Swing (also ''Swing beats'' or ''Heart block'') is a gimmick that causes even pulses to occur a set amount of beats earlier or later than a [[Classic Beats|Classic Beat]], giving the row an uneven feel. Despite their differing appearance, rows affected by swing have the same hit timing as a Classic Beat of the same tick speed. While swing is not exclusive to any character, the gimmick is associated with [[Mr. Stevenson]] and [[Mrs. Stevenson]]. | '''Swing''' (also ''Swing beats'' or ''Heart block'') is a gimmick that causes even pulses to occur a set amount of beats earlier or later than a [[Classic Beats|Classic Beat]], giving the row an uneven feel.
