What's your favorite RPG "timed button press" gimmick?

Costume Quest. I played it for the first time this Halloween, and didn't even know it had this mechanic for fights.
Has to be Vagrant Story, the tension as you wait for the Impact Guard timing with 0HP is something else. "Every death is your fault" has never been more true.
Shadow Hearts? I knew you were a man of taste and refinement.
Nailing the timing in Lost Odyssey felt great, especially when they would expand on it with better rings that had extra effects and a bigger critical region.
Mario & Luigi had a huge variety of timed attacks that let you attack almost indefinitely as long as you timed it right.

100% - no questions.
And I would love for a remake of the Shadow Hearts games. So sad that IP has disappeared.
I love how it's done in Yakuza Like a Dragon. Every move has its rhythm and press type.
It feels satisfying.

It's either the Chain Abilities on Vagrant Story form me, or pressing R1 to shoot the Gunblade with Squall on FFVIII.
Yakuza 7: Like a Dragon. Even though it is just the usual stuff the series has had before, but now in turn based.
