Since Patch 10.2.0, the actual Great Skill Check validation range appears to extend beyond the visible Great Skill Check zone. Inputs at or slightly outside either boundary of the visual Great zone can still consistently register as Great Skill Checks, despite no apparent change to the UI.

The actual Great Skill Check validation range should match the Great Skill Check zone displayed in the UI. Inputs outside the visible Great zone should not register as Great Skill Checks.

This behavior started after Patch 10.2.0. Before the patch, inputs made at or just outside the edge of the visible Great Skill Check zone would generally not register as Great. Since 10.2.0, Great Skill Checks appear to register noticeably beyond the visual boundaries of the Great zone, even though the UI itself does not appear to have changed. Some players suspect that the actual Great Skill Check validation window may have become larger than the visual zone, while others have suggested it could be related to frame/timing changes introduced in 10.2.0. However, it does not appear to behave like a simple client/server timing offset, since the valid Great range does not seem merely shifted to one side. Instead, the entire Great Skill Check timing window appears to be more lenient or expanded compared to before the patch. Please verify whether the actual Great Skill Check validation range was unintentionally increased in 10.2.0.
