History Main / FlawlessVictory

** "100% SYNCHRONIZED!" (classic ''maimai'') / "FULL SYNC DELUXE!" (''Deluxe'' onwards) -- clear a chart in a multiplayer round with a Sync percentage (that is, percentage of notes in which all players are within one judge rank of each other on a particular note) of 100%. In classic ''maimai'', the game must be set to Sync Play rather than VS Play.

* ''VideoGame/{{Caladrius}}'' awards a no-death run of a stage with special artwork on the results screen. The illustrations are extremely lewd for a game that isn't straight up adults-only, featuring ClothingDamage and [[NippledAndTimed nominally-censored forbidden regions]]. The arcade UpdatedRerelease ''Caladrius AC'' substitutes these illustrations for different, much more chaste images, while the second updated version for consoles, ''Caladrius Blaze'', brings back the original illustrations, with the arcade ones available in Arcade Mode.

CherryTapping can make the victory both flawless ''and'' humiliating. See NoCasualtiesRun for the strategy game equivalent. A NoDamageRun is what happens when you manage to make ''every'' battle a Flawless Victory.

* In ''WACCA'':

** "ALL PERFECT+!" -- clear the chart with all Perfects, and all Critical Perfects on Break notes, i.e. an Achievement score of [[Over100PercentCompletion 101%]]. (''Deluxe'' onwards)''

** "ALL PERFECT+!" -- clear the chart with all Perfects, and all Critical Perfects on Break notes. (''Deluxe'' onwards)''

** "100% SYNCHRONIZED!" (classic ''maimai'') / "FULL DELUXE!" (''Deluxe'' onwards) -- clear a chart in a multiplayer round with a Sync percentage (that is, percentage of notes in which all players are within one judge rank of each other on a particular note) of 100%. In classic ''maimai'', the game must be set to Sync Play rather than VS Play.

** "FULL COMBO+!" -- clear the chart with only Greats or higher. ''(Deluxe onwards)''
** "ALL PERFECT!" -- clear the chart with all Perfects.[[note]]Note that while this implies an Achievement Rate of at least 100%, it is possible to go over even without an AP by hitting Break notes accurately enough to get 2550 or 2600 points on each one.[[/note]]
** "ALL PERFECT+!" -- clear the chart with all Perfects, and all Critical Perfects on Break notes. ''(Deluxe onwards)''
** "MAX FEVER!" / "FULL SYNC!" -- clear a chart in a multiplayer round without anyone, including yourself, missing a note.
** "100% SYNCHRONIZED!" / "FULL DELUXE!" -- clear a chart in a multiplayer Sync Play with a Sync percentage (that is, percentage of notes in which all players are within one judge rank of each other on a particular note) of 100%.

** "100% SYNCHRONIZED!" -- clear a chart in a multiplayer Sync Play with a Sync percentage (that is, percentage of notes in which all players are within one judge rank of each other on a particular note) of 100%.

* ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII'' rewarded you by giving you extra points on the end-of-round bonus. This carried into ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIII'', with the announcer yelling "All right, that's cool!" The ''[[VideoGame/CapcomVsWhatever Marvel/Tatsunoko vs. Capcom]]'' games had "Perfect", which is used by most (if not all) Capcom fighters as the terminology.

* Defeating an opponent without taking damage yourself in the ''VideoGame/SamuraiShodown'' series will have the announcer say "Kansho!", which means "perfect victory" in Japanese.

* [[GameOfNerds Baseball's]] "perfect game", defined as the same pitcher going all 9 with 27 up-27 down (no hits, no walks, no errors charged) is a definite flawless victory. Similarly, a pitcher going all 9 without giving up a run, called a "Shut Out", is the equivalent of a No Death Run. A "No-Hitter" is where a pitcher does not allow any hits but still allows baserunners, either via walks or errors. It is rare (only happened once officially) but completely possible to [[CrackDefeat throw a no-hitter and still lose.]]
* Due to its relatively short season, in North America football teams are the only ones with any plausible chance at a perfect season (no losses/ties), but it's still very rare. For American football, at the professional level the only NFL team to pull it off so far is the 17-0 1972 Miami Dolphins; there have been [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_undefeated_NCAA_Division_I_football_teams dozens of college teams]] to accomplish it, but their seasons are shorter (nowadays college teams schedule 12 games in a regular season plus 1[[note]]at most 2 with the introduction of the College Football Playoff in 2014[[/note]] bowl game vs. 16 NFL regular season games plus 3 or 4[[note]]Wild Card Round, Divisional Round, Conference Championship, Super Bowl[[/note]] playoff games) and the balance of competition in college football is generally more lopsided (i.e., there tend to be more "cupcake" teams in a given college team's schedule). The CFL also has one perfect season (the 1948 Calgary Stampeders). For comparison, the NBA and NHL currently have 82-game regular seasons, and MLB has 162.

* In the more recent ''Franchise/YuGiOh'' video games, you get more duel points for winning without taking damage.
* One ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' game also gave you more points for a perfect win. This was not turned for the SingleStrokeBattle mode.

* ''Series/TheAmazingRace''. Meghan & Cheyne (15), Kisha & Jen (Unfinished Business), Ernie & Cindy (19), Rachel & Dave (20), Jason & Amy (23) and Dave & Connor (All-Stars 2014) all won the Race without ever being in danger of elimination at any point (being one of the last two teams that didn't arrive at the pit stop yet, regardless of the leg being an elimination leg or not). Rob & Brennan also did this, but that was because of a poorly-placed equalizer during leg 10 making it impossible for them to finish below 3rd.

** Lesser variant: The Perfect Show - all six pricing games, plus the Showcase, won. This has only happened 80 times since the show's debut [[LongRunner in 1972]]

** Of particular note is the penultimate [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Myeongnyang Battle of Myeongnyang Strait]], in which the Korean navy - down to a paltry 13 ships due to a Japanese plot - took on roughly 330 Japanese ships, including 130 warships. Due to carefully choosing his battleground[[note]]the strait was ''locally'' notorious for having a current that switched direction every few hours - the Japanese weren't local[[/note]], Yi's forces suffered no loss of ships, 2 killed, 3 wounded, and 8 drowned. The Japanese fleet, on the other hand, lost 60 ships (30 to crashing and another 30 to the Korean navy) and ''half'' their soldiers were killed or injured.

* Admiral [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yi_Sun-sin Yi Sun-sin]], the [[UsefulNotes/SouthKoreansWithMarines Korean naval commander]] during the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_invasions_of_Korea_(1592–1598) 1590s invasion by Japan]] was able to pull this off ''[[TheStrategist multiple]]'' times against the Japanese navy. The Korean navy, accustomed to dealing with pirates, were heavily armed with cannons for long-range combat, and had recently developed the "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turtle_ship turtle ship]]", a vessel that had cannons pointing in every direction and a spiked top to repel boarders. This was bad news for the Japanese navy, as their specialty lay in boarding tactics. This led Yi to develop the Crane Wings formation, in which he sent the turtle ships into the center of the Japanese fleet to open fire from within as his other vessels (including converted fishing ships) encircled them and opened fire from without. As a result of this, the Korean navy decimated the Japanese on the open sea, to the point that their only casualties were individual ''sailors''.
