the lead within the last ten seconds of a multiplayer match and keep it by the end of the match. Naturally, the best way to get it would be to stay close enough to the leader that you can easily overtake, but not actually take the lead until the time is right. This achievement can easily be "boosted" by cooperating with someone in a private match, but getting it legit, in a dramatic come-from-behind victory can lead to whoops and cackles of joy. In Revelations, there is an achievement related to the "Base Defence" minigame triggered by being notorious for too long. For some players, getting this achievement requires going on a rampage, or other similar high-profile activities. And even then, you better hope it's early in the game, before you permanently lock the Assassin Dens by installing a master assassin in them.

Due to a calculation overflow, raising their affection to 999 will result in a Ranch Master Rate no higher than 994. This is particularly complicated by the fact that a perfect score also requires you to have 2 children, which means that your wife's affection must have reached 800 at some point; you have to actively reduce her affection after she bears your children (eg by giving her poisonous mushrooms and weeds) in order to achieve the perfect score. Most players settle for a "good enough" score instead.

To make a long story short: Each section times you on how fast you get through the first 70 levels out of 100, and exceeding that section's "baseline" 0-70 target time will get you a COOL!! and increase your grade. However, to get a COOL!! in the subsequent section, you need to get through its respective 0-70 sub-section no more than two seconds slower than the previous section's 0-70.For exampleIf you get through levels 0-70 in 51 seconds, you must complete levels 100-170 in less than 53 seconds to get a COOL!! on that particular level range. But if you take only 40 seconds in 0-70, you need to beat 100-170 in 42 seconds or less. Failure to do so will forfeit the COOL!! and the next section will award a COOL!! based on the baseline target time again. This has led to many aspiring Grand Masters deliberately slowing down the early game so that the game won't get harsh on them later.

Do Well, But Not Perfect / int_beac6ffb	comment	The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask: Two Heart Pieces are obtained by wearing a mask that forces you to stay awake in order to listen to an old lady's boring stories. There are two stories, and she asks you a question after each one to make sure you were paying attention. In order to get both Heart Pieces, you have to get the first question right and the second one wrong. The old lady is expecting answers based on the stories she just told you; the answer to the first story's question is told in the first story, but the answer to the second story's question is not (which is why she rewards you for getting it wrong). There is an archery game in Clock Town. For beating the record score, you get a Quiver upgrade; and for getting a perfect score, you get a Piece of Heart. The problem is, if you get a perfect score your first time, which is quite difficult, you will only get the quiver upgrade. Which means you need to get a perfect score a second time to get the Piece of Heart, without any chance of a consolation prize of 50 Rupees for just beating your best score. It's much easier to just beat the record score by one the first time before actually trying for a perfect score. When Link returns to the First Day, the record score is reset, so you can beat it again for 50 Rupees, or get a perfect for 200. However, getting one perfect score makes it impossible to get ANY prize from anything less than a perfect score; so to get the easiest profit out of this, the best tactic for making money out of this is to beat your best score by one repeatedly until that becomes genuinely difficult, or you get a perfect score, then reset the clock, rather than trying for the big prize every time.

One area is near a team's spawn point, one is near the other team's spawn point, and the third is somewhere between the other two. Because of a quirk in the game's respawn rules, it's usually more effective to control only two of the areas instead of all three. Besides spreading forces thinner, controlling all three areas makes the losing team respawn anywhere on the map, whereas controlling only two keeps them respawning around the one area they control, making their movements and strategies more predictable.

Finishing the map faster or slower than this changes the debriefing between "good work, people" and "good work but we lost many good men". It also determines your rank. Especially aggravating if you see this, and go for a No Casualties Run the next mission, only to be again told many good men were lost...

Additionally, the "well done" rank for achieving a good score without identifying all 6 Pokemon always gives Nectar, a hard to get, strong IQ-boosting item; the only time the game offers anything substantially better or rare for perfect play is during the very first Sentry Duty.

His obsession with having passing grades, but never completing a diploma, leads to a weird war with his University, where they keep trying to change the rules just enough to force him to graduate. The University wins. He gets stuck with a degree (a Ph.D., no less—in anthropology) through some misuse of obscure rules.

Getting a low score is dangerous, because it marks you as easy meat and makes getting sponsorships near impossible. When Katniss pisses off the gamemakers, she's surprised when they give her a perfect 12, until Haymitch explains that's actually worse, because it encourages everyone else to gang up and kill you first, so they don't have to face you one-on-one later.

Because of this, it can be very beneficial to prolong a fight by casting Sleep or Frog on the last remaining enemy and then take turns beating on your own guys with Throw Rock or a weak physical attack (if you're a caster). Other effective and non-damaging ways to up experience include the squire job Accumulate and Ramza's Yell skill. Completing the battles quickly and efficiently nets you far less points.

Do Well, But Not Perfect / int_d4d31eeb	comment	In DJMAX Portable and DJMAX Portable 2, there are discs you can obtain by getting certain percentages. There's the discs that require you to get at least a certain percentage on a song, but there's also ones that require you to get very low percentages, as well as ones that require you to have exactly a multiple of 10 as your percentage. There's also the Lucky and Evil discs, obtained by getting 77.7% and 66.6%, respectively. And to obtain any disc, including these ones, you must finish the song; if your Life Meter bottoms out you won't earn anything. Also, combo unlocks, the process of which consists of the following: achieve a particular combo...and then break it before you reach the next combo unlock. If you do reach the next unlock, that unlock will be opened, but not any of the ones before it. DJMAX Trilogy has the "Self Injury" mission, in which the goal is to complete a set of songs with an accuracy rating between 60% and 70%. Delves a little into Fake Difficulty because hold notes, when held down, yield MAX 100% for every eighth note that it's held down for. DJMAX Technika's Technical Mode. Each set has two boss songs (or in the case of two sets, three), and which one you get depends on your MAX-to-notecount ratio for the first 3 stages. So you should always try to nail lots of MAXes, right? WRONG. Some of the boss songs you get for getting high MAX percentages actually have a lower max combo than their low-accuracy counterparts, meaning you get more points on the 4th stage if you get the boss song that requires lower accuracy. So what does this lead to? Having to play "Cool Attack" and get some Cools to avoid raising the MAX percentage too high and getting the lower-scoring 4th stage. Perhaps because of this, DJMAX Technika 2 and 3 instead determine boss songs based on which available songs you pick for your set. The Specialist Set, however, has an intentional example of this. Get less than 70% MAX judgments and you get the set's third possible boss song, Fermion.

He basically gets C and B grades, but is shown to be far far more capable of being a Straight-A student. In one story arc, he gets paired with two of the smart kids in class for a group project, and their final grade is based off of all their work. Nate of course does a good enough grade that he gets an "A". When asked why he doesn't normally do that, Nate points out that bringing home "A"s all the time means he won't be rewarded as much for when it does happen, and that he finds it quite tiring to do so all the time. In this case, it's also because he's Brilliant, but Lazy.

It is by far the most profitable bonus stage, and the fastest way to earn points in the game. The way the stage works is that you score 50 million points per hit on Mewtwo, and it takes 24 hits to win. Ideally, you will want to get about 20 hits and then just stop playing. The reason behind this is that if you win, you'll loop back to your table's first bonus stage, but if you fail, you'll play the Mewtwo bonus stage again the next time you go to a bonus stage.

If you don't particularly need these items due to playing well, your collection rating can be pretty miserable, especially on lower difficulties. This is mitigated by the fact that the only items that count towards this percentage are ones that you can pick up even if you don't need them, such as small health potions - larger health packs and ammo pickups don't count.

Do Well, But Not Perfect / int_e863cc41	comment	Mega Man Battle Network, and later Mega Man Star Force: When you re-match the bosses for their summon chips, winning in 30 seconds gets you the most powerful variation of the chip. 60 seconds or more gets you the weakest variation. Somewhere in the middle is the middle variation. So you either obliterate the boss in 30 seconds, or drag out the battle, but not too long. Battle Network also applies for chips from viruses, as some codes can only be obtained with a low rank, and specific codes are an important part of folder-building. You can also calculatedly take a couple of hits and obliterate the boss/virus otherwise.

It's a Mirror Match where the enemy copies your units, skills and stats perfectly. It's cool if you can hit half the enemies with Lethality, but you don't want the enemy to hit even one of your units with it due to the game's permadeath mechanic. It's recommended to take only one or two of your strongest units, unequip any dangerous skills or weapons from them, fill the rest of the army with your B-teamnote (leaving those slots empty will just make the game spawn multiple copies of your star units), and abuse the Pair Up mechanic (which the AI will never use, even when mimicking you).

Hajime's worried about planning her company's end-of-the-year party with Aoba and Yun, since if they don't do well, they'll be considered employees who can't work well with others, but if they do well, they'll get the job every year. Hajime then suggests that they could do a decent but forgettable celebration, but Aoba wonders if being forgettable is worse than being seen as uncooperative, and Yun argues that they have nothing to lose by doing well.

Do Well, But Not Perfect / int_eb6719f6	comment	Final Fantasy VIII's first task is to defeat Ifrit within a selected-by-you time limit. The catch is that the test is described as a "test of judgment", so completing it too soon means you could not accurately estimate your abilities and subsequently gave yourself too much time. In other words, scoring well on this test requires finishing with less time remaining — a perfect score is reached if you finish with ten seconds or less remaining on the clock. In the Japanese version, you have to kill Ifrit and escape the dungeon before you run out of time, making the whole experience more of a test of time management rather than rationality (plus it serves as a Chekhov's Gun for something you'll be doing later in the story). Even if you give yourself the lowest amount of time possible, your score will still drop if you kill Ifrit too soon. The best score requires you to finish with seven seconds or less on the clock, which means most people will end up letting Ifrit beat on them for a while (you can still get a game over if he's talking when the timer runs out, though). However, you can cheat the system in the English version and avoid this trouble by taking note of how much time you have remaining when you defeat Ifrit. Then, when the naming screen comes up, stay on that screen and keep an eye on your watch until time's up, then continue gameplay as normal. There, now you have the best possible score, a giant hellbeast at your beck and call, and a smug sense of superiority.

The heroes, in particular Android 18, have trouble reining in their planet-destroying power to appear competitive to the normal humans. Except for Vegeta, who has no patience for that and just sends the machine flying through a wall. Gohan suffers from this in high school sports in the same arc as he tries to fit in despite his extremely unorthodox childhood: he takes a screaming baseball pitch to the face without blinking, and accidentally jumps higher than a building to catch a home run ball.

Do Well, But Not Perfect / int_edac271f	comment	In American Idol, The X Factor, and similar TV shows, this is a good strategy during the rounds post-first audition but pre-viewer vote rounds. If you do too well during those rounds, the judges will expect much more of you during the viewer vote rounds and be harder on you, thus making it look like you're worse than you actually are, and losing you votes and possibly causing your elimination. Conversely, if you don't do that well in those rounds, the judges won't be as tough on you later on, making it look like you're better than you actually are. Furthermore, viewers tend to like the narrative of an underdog bursting through the pack and becoming a contender. Indeed, in such shows, the early favorite rarely wins. Therefore, in those rounds, a good strategy is to sing at about 80-90% of your maximum ability: well enough to get you to the viewer vote rounds, but not well enough to heap unnecessary pressure on yourself.

Raising a ChibiBuddyâ„¢ involves interacting with it to raise or lower its stats (Fitness, Intelligence, Socialization, or Alignment). If any of your ChibiBuddy's stats hits zero, it dies (if it hits zero Fitness, it might have a heart attack; if it hits zero Socialization, it might literally die of loneliness), but the same goes if one of its stats hits the maximum of ten (if it reaches maximum Fitness, it might die from overtaxing itself during a work-out; if it reaches maximum Alignment, it might die from making a Heroic Sacrifice).

However, winning the ultimate prize of the WWE title will immediately and unexpectedly put the player past the Point of No Return and force them into a retirement match. In order to prolong the game and acquire certain unlockables it is necessary to lose any WWE title matches, and often to throw other matches as well in order to avoid the title shot storylines in favour of the ones with the desired rewards. The next iteration, WWE 2k16, has a mechanic in career mode that rewards move variation and prolonging matches by means of near-misses, failed pins, reversals, and so on. So ending the match quickly with an efficient-but-repetitive technique will only gain modest rewards, while putting on a good show and building drama will award the player with more virtual currency and prestige. Well, it IS Professional Wrestling.

Do Well, But Not Perfect / int_f99c3ee	comment	Played for humor in an episode of Don't Hug Me I'm Scared, where the Duck gives Red Guy three guesses to guess what he's holding behind his back. Red Guy gets it on the second try, but Duck insists he ask a third time anyway, just so they can know what his third guess would have been. When a rather annoyed Red Guy gives a deliberately wrong third guess, Duck declares victory, since the last guess made was wrong—meaning the only way to "win" the game would have been to get the first two guesses wrong.

In the majority of cases, the challenge is simply to hit Sandbag over a certain distance; fair enough. However, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U includes two where the challenge is to hit Sandbag between 500m and 505m; one can be done with any character, and the other must be done with R.O.B. Hit it 505.1m, a more impressive result? Too bad, you fail! These challenges require a whole lot of careful buildup and positioning to hit at the exact right amount of damage instead of just doing as much as possible.
