I want to have inhumanely fast reaction speed for vidya, what do you do to increase your reaction speed?
>>343272591
Practice with games that need fast reaction times
Like arena shooters
Or stuff like Blacklight
>>343272591
Use hacks like every other top tier player
you can only increase your reaction speed a little bit, so if you're slow or getting slower as you age then you're fucked.
>>343272591
>how do I get good at split second decision making skills
>how do I get faster reaction time
You fucking don't
It's literally genetic.
You can get good, but you can't get that good.
Practice snapping to heads. Go into death match. Get used to sens e.t.c. But I cant tell you where youll peek.
>>343272591
You don't. Your brain is either suited to the task or it's not.
>>343272591
By giting gud. As >>343272824 wrote, try arena shooters.
>>343272984
That's racist
>>343272591
Drugs.
You want some real advice? Get better at anticipating instead of worrying about how fast you can blindly reaction to things. Street Fighter pros don't break throws on reaction, and CS:GO pros know maps and timing so well they could shoot you the exact second you round a corner without even needing to react to your presence. There's more to it than reacting, man. Figure it out.

>>343272591
Arena shooters are good. Try Quake Live or UT2K4. Alternatively look for aimtraining on CS GO or CS Source. Those are good ways to get your twitch skills up.
>>343272824
>blacklight
alright i know its a pc game, but what the fuck is with the ps4 version of that game. I understand its free and all but it feels so god damn clunky and like some xbox indie avatar shooter. I can't tell if its the framrate, my connection or just some shitty host overall but jesus
Amphetamines. Kids these days are already born with a prescription of Adderall in their hands.
>>343272906
I agree that everyone has an inherent skill ceiling but most people never reach it due to bad mouse settings, small mouse pads, and lack of training/practice.
>>343272591
Just keep practicing, if you keep doing the same shit for ages you get better at it.

>>343273371
Ya most people don't even know about mouse acceleration sadly enough. Though if you're in your mid to late 20's and didn't already know all this stuff you may as well not give a shit and just try to have fun.
>>343273664
no it's not.
>>343272591
Play twitch games. Preferably games that let you practice over and over, CS:GO probably isn't the best for practice because of permanent death. Try Quake Live, Shoot Mania Storm, Unreal Tournament. Heck even TF2 on an MGE server.
>>343273301
I haven't played the ps4 version, so I have no idea what you mean.

>>343272906
>>343273664
That's a common misconception. Yes age factors in but that's only when you reach your 40s and late 30s but if you practice right that shit never leaves your muscle memory, even well into your 60s. Veteran quake players still kick youngins without breaking a sweat.

Play a game that lets you adjust the speed.
Keep upping the speed until you just react instead of aim and can be precise enough to blindly headshot across the map based off of sound and instincts.
Then play a normal game and have everything feel like it's in slow motion.
Feels amazing but you have to keep practicing.
>>343276207
I think that's pretty good considering how much pain I'm in
>>343276069
Doesn't sound that retarded at all since every suggestion about making your brain function better usually includes diet/exercise.
>>343278703
Lol the tabs
Anyways this test is pretty shitty since lots of things come into play. You monitor response time, your mouse response time/keyboard response time.
>>343278208
>adjust the speed
Adjust the speed of what?
For the last time genetics are what figure if you're going to be good at something.
>>343274586
It feels like playing underwater. Everything is slow-ish, clunky and floaty.
>>343279048
of the game.
Lots of shooters have consoles that let you increase the game speed.
Seriously this is the fastest way to get better at shooting in vidya.
>>343279048
I'm assuming he means the entire game but I don't really know of any game that does that.
I do remember playing sc2 training which was noticeably slower then going to normal game speed then back to training made me feel like a God.
Make sure your hardware is on point - no vsync, high polling rates, highest FPS, highest refresh rate you can, proper timers and latency setups, etc. Those can make a much bigger impact than training your reactions.
Daily reminder if you're over the age of 26-ish just give up at trying to improve your reflexes, its all downhill.

I've always had fast reflexes, but in the last year I've noticed I'm not beating a lot of people to the first shot in FPSes. It's getting annoying, though, it could be newer games just have more dogshit netcode nowadays, and reward crappier pings, since I always have ~40ms ping to servers due to my USA location between west coast, Texas, and Chicago servers.
>>343279139
This sounds like DBZ gravity training. I like it.
I can never tell if my mouse speed is too high or too low.
Low and it feels sluggish and I die because of it
High becsuse I move my hand a tiny bit and it'll miss shit
I can never find a perfect fit though after hours and hours of trying
>>343279465
>not twitch shooting a target in the world and readjusting your mouse until your cursor constantly lands ontop of the object no matter what angle you turn
>>343279465
This is the wrong way to judge mouse sens but you shouldn't feel bad because everyone does it. You need to look at it as function of your available mouse movement space and how much you need to swipe to move either 90 degrees or 180 degrees. Ideally you want to use as much available mouse space as you can and have a swipe from wherever you decide (Middle, end to end) to equal that 90 or 180 degrees. So say you swipe across from one end to another end of your mousepad, and it's 180 degrees. Now you can swipe from the middle and have roughly 90 degrees. Or 90 from end to end and 45 from middle to end.
Also turn off every aspect of aim assist, acceleration, etc. as you possibly can unless you're playing an arena shooter.
>>343276207

>>343279465
What I do is that I try to find a natural sensitivity.
Go in the game you're calibrating sense for, find a doorway, stand about 1m away from it, aim at one side of the doorframe, close your eyes and switch aim to the other side without thinking too much about what mouse sense you're currently on, just move the mouse the amount you feel is natural.
Do that until you get a rough fit, then you should have something relatively close to your natural sensitivity. If you want to fine tune it, aim at one side of the doorframe, shoot it, then shoot the other side, and repeat as fast as you can while maintaining accuracy, and you'll feel if it's slightly too slow or too fast. This fine tuning takes a while as you want a few minutes to really get a feel for each attempt.

How is this supposed to prove your (retarded) point that the peeker's advantage magically disappear below 200ms?
Instead of relying on reactions you should try learning to predict as well. If that's a common spot, check it first.
Arena shooters to improve reactions though.

>just give up
The study doesn't say that a person aware of the phenomenon can't improve looking-doing latency. It simply says that it gets worse with age.
>>343282562
Dont be delusional, I really like Siege but the peeker always has a ridiculous advantage
Rather than trying to react fast, predict where the enemy is, know the maps and the rough time it takes for enemies to get to certain parts of the map. In old arena shooters you had to predict arcs and how fast your shots travel to meet the target in that arc, thats not really an issue anymore, you just need to know the maps.
>>343279284
There are multiple CS pros in their late 20s that still shit all over everybody. That study even says that overall performance remains the same because you compensate by improving in other ways.
>>343290902
>in their late 20s

Like CS is such a big thing that you can even reliably say that? Unless people get scouted at young age you can't make that fucking claim

I just play games that require fast-reactions like Osu andCS:GOregularly.
I think my reaction speed improved quite a bit.

Regardless of how fast you can react, you want to reduce the situations you have to make a raw reaction to in almost any competitive game. Learn to fuzzy guard mixups in fighters and use sound/timing etc in FPS.
>only have average reaction time
>still wreck people in every shooter I play
I am starting to think reaction time is a meme.
>>343293021
Not a meme, but not the only thing needed to win. You can beat a player that has a better aim than you if you play more intelligently.
>>343292234
>Learn to fuzzy guard mixups.
That only applies to 3d fighters. Fuzzy guard has the exact opposite connotation in 2d fighters where instead of blocking a high/low at the same time. You force them into a situation where their block animation doesn't change and you hit them with a high/low. Not so strong in SF type games but it's fucking ridiculous in shit like GG
>>343293021
Its about knowing maps and predicting the players actions, not necessarily reactions, just being smart really. If you can successfully flank and outmaneauver someone that is miles better than having a faster reaction than them, having a fast reaction will certainly make you much better though.
>see player running up some stairs and you cant get a very clear shot
>know that he will enter a certain area within a certain amount of time and you can go and ambush him as he goes into that area
vs
>shoot him in the back as soon as you see him climbing the stairs, but its not a clear shot so it doesnt outright kill him
>he can still get away and/or can turn around and shoot back at you
Just know the maps.
>>343293237
"3D" style fuzzy is also in KOF. I always called the GG thing "fuzzy guard break".
>>343293198
>>343293420
yeah you are probably right, still kind of strange since I can also do really well in shooters I never really played but I guess certain skills/concepts translate from one shooter to the next. also I guess having slightly above average reaction time already means there are few people with better reactions assuming the distribution is some sort of bell curve.

You can't increase your reflexes that much. It will stay roughly the same no matter what you do.
However, if you know the game you're playing well enough, you can become able to make quick reads that they will look like lightning reflexes to other people watching you play.
If you're talking about shooters, having a decent mouse with a good setup (no mouse acceleration, ajusted sensitivity etc) can definitely help you.
Either way, reflexes as a whole are not as important as people picture them to be, so don't expect it to make you an excellent player overnight. That's why people who are good at reflexe-based phone games don't become good players automatically elsewhere.
You'll be much better off focusing on fundamental things aspects about the game you're playing, honing your skills to the point where reflexes aren't going to be that decisive to your gameplay.
you lost that fire fight because you rely too much on iron sights
in that situation you shoulda hip fired
Everyone who says you can't increase reaction times prove it empirically without the psychology because remember that isn't science.

Don't use any mind altering drugs or medicine.
Be white or asian as reaction times and IQ are extremely closely correlated.
>>343294975
i got this this time now
i got it figured for sure
basically all you do is look at the right most gauge and when the hand is in line with the 3rd to 6th line on the gauge, you can expect the STOP will appear
just time your click when the hand is in line with either of those and you can get robot levels of reaction time

Drugs are sorta useful since they can teach you how to do the whole react faster thing. Once you experience the state of mind like that enough times you can start to force your mind into it regularly even when sober.
For some people even caffeine can help.
at 40 yrs old, the latency is still the determining factor in whether I get the first shot on someone, assuming their skill level is near mine
if you're playing call of duty tier crap like the OP's picture you might as well give up on 'skill' because very commonly those players are properly and intelligently abusing whatever moderate autoaim is baked into the netcode
another reason I detect "streaks of failure" is because it's possible to mentally set yourself up for harder shots, imagining that you're the better player, that you "should win" when in reality you're just walking purposefully into a situation where the other player has a better and easier shot

Honestly, it's all a matter of knowledge rather than twitch reactions.
In high level play for any shooter, players usually will study the map. Sometimes the developer will make it easier by offering stats online via map viewer and such. With this knowledge the player can know where someone will most likely appear and thus pre-planing their attack.
Example: You get a power up on the map at 0:03. The next time it spawns is 4:00 minute into the match which means the power up will appear again @ 4:03. Thus using this knowledge to gain the upper hand on your opponent.
It's things like this and viewer death count areas that allow players to have these twitch reactions, because they already know were you will be.
Another example would be godlike spawn camping strats that you see in 1v1 high level matches.
