flawless victory

Untouched complete win

Flawless victory is a perfect win achieved without taking any damage or making mistakes.

The phrase originated in the 1992 video game Mortal Kombat, announced when a player won a round without being hit.

It has since spread to describe any complete, untarnished success: She aced every question—flawless victory.
