* <span style="color: #757474;">'''N.G.'''</span> - This judgment is obtained when a Freeze Arrow is missed or Shock Arrows are stepped on. N.G. is now counted as part of Miss but is still shown on screen during gameplay. N.G. is short for '''No Good'''.

Since DanceDanceRevolution X2, the game can display a judgment timing indicator (判定タイミング表示) on screen: <span style="color: #ca00cd;">'''Slow'''</span> when the arrow was stepped after it matched the STEP ZONE arrows and <span style="color: #311aa3;">'''Fast'''</span> if the step was pressed before the arrows met the STEP ZONE properly. Getting a Marvelous judgment or higher (O.K. included) won't trigger the timing indicator. This feature can be disabled by the arcade operator and thus, it is not available on every arcade machine. Beginning with DanceDanceRevolution (2014), the Fast/Slow indicator can be enabled by purchasing an e-amusement Basic subscription plan.

From DanceDanceRevolution (2014) to DanceDanceRevolution A3, the Fast/Slow indicator could be enabled from the games' websites by purchasing an e-amusement Basic subscription plan. However, as of March 24th, 2022 in DanceDanceRevolution A3, it no longer requires an e-amusement subscription.


The existence of a judgment better than "Perfect" can be thought of as an anachronism: as the game uses frame-based timing, a Perfect on the first 30 FPS arcade cabinets literally meant frame perfect. After the series transitioned to 60 FPS, the Perfect timing window was changed to 2 frames to keep gameplay consistent and comparable, allowing the introduction of a new frame perfect timing window smaller than the original.
