Maybe you just suck -- "physically" | Forums

33 years old with an 253 average for me. Not sure if that's good, but am a avid fencer and so rely on quick reactions to score hits.

As for the game, I find that you may not always be able to react but controlling the distance gives you a better reaction time. Also one thing I am guilty of is not purposefully blocking when I should. Fights become much easier when you block 3/4 of their light attacks.

This actually reminds me of a test i did for my science class in highschool. there's a slightly more accurate way to measure your reaction time without the use of a computer (which i think might prove better because you don't have to worry about refresh rate and all that jazz)

You and a buddy, you take a ruler or meter stick and hold it out. the person you're testing holds out one hand with their index finger and thumb out ready to pinch down.

for three itterations you drop the ruler and have them catch it. record where you catch it at and wright down the measurement.

if you want to make it interesting you can do it three times while counting down to let them know when you're going to drop it, and then 3 times at random (even distract them, talk to them about their day, then drop it at some random point)

once you've done this, apply the following equation: d=1/2a t^2

When you have almost precognition

That's a nice luck shot ^^

The first try would be 316

Average of 279 after one beer. 29 years old, always played video games and shooters. Was never really good, never really bad.

Age 43, average reaction time 220ms.

I seem to hopelessly suck at For Honor no matter how much I practice and how hard I try.

How small the reaction time needs to be in this game to be somewhat on par with the average?

While reaction time certainly does help, it's not the only determining factor of skill. To me, deep game knowledge beats and knowledge of mechanics beats out insane apms or lightning reaction times in any matchup. Keep practicing, keep learning - you'll get to a point where you'll look back and see how much you've grown.

Besides, 220 is already pretty good.

Then why is it that I find for example a simple counter guar break extremely difficult most of the time impossible to do?
Not to mention parrying anything other, than super heavy/slow heavy attacks? How many hours of practice against bots is one ready to face humans?
