  • Case in point, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy actually reduced the amount of Coyote time compared to the original games, which left players missing jumps, screwing up timings and dying far more often than they expected to. WhatCulture
  • Games without Coyote Time were often dismissed as “too hard” or “not fun.” Developers who managed to get it right would end up with games that are still beloved today. Goliath
  • Mojang Studios has redesigned the aim assist in this Minecraft Combat Snapshot version six. This update removes “Coyote Time,” which was originally introduced in version five, which let you hit something if you’ve aimed at it but technically attacked outside the bounding box. Happy Gamer

コヨーテタイム


Definition from hatelabo:
2Dアクションゲームにおいて、ジャンプボタンの入力が多少遅れてもいいように、足場から落ちた直後だけ空中でジャンプができるようにする処理のこと。

ルーニートゥーンズのワイリー・コヨーテが、崖から足を踏み外したときに一瞬だけ空中で静止する描写に由来する。

Example sentence(s):
  • 本当は空中でジャンプできる方が不自然なのに、「コヨーテタイム」を作ることでプレイヤーは自然に操作できていると感じるんですね。 - Nintendo Indie World  
  • OverwatchのようにAを実行中にBを押しっぱなしで即B発動が出来ないのはともかく、Celesteのようにコヨーテタイムもない。 - Blogspot  
  • 非常に精密な操作が要求されるCelesteの場合、コヨーテタイムの存在は落下死の回数を減らしてくれる効果があります。 - Gigazine  

Explanation:
ときにはコヨーテタイムはジャンプだけでなく、あらゆる行動ができる時間を延長するという意味で使われています。
例えば、 「プレイヤーが何かを狙っていても当たり判定で攻撃した場合一瞬だけ発動する「Coyote Time」を追加。」
