How to Improve Reaction Time in Gaming

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, and good night from the Free American Gaming Human Resources Department. The Free American Gaming Human Resources Department in conjunction with the Free American Gaming Research Corps and the Free American Gaming Esports Team has been involved in a deep study involving gaming reaction time. Reaction time is one of the most discussed, misunderstood, and confidently misattributed aspects of gaming performance.

Every missed shot, late dodge, or delayed button press is usually blamed on your reaction time. We at Free American Gaming Human Resources have agreed to release a guide to help gamers get better at reacting. This involves understanding what is a "reaction time", why your poor reaction time is your fault, optimizing your environment, and finally the Free American Gaming Grip Observe Trigger training protocol. Here is "How to Improve Reaction Time in Gaming."

What is a "Reaction Time?"

Starting off, this is a great question. It is essential for gamers to understand what a "Reaction Time" is and why it is essential to train that. You see, a reaction time refers to the delay between seeing or hearing something happen and doing something about it. Meaning that you see something, you're brain analyzes is, and your body reacts to it. This process includes aiming, dodging, clicking, blocking, or realizing too late that you have a "Reaction Time" of a sloth.

Keep in mind that "Reaction Time" is often confused with the following:

• Reflexes: Automatic responses you have

• Anticipation: Reacting before something happens

• Luck: Success with the help of the one divine God.

The Free American Gaming Research Corps in conjunction with the Free American Gaming Esports Team came with a simple definition for what a "Reaction Time" is.

It is defined as a blend of physical responses, mental readiness, and unwavering confidence, regardless of outcome.

With that in mind, let's begin

Why Your Poor Reaction Time is Your Fault!

Before you can learn more about how to improve your "Reaction Time" in gaming, you need to understand why you feel so slow when aiming. Just like an illness, your "Reaction Time" is impacted by how you maintain yourself as a gamer. Common contributing factors include:

• Skipping warm-ups

• Overthinking decisions

• Sitting incorrectly but refusing to adjust

• Remembering previous mistakes during current encounters

• Expecting perfection without preparation

• Maintaining a poor gaming environment

Rarely is a poor reaction time the direct result of hardware, unless you use a Razer. It is almost always caused by awareness, specifically being too aware. This sort of takes you back to getting in the Zone. You need to have that level of mental resilience to be able to strictly focus on reacting to pixels. Don’t worry though, Free American Gaming has an incredibly helpful training protocol to help you aim infinitely better.

Optimizing You're Environment

Nextly, before getting into the protocol, let's take a quick quiz. Take some time to observe the images above. Note the cleanliness, the comfort level, and the efficiency of each setup. Then determine which one you think is the best one.

Now then the question, which one is the most optimized gaming setup for the best reaction time?

If you said the right one, your WRONG! And here is why.

Look back at the previous section and note the sitting incorrectly but refusing to adjust and expecting perfection without preparation parts. The image on the left is the most optimized setup because the seat is adjusted for the most comfiest Logarithmic Gaming Posture, food and beverages are regularly available because this gamer learned the mistake of not having fuel nearby for the best gaming performance and the highest reaction time, and the mouse is on the right hand side, not the left hand side (which is just wrong).

The Free American Gaming Grip Observe Trigger Training Protocol

Finally, it is now time to get into the actual "Reaction Time" improving training protocol. Unlike normal aim training, this is one you can do anywhere at any time and you should be doing it always for the best reaction time. Anytime you are in public and a person gets within 3 feet of you do the following:

1. Extend your index finger forward, raise your thumb, and curl the remain fingers into your palm. Do so for both fingers.

2. Point with you Index Finger at the person you are reacting to as fast as you can.

3. Say the word, "Bang!" as if you are reacting to an enemy in a video game.

4. Take note of how fast you did this and aim to consistently do better.

5. Repeat at least 30-105 minutes a day!

The Free American Gaming Grip Observe Trigger training protocol will help you aim better. Expect to have a greater reaction time both in-game, in-tournament, and in-real life.

Conclusion

All in all, improving your "Reaction Time" is an essential element to master in gaming. Just because you aim well or have really good movement does not mean you can eliminate enemies fast enough. As such, it is essential to take the time to develop your "Reaction" Time by understanding what a "Reaction Time" is, knowing why your poor "Reaction Time" is your fault, optimizing your environment, and finally the practicing the Free American Gaming Grip Observe Trigger training protocol.
