Maybe you just suck -- "physically" | Forums

Averaging 280. Can't seem to get below 250. I'm usually stoned when I play though - I definitely suck more but it allows me to remain calm and laugh when I get ganked rather than snapping my controller and screaming at my girlfriend for touching me whilst i'm in a match.

I'll try again later and see the difference. Nice find, by the way!

First run: (test run - without focus on anything exept that i know that it will turn green, but i actually don't know how it really will happen)
Average = 268
Best one: 210
Worst: 310

Second run: (with acutally knowing what will happen (estimating when it will happen to better react), adjusting my hand/finger right and getting a feeling for the mouse/click input delay)
Average = 187
Best one: 36
Worst: 254

Third run: (same conditions as the second)

Must be nice. Haha I tried 10 times, ready to rock and concentrated really hard. I averaged 354 and my best score was 318 😵 Damn I'm only 23....and they say weed doesn't have lasting effects past 2 months and that's the with heaviest and consistent use. 😂😂😂

I wouldn't worry too much guys, It only goes to show that when we defend ourselves in the game, its so much more than just pure reflexes -- and experience, anticipation, situational analysis and etc etc so much more things come into play.

It also goes to prove how we perceive incoming attacks may be seriously impacted by the telegraphed motion. Minimal/compact motion attacks are more difficult to defend against, while large motion attacks are easier -- despite having same fps speed.

Indeed - it is more than just reaction, it's a mix out of reaction, comfort, experience, practice, adaptation, equipment ( this is a huge part - Monitor(refresh rate etc), mouse+keyboard or gamepad where i think gamepads have less input delay and do feel much better in the hand, but a mouse and keyboard are not that limited to certain fingers like a gamepad (means you don't have to switch with your thumb from button to button).

Man don't worry I'm worse than all you all. I win matches simply by having played the game so long and literally anticipating everything.

Call it Jedi mind tricks....

These are not the droids you are looking for....

That's basically where I'm at haha. I'm too old for this s***, my noggin aint what it was 10 and definitely not 20 years ago. Almost all of my success in FH can be attributed to predictions, reads and experience. I've tried playing reflexively before and failed realllll hard every time haha.

Reaction is just a small part of the success ^^.

I do play video games since i was 5 (18 years gaming experience), all kinds of them
So experience in general is a big part, also it needs pratice to predict/read the right way

Playing pure on reflexes will kill you, because you need to be relaxed to a certain point, but playing on pure reflexes brings to much pressure (point of view from my experience).

My average is always 180-190ms. This is thanks to For Honor. Before I started playing this game, my average was as high as 220ms!

Playing in your parents cool basement helps too.

I'm wondering if that's why my score was lower than I expected, baha. I do alright in game, can react to most attacks, so assumed I'd have slightly higher than normal reaction speeds, but I suppose it makes sense to be a bit slowed down, haha. Gonna have to try and play straight at least one time.

[Moondyne_MC]

You know, this thread has me thinking - we've seen the ~200ms average reaction speed number thrown around, but if the majority of us (who play this highly reactive game) aren't really approaching that figure, I wonder how that figure was reached? Do they measure eyeball reaction speed instead perhaps? I find it hard to believe the average person would have 200ms finger reaction speed after doing that test, haha.
