Ōkami had several sequences where the player had to perform certain actions at certain times to help a certain character.Every disarm taken from behind (sneak disarms rare but possible if you run up on an unaware enemy fast enough) requires that you only press the Y button timing does not matter so much as positioning. Required once (and only once) in Mirror's Edge.It's particularly annoying when you're trying to jack a helicopter because the sequence takes time, and all the while the cops are shooting at you and damaging the chopper.
