i know of another possibility: getting very lucky with one reaction. last night i got a 0.019 seconds reaction on one of the tests. i was nervous and clicked before anything happened. unfortunately i was too distracted by this amazing feat of luck to do well in the other 4, and my average turned out average. i suppose if someone restarted the test over and over until their first reaction was super low, then got around .16 in the other 4 then their average would be around .13. this is only a possibility and i'm not at all suggesting this is what happened. even if this was the case one would need all of their times to be fast to get such a low average. edit: just cranked up the volume and had a 0.189994 average/0.157408 best in Sound Practice in the reaction test program. it seems i respond more quickly to audial than visual stimuli. i don't think that helps with tetris though, unless i'm recognizing a piece locking sound so i know when to start controlling the next piece. that's all i can think of.
Just a little notice : Lock delay is 15 frames in DEATH 500.. So --> 0.25 sec.. If you have a reaction time at 0.22..That gives you 0.03 sec to decide to move the tetriminos!!
Only if you need to know the next tetromino. Otherwise, you have the previous tetromino's play time + ARE + lock delay - reaction time to decide.
I think you guys are placing too much emphasis on reaction time. When you perform moves like, for example, DAS'ing to the wall and then pressing back once, you are not stressing your reaction time. This is a well rehearsed move, executed automatically. You already know when the piece will hit the wall before it even gets there. The only time reaction time really comes into play is when some unexpected mistake happens. In this situation Amnesia's assessment is accurate... At Death 500+ you're very likely to misplace a second piece as well.
this just in: bughunter2 is a beast- jesus!!! http://humanbenchmark.com/tests/reactio ... php?s=7316 forget about coding dude, just start ... hmm, martial arts?
you know, the shorter your arms are, the faster the action potentials travel along the nerves and the faster arrive to the muscles. thats the reason why top athletes in floor exercises are all very tall. maybe bughunter2 is either a very tall person or - as the name suggests - has discovered a bug. (modified the system clock or whatever...)
Huh, I tried it twice...first time I was unfocused and got a 230 average with a range of 170-350. This time it went 194.4 average with a range of 169-210. It's so tempting right about now to start training for faster reaction times now (surely somebody else here is thinking the same thing). Gotta add that to the list of things to say I'll train but never will! Yup, there ya go, Sub-180ms Average Reaction Time.

i tried a few more times and got an average of 172.4 and a best of 161. http://humanbenchmark.com/tests/reactio ... php?s=7336
I repeat and confirm, for the best reaction time, when I reached my first M rank I remember now it was after having stopped smoking junks 2 weeks before.. So I decided to stop again to valid this notice..
