Action Command

A Timed Hit allows a character to do significantly more damage to an enemy than a normal hit. Often, Timed Hits occur when the player presses the “A” button right before the party member hits his opponent. Additionally, party members will receive less damage if the player presses "A" right before an enemy attacks. Timed Hits are the key to success in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, the Paper Mario series, and the Mario & Luigi series.
