It’s like I said, none of those confirms were actual confirms, I just guess 'cause I can’t react
shrug
what’s everyone elses? I’m interested. Everyone take the test, it’ll obvs be diff in FGs because the stimulus isn’t a simple red light green light, it’s just a rough idea of how fast you can send signals to your hands.
Jesus i did way worse than both of you lmao
Anyways, one thing I want to point out is that the strength of you reactions get lower against players who change up what they are doing.
Like if you have Ryu as your training mode dummy set to randomly forward I’m sure everyone here would AA him 10/10 times. However against an unpredictable online ryu you have to look out for his jump, his forward dash, his fireball, all while he is whiffing normals to distract you.
Everyone is susceptible to doing dumb shit in SFV. Or hell, any fighting game in general.
Everyone is susceptible to getting their asses stomped. There was a guy named Zeniside that posted here awhile back. Fighting his Bison gave me so much trouble and I’d usually lose the set badly or barely go even. Took me a good while before I actually started doing better against him.
The fact that you stuck it out (we must’ve played like close to 80 games) in the Battle Lounge tells me you can improve. First order of business is to kill the woe is me stuff. I’ve been there. It sucks. Not just in gaming, but in all aspects of life. Again, it sucks. That’s something you gotta overcome. It takes time. These players don’t have greater innate talent than you. They’re not from Mars. They simply have a different approach to the game than you do. That’s all.
“Improvement” has a broad meaning. You’ll have to narrow it down to what area you really want to get better in, since your own standards is the only part that needs to apply.

I need reactions to DP stuff tho :<
But no, I’m not gonna run characters that rely on 1-hit confirms in this game. D:
fastest ever recorded in history is supposedly 120ms
fucking hell
You’re all freaks
Im getting 320-330. We are all going to be around average.
Test is obviously gonna be flawed tho. Idk what kinda input delay I’ll have on my phone but I’d guess the variance between our input delay between tests would be pretty large.
Secondly this isn’t how reactions work in any game.
Maybe everyone knows this but I’m just pointing it out
You scored 259.0. You’re currently in the top 66 percentile for this test!
Yeah, it tests twitch reaction speed, not situational reaction speed. The former is generally way more important in fighting games.
However, twitch-reactions DO matter in SFV because of 1-hit confirms.
yeah phones fuck your score up by a considerable margin, same for laptops
man I’m worse than 40 years old women 
What were you using when you did the test? If it was something with lag in the display I think it can affect the result. For instance I got 240ms on my PC, but 320ms on my laptop.
I tried a third test on my gaming HTPC where I actually play SFV and got 230ms, so it’s something else that makes my suck at anti-airing.

Just a reminder for people doing the reaction speed test, this is your reaction in addition to any display lag. If you play a game on a different monitor or TV, you might find your game performance between the two to be different by potentially a few frames.
If your test result comes out really bad, you might want to check to see if it isn’t you, but rather is your monitor. Though really could be you. Some people are blessed with absurdly good reaction speed, many are normal, but some are cursed with poor reaction speed. And even “normal” is a wide enough range that one “normal” person may find it impossible to react to something that another “normal” person can reaction to.
